Somalia has the longest coastline in Africa, measuring 3,330 km and claims an EEZ of some 830,389 km² (Per Erik Bergh. 2011). Its fishery resources are significant, with an estimated sustainable potential in the order of 200,000 MT per year for pelagic fish stocks, based on several fish surveys conducted in the 1970s and 1980s (FAO Fishery Country Profile. 2005).
The following study was undertaken with the objective of assessing the development potential of the fisheries sector in Puntland, in terms of growth potential and actions/interventions required for further development. The assessment is part of UNDP’s efforts to improve livelihoods and promote economic diversification that form part of the UNDP Strategy for Poverty Reduction and Economic Recovery (PRER).
