This paper shows that more and more information is becoming available on HIV/AIDS in the fisheries sector, and that experience in tackling it is growing too. Nevertheless, efforts to date have been patchy and insufficient. There is a need for a much larger and more co-ordinated effort by a wide range of organisations and groups to develop, resource and implement policies to reduce and counter the effects of HIV/AIDS in fishing communities. In its absence, many African countries with important fisheries will be hard-hit by HIV/AIDS, with all the human suffering, loss of life and falling productivity this entails. Moreover, if the problem of HIV/AIDS is not addressed, these countries will also forego the important and much-needed opportunity for rural economic growth and poverty reduction that fisheries can provide.
