Dozens of delegates from nine countries affiliated to the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO) are attending a three-day second annual meeting of the Commission of SEAFO that got underway in Windhoek yesterday.
The SEAFO meeting will look at issues affecting the fisheries and marine world at par with the SEAFO Convention.
...Among other deliberations is the issue of illegal, unregulated, unreported fishing (IUU) which is expected to enjoy prominence from fisheries and marine resources experts delegated to the meeting that is taking place in Windhoek.
"The greatest threat to sustainability of fisheries resources in high seas is - the demon - the illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU). IUU fishing undermines the effectiveness of conservation and management of the world's fisheries resources," said Iyambo.Dr Abraham Iyambo, Namibia's Fisheries and Marine Resources Minister.
