National Fisheries Strategy.

The Strategy is made to implement and supplement in particular the National Fisheries Policy, which is the main national sectoral policy for fisheries and aquaculture. The Strategy represents the compilation of eight other sub-strategies which have been formulated to give specific direction to their specific areas - the Aquaculture Sub-strategy; the Aquaculture Extension Sub-strategy; the Inland Capture Fisheries Sub-strategy; the Marine Sector Sub-strategy; the Shrimp Sub-strategy; the Monitoring and Evaluation Sub-strategy; the Quality Control Sub-strategy; and the Human Resource Development Sub-strategy. The development of the sub strategies followed the key areas of the National Fisheries Policy-1998, but has expanded on the importance of collaboration with other stakeholders and the development of a systematic planning, monitoring and evaluation strategy, human resource development strategy and extension strategy.
