Abstract

A regional project entitled the Control of Foreign Fishing (CFF), funded by the UK Department of International Development (DFID) under their Fisheries Management Science Programme (FMSP), has been working with the Department of Fisheries in Tanzania to increase local capacity and awareness of economic models to maximise benefits from controlling foreign fishing activity within the EEZ. The key findings of this work, recommendations and general lessons learned from previous case studies are summarised in this brief.
