Fisheries and Aquaculture Development

Fisheries and aquaculture development focuses on enhancing the capture and farming of fish and other aquatic organisms to improve food production and support livelihoods in rural areas. It involves creating sustainable practices that boost fish stocks and cultivate species efficiently, while also protecting ecosystems. By developing this sector, communities gain access to nutritious food, create jobs, and generate income. It plays a vital role in alleviating poverty, ensuring food security, and fostering economic growth, especially in coastal and inland rural regions where fishing is crucial for community survival and prosperity.
