Abstract

This report presents a review of the Mozambican fisheries management Plans (FMP) using the latest available information provided by key stakeholders, representatives for small scale fisherman, industrial and semi- industrial associations as well as the representative of fishing council community and the national statistics. In general, Mozambique went through several evolutionary phases in order to establish management and control measures for the fisheries sector. Indeed, the focus on the shrimp’s fishery i.e the declaration of closure of the fishery in the 90’s was one of the first measures imposed due to high fishing effort and the need to contain new entries. This applied only to the industrial and semi-industrial sector and the small scale fisheries (SSF) were not concerned. However, the dynamics of fisheries pointed to the inclusion of the artisanal subsector as it normally contributes more than 90% of total catches and naturally affect the same resource as exploited by semi-industrial and industrial sectors.
