"DFID is to fund an African initiative to generate political action against illegal fishing at regional and sub-regional level in sub-Saharan Africa. The work will be led by Namibia, a partner state in the Ministerial High Seas Task Force set up to tackle the problem. Having an exemplary record in fisheries policy and management, Namibia is the natural leader for this role ... Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing threatens a valuable resource that is the basis for some 45 million livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa." (Quoted from article)
