Although the fishing sector in Somalia has a huge and untapped potential, the Somali population is deprived of the protein-rich fish and the proceeds that could have emerged from its sales in international markets. This is because of two main reasons: Firstly, the Somali government has a limited capacity in gearing forward this industry, and secondly, the local small-scale fishermen don’t have the skills or equipment required to harvest substantive fish from the ocean or rivers.
