| Resumen : | Traditional fisheries in Madagascar provide the main source of livelihood for over
100,000 fishermen from 1250 communities along 5,000 kms of coast. The fishery
provides 50% of the Malagasy fish catch and supplies 70% of the fish locally
consumed. Despite this, the sector is not recognised officially, and is marginalised
from mainstream national economic development. Since 1995 a group of Malagasy
NGOs, supported by European NGOs, have been drawing public attention – both
locally and internationally – to this situation. Over the last 6 years they have carried
out a number of programmes both locally and internationally. These have involved
studying and documenting the traditional sector, organising formal meetings
between representatives from traditional fishing communities and policy makers,
and lobbying the Malagasy Government and European Union Member States to
include traditional fisheries in their development initiatives. |
