Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b>The Deputy Director General for Technical Services at the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA), Mr. William Y. Boeh, has underscored the important role co-management Association plays in the management of sustainable fisheries.<\/p>\n

Fisheries co-management is a partnership arrangement in which the community of local resource users (fishers) and government, with support and assistance as needed from other stakeholders, share the responsibility and authority for the management of fisheries.<\/p>\n

Speaking Wednesday at the start of a one-day stakeholders consultation workshop for Co-Management Association Policy Development at the Corporate headquarters of NaFAA, Mr. Boeh said co-management is an essential tool in the sustainability efforts of fisheries.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boeh is optimistic that the fisheries industry of Liberia would win the fight against illegal fishing if co-management were prioritized by stakeholders.<\/p>\n

The NaFAA Deputy Director General for Technical Services informed the gathering that the fisheries authority was making efforts to ensuring that every coastal county has a co-management association for the sustainable management of Liberia\u2019s fishery resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiberia has nine coastal counties, and we\u2019ll ensure that every county has a CMA. The first CMA was in Robertsport, and later Bomi and Montserrado. We\u2019ll reach out to our partners including the EU to mobilize support to extend to other counties\u201d.<\/p>\n

The event, with support from the European Union (EU), was held under the auspices of the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), a registered charity working for the good of the environment.<\/p>\n

Providing overview of the workshop, EJF Chief Representative Officer,<\/b> Cephas Asare said he was glad that co-management remains at the heart of NaFAA\u2019s operations considering that it first became operational in Robertsport.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Asare, the consultative workshop was meant to have a policy that guides the direction of co-management.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the First Counsellor of the European Union Delegation to Liberia, Stefania Marrone, said strong political commitment is needed to secure the continual positive economic and social developments in Liberia\u2019s fisheries sector.<\/p>\n

Madam Marrone lauded NaFAA for being involved in the process and taking ownership and responsibility for the consultation to ensure the development of a strong co-management policy.<\/p>\n

She said the EU strongly believes that enforcing co-management with all stakeholders will increase the benefits to the fisheries sector in Liberia which can go back to its golden future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EU is glad to have been able to deliver its support to Liberia\u2019s fisheries sector and remains confident that the good usage of the aid will allow Liberia to conduct fishery communities in Liberia to a sustainable and united fishery policy\u201d.<\/p>\n
