Relevant information
Fisheries management is the responsibility of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries , which has the stated aim of managing the marine ecosystem in a sustainable manner. Fisheries management is regulated by the Fisheries Act No. 45/2009. The Act regulates, inter alia, subsidies, support, and incentives to small-scale and artisanal fisheries , including fuel subsidies as stipulated in Presidential Regulation No. 15/2012. Effective management of fisheries is difficult to achieve due, inter alia, to the lack of enforcement capabilities (in the face of illegal, unreported and unregulated catches) and inadequate fisheries management at the provincial level.
