Most especially from the Chinese trawlers, they will come to west Africa coast to fish, something that can never be done in European countries. This is a huge revenue source for teeming unemployed Nigerians. Only if our leaders knows and follows how things are done overseas. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, just delegate someone from the relevant ministry to study the guidelines of fishing in developed countries and implement them. Create incentives for setting up fishing companies, import trawlers and set up large fishing market in coastal areas. Huge revenue source and job for Nigerians. If you watch Fishing Wars on National Geographic, you will know how much revenue this country is losing to illegal foreign trawlers. One blue fin tuna can cost as much as $1000 (N365,000) just one blue fin. However, the will for implementation is missing. 11 Likes |

Nigeria simply needs to build up its naval presence. The only reason foreigners are so confortable violating laws is because we arent enforcing them. Millitary build up cost money though especially if we want to projet power over the whole Gulf of Guinea. |

Since government trawlers are not more functional, what do you expect? It is like blaming illegal "solid minerals" miners in Nigeria when the government isn't interested in that sector as they do in oil. The truth is that, the fishes they catch on our territorial waters are not the usual ones you find on the markets (Titus, mackrels etc) because, those ones are found between Morocco and Mauritania, owning to the cold current favourable for large schools of such fishes over there. I know we have crayfish upwelling in the bight of Biafra (or Benin if you like) and that is why most crayfish sellers source it from Oron and adjoining areas. |

How Nigeria Loses $70m to Illegal Fishing by Chinese Vessels The Nigeria Navy has disclosed that the country loses as much as $70milion annually to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU), activities of some Chinese Fishing vessels in the maritime domain. These Chinese vessels usually come as close as four nautical miles to the coast, which is illegal, thus depriving local fishermen of the resources. This was disclosed when a delegation from the German Armed Forces General Staff College visited the Western Naval Command (WNC) headquarters in Lagos, recently. According to the WNC Flag Officer Commanding (FOC), Rear Admiral Sylvanus Abbah, the perpetrators usually come as close as four nautical miles to the coast. He said such acts are not allowed, further adding that by so doing, they deprive local fishermen of the resources they ought to accrue to them. Although Abbah said there was significant reduction in unregulated fishing, he noted that this was because a lot of vessels had been arrested for IUU and handed over to relevant authorities. He said: “The command went to work and started arresting vessels without fishing license. Any vessel that does not respond to our fishing codes or without authorised licenses are apprehended and handed over to the appropriate authorities for prosecution. “Even those with licenses are also arrested if they are found to be acting against the terms of their licenses in line with the Harmonised Standard Operating Procedures of arrests and prosecution of vessels and persons in Nigeria’s maritime domain.” On measures put in place to ameliorate the effects of piracy, he said Lagos waters were relatively safe as the command recorded only case of piracy, which they recorded a break through by rescuing the victims and arresting the Pirates. “To ameliorate the effects of piracy, we have put together a safe anchorage area in a general axis on Lagos waters and we have deployed vessels to protect them. “If others can buy into this method, it will go a long way to fight piracy and ensure protection of our vessels”, he stressed. Meanwhile, the Defence Attach, Colonel Thomas Brillisauer said that plans had been concluded for Germany to donate five Epenal Boats to the Nigerian Navy (NN). He said the boats, which were built at the Naval Shipyard Limited in Port Harcourt, would be handed over to the NN in a few weeks time to aid the service’s fight against oil theft and other maritime crimes. According to him, Germany was open to donate more boats as its assistance to the NN to boost its presence within the Niger Delta and the Lake Chad regions, adding that Epenal Boats were chosen because the navy already had similar ones in its fleet and understood its functionality.

OkaNaUbe: The government failed at both mining and fishing business. The government encourage domestic fishing industry, patrol maritime domain and old open fishing terminals. You can blame foreigners since they are law breakers. They ought to be arrested since they are unlicensed, dont pay tax, harm environment and take jobs. These are plenty of good fish specicies that do well in warm water climates. If our fish werent good these foreiners wouldn't leave their shores to come to Gulf of Guinea. Fish you can find off Bight of Biafra include, blue marlin, croaker, barracuda, squid, sardine, snapper, shrimp, prawn. 1 Like |
