Abstract

Somalia’s devastating civil war of 1991 pushed the country’s fisheries into a state of abrupt collapse, leading to the cessation of almost all fisheries activities. An estimated 2,000 people lost their jobs, and fishing communities are still struggling to recover from the crisis. Nonetheless, illegal fishing and the dumping of nuclear and other wastes from the industrialized world continue to pose environmental threats to the country.
