Background Where as fisheries resources have been sensibly managed, developed and utilized by local communities and other users, the have also been altered and destroyed in some cases on the ground that they are indefinitely renewable. It has however been realized that these renewable resources are limited and thus there has been a need to seek ways and means to better conserve , manage and develop them on sustainable basis. Existing planned national policies for conservation , management and development of natural resources face identical problems. These include conflicting sectoral policies , lack of general appreciation of values of natural resources and therefore their need for conservation and management , as well as lack of central point for coordination of management actions. Thus the present fisheries policy and strategy statement addresses these problems as well as setting scene for all that national wants for her fisheries resources. The statement focuses on promotion of sustainable exploitation , utilization and marketing of fish resources to provide food, income and foreign exchange earnings and effective protection of the aquatioc environment to sustain development efforts are:- • Improved resource managent and control • Intergration of environment protection and development • Improved training and education • Improved knowledge of fisheries resource base • Efficient resource utilization and marketing • Applied strategic research • Aquaculture development • Community participation • Fisheries information management • Gender and development THE FISHERIES SECTOR POLICY AND STRATEGIC STATEMENT
