Its overall purpose is to ensure that the artisanal fishery targeting small and medium sized pelagic fish in Kenya is sustainable in the long term, providing the maximum social and economic benefit to the fishers that depend on fishing for their livelihood.The artisanal fishery in Kenya is recognized as one of the most important contributors to the food security of coastal villages. Vision 2030 identifies fisheries alongside other food sectors and proposes value addition and use of modern fishing technology in the fisheries sector. However, the increase in fishing activity and a decrease in catches have necessitated an urgent intervention into the management of the resource, if optimal benefits are to be obtained. With respect to artisanal and sport fishery targeting small and medium sized pelagic fish, the general objectives of the Government of Kenya are: (i) to ensure long-term biological sustainability and ecological integrity of the pelagic fishery, (ii) to ensure development of a pelagic fishery that addresses community, national and regional concerns and interests, (iii) to optimize sustainable utilization and benefits from the pelagic fishery, (iv) to develop and improve governance of the pelagic fishery.
