26 June 2009
Â
Â
The
Institute
for
Security
Studies
commissioned
a
research
report
on
illegal
fishing
in
South
Africa.
The
resulting
report,
authored
by
Shaheen
Moola,
has
gained
widespread
media
coverage,
prompting
Marine
and
Coastal
Management
to
undertake
a
peer
review
of
the
findings.
Â
This
event
provides
an
opportunity
for
the
report
to
be
presented
and
discussed
by
a
wide
range
of
local
stakeholders,
including
the
fishing
industry,
research
organizations
and
NGOs.
Participants
will
consider
the
scale
of
illegal
fishing
in
South
Africa
and
the
current
approach
to
combating
it
by
the
government
and
other
stakeholders.
Outcomes
and
discussion
points
from
the
meeting
will
be
incorporated
in
an
updated
ISS
report,
to
be
published
in
July
this
year.
