The Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism is hosting the first
ever national Summit on Subsistence and Small-scale Fisheries in South Africa
on 1 and 2 November 2007, at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port
Elizabeth.
The Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism will tomorrow at the
summit in Port Elizabeth announce detail regarding the far reaching
interventions the department will be making in the marine aquaculture industry.
The department published two draft policies on Subsistence and Small-scale
Fisheries last year and embarked on a consultative process to elicit comments
on these polices. It was felt that we need a more structured and intimate
engagement with our communities, hence this Summit.
