Bruwer, Carina (2025) Overfishing forces Zambia’s third Lake Tanganyika fishing ban.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Once-abundant fish stocks must be replenished, but the ban alone won’t inspire more sustainable lake use by local communities. Lake Tanganyika is Africa’s longest and deepest lake, with a shoreline lengthier than Tanzania’s entire coastline. It supports local livelihoods and the economies of riparian countries through its rich biodiversity and central role in regional trade and transport. However, unsustainable activities like overfishing threaten the lake’s resources. Lake Tanganyika’s waters are shared by Tanzania (41%), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (45%), Burundi (8%), and Zambia (6%). The lake is governed by the Convention on the Sustainable Management of Lake Tanganyika, which established the Lake Tanganyika Authority (LTA) to facilitate integrated management between the riparian states.
