Abstract: | The Republic of Maldives is an island country composed by atolls in the
Indian Ocean. From times immemorial, the islands’ population have been strongly
depending on marine resources, as far as food culture, nutrition supply and
economic impact are concerned. However, catch amounts of skipjack tuna, which is
the most important fisheries resource in Maldives, have decreased drastically in
recent years. On the other hand, an increasing fishing pressure on the reef fishes by
coastal fisheries is linked to an increasing demand of supplies from the resorts
hotels and for export. Relevant governmental organizations and donors have begun
exerting efforts to tackle those issues and ensure sustainable fisheries resources
use. |
