Gaza Strip fisheries show promise despite challenges, new report finds.
The report aims to quickly assess the fisheries sector in the Gaza Strip. Challenges include infrastructure issues and movement restrictions, but there are positive aspects like a well-organized fishing industry and growing aquaculture entrepreneurship. The researchers used Fishery Performance Indicators to evaluate economic, community, and ecological outcomes of the fisheries. These indicators have been used in various countries and were applied to the overall fisheries in the Gaza Strip. A descriptive fishery profile was created as a first step before using the indicators.
