Target: the 2nd edition of the FISHERMAN Regional Conference will bring together Regional and International Marine Resources professionals, fisheries authorities, academics, policy makers, activists, politicians and others involved and interested in Fishery sector in the region.
Aim: The Indian Ocean is the smallest, youngest and physically most complex of the three major oceans. Most of the water area of the Indian Ocean lies within the tropical and temperate zones, with a significant biodiversity and several upwelling zones important to commercially valuable marine species. Although great fisheries potential, some areas of this ocean are still insufficiently known.
