Abstract
Somalia has an extended coastline with underexploited fisheries resources. Government efforts to develop the fisheries sector have been severely hampered by the almost complete lack of information about coastal communities engaged in fishing. Little is known about the role of fishing for household income and employment or about the potential roles of fish in the diet of coastal peoples. There is also little accurate information about the potential fish catch using traditional techniques or those that may be adopted by artisanal fishermen as opposed to modern trawler techniques. This project will collect and analyze baseline data on coastal fishing communities of Northeast Somalia in order to provide a basis for possible artisanal fisheries development in the region.
