The @sadcmcscc was established to protect SADC's marine & inland #fisheries. For @MwNatresources Minister, it should not be a surprise that Malawi signed the MCSCC Charter. “Lake Malawi is part of our life. We are committed to any protocol that makes us improve MCS of the lake”.

Pivotal MCS training continues in Lilongwe, Malawi, for SADC inland countries to boost monitoring, optimize MCS tools, & enhance engagement with MCSCC in Maputo as part of AfDB-funded PROFISHBLUE Project by SADC Secretariat. #Fisheries #BlueEconomy #SADC

IUU fishing threatens marine sustainability in the SADC region, undermining fisheries management, causing overfishing, and depleting fish stocks crucial for food and livelihoods. It also disrupts local economies, endangers species, and harms ecosystems. Action is essential now.

Today in Maputo started the 2nd meeting of the @SADC_News #MCSCC Task Force. “The Task Force is here to ensure that operations of the MCSCC are implemented ” said SADC fisheries advisor Motseki Hlatshwayo, recalling how far SADC has already come in terms of MCS.

SADCMCSCC kicks off its Second Operational Task Force Meeting in Maputo. Stakeholders will discuss fishing vessel requirements and the Regional Register of Fishing Vessels. Outcomes include survey results and income estimates to enhance sustainable fisheries management. #stopiuu
