Abstract

The East African nation of Mozambique, which lies between Tanzania and South Africa, boasts a 2,770-km coastline along the Indian Ocean and an Exclusive Economic Zone of 493,700 sq km. The FAO estimates the country’s coastal area to be 738, 030 sq km. Of the 110 districts in the country, 42 are coastal, covering 23 per cent of the total surface area. Given these conditions, it is but natural that the fisheries sector plays an important role in Mozambique’s economy.
