4.3. Artisanal Fisheries<br />
Artisanal fishery is conducted by local traditional fishermen along the coast in the relatively shallow waters. It involves wooden or fiberglass boats<br />
with a maximum length of 15-18 m. Artisanal fishermen can employ a combination of different gears (beach seine, gill nets, hook <strong>and</strong> line) <strong>and</strong> stay at<br />
sea over a period of 8 to 10 days per trip.<br />
