The fisheries of Zanzibar: potential for new investments

Naga, 2005, vol. 28, issue 3/4, 37-40

Abstract: Zanzibar, one of the poorest areas of sub-Saharan Africa, has a good potential for foreign investment in offshore (EEZ) marine capture fisheries, in aquaculture and in fi sheries infrastructure. ZanzibarÆs fisheries resources could be better managed in an effort to alleviate the poverty of its rural population and to provide food security. At present, ZanzibarÆs fisheries are artisanal and its total annual production of fish of just over 20000 t, caught in inshore waters, is consumed locally. The government of Zanzibar has liberalized its policies to make Zanzibar a good environment for foreign investment.
