Descrição
Artisanal fisheries are vital to coastal villages in Mozambique, producing over 90 percent of the 400,000 tons of annual fish landings, yet poor management and overfishing threaten both people and nature. This report provides an in-depth analysis of artisanal fisheries in the provinces of Nampula and Zambezia. A combination of desk research, fisheries stock assessment and modeling, and field trip missions to both provinces for data collection and validation was used to understand the various fisheries in the region, including fisheries status, harvesting practices, threats, management status and options, supply chains, and the different ways these fisheries support livelihoods, food security, and culture for men and women in the communities. Data sources included fishery catch data, group interviews, key informant interviews, and household surveys in all districts with intensive or full coverage or limited coverage depending on historical data availability and assumed priority.
