RECOMMENDATION: DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE MARICULTURE<br />
Sustainable mariculture offers possibilities for protein-rich food production <strong>and</strong> economic development<br />
within the BCLME. There is increasing interest in the industry – both from Government (research <strong>and</strong><br />
planning) <strong>and</strong> the private sector within the BCLME region. Iitembu (2005) has completed a viability<br />
analysis of several species <strong>and</strong>, in addition to oysters <strong>and</strong> black mussels, considers Namibia’s waters<br />
highly viable for the future expansions of abalone <strong>and</strong> rock lobster.<br />
