Info

6 Results of initial document review and consultationsMuch information is available on the Namibian hake fishery, but it is widely dispersed. This isparticularly the case for biological research, although in recent years quite a bit of work has alsogone into defining and understanding the wider ecosystem. While copious reports are available,these are not always easy to access. Also, people in MFMR do not always seem aware of reports anddocuments. This seems to underline the necessity for having a MP.The available documents will provide good guidance for many of the objectives, strategies andperformance indicators.The consultative meeting with industry provided many insights into the fishing operations. Theindustry in general accepts the management system that the Namibian government has in place.There seems general support for the biological research done by NatMIRC and acceptance of theresults coming from the research. On many issues the industry seems to share the same opinions asMFMR. The industry was also supportive of a management plan to bring together the variouspolicies, strategies, goals and objectives.A few issues surfaced during the consultations that need to be looked at carefully during the secondvisit: The process in which changes in the TAC are determined is not clear to the industry. ThatDirectorate of Resource Management (DRM) has a policy of not changing the TACrecommendations by more than 10% each year seemed not widely known.Lack of transparency and consistency regarding quota allocations.While the industry understands the 30/70 division of the hake TAC into freezer quota andwet fish quota, many in the industry feel that the implementation of this policy should bemodified.Lack of action against those fishing companies that do not pay the quota fees on time is anissue that many of the industry people felt strongly about.Access to investment funds is difficult and a few ideas were discussed in that regard.On some of these issues, the consultants will need guidance from senior staff of MFMR, even fromthe Honourable Minister.NFDS Africa ‐ Interim Report for the Namibian Hake Management Plan Page 6
