| Title: | Illegal Fishing in Seychelles |
| ASFA Terms: | Illegal fishing |

| Abstract: | Seychelles has extensive pelagic resources and other specific species such as sharks,
demersal species, tow spotted red snappers, green job fish, spankled emperor and
grouper, etc., not to mention an abundance of sea cucumbers that are not yet
exploited.
With an EEZ of 1.4 million sq km making the ocean surface 3019 times larger than
the land area, it is not surprising that other foreign fishing vessels engage in illegal
fishing in Seychelles’ territorial waters, due to the absence of a relevant monitoring,
control or surveillance unit. |
