The six year project will assist the government of the Maldives (GOM)
to: increase fish production, government revenues, and foreign exchange
earnings, at a lower processing cost; increase incomes of fishing households
to alleviate relative poverty; reduce migration to the capital, Male, through
balanced regional growth; and create the environment for increased private
sector participation in the fisheries sector. The project is intended to
reinforce the existing system of artisanal fisheries and small scale fish
collection.

A report on the fourth year of research into methods of reducing bycatch
in the southeastern shrimp trawl fishery. Proof of concept bycatch reduction
devices were found to reduce finfish bycatch rates between 43% and 67% with
shrimp retention rates between 90% and 100%.
World Wildlife Fund (1997). Subsidies and Depletion of World Fisheries,
WWF s Endangered Seas Campaign, 1250 Twenty-Fourth St., NW,
Washington, D.C., 136 pp.
Because a careful accounting of the costs and benefits of fisheries
subsidy programs is a prerequisite for an informed discussion of future policy
options, World Wide fund for Nature commissioned four case studies on Euro-
African fishing agreements, the Newfoundland fishery, vessel buyback programs,
and Japanese subsidies of distant water tuna fleets. They examine the
connection between government aid to the fisheries and the array of problems
confronting world fisheries, in the context of selected subsidy programs.
They demonstrate both the disconnect between the rhetoric of fisheries
reform and the reality of government economic policy, as well as the
complexity inherent in reshaping these programs in a way that will promote a
transition to more sustainable fishing.
