President Jacob Zuma has signed a proclamation bringing into operation the Marine Living Resources Amendment Act, 2014 (the Act). The Act was signed into law on 14 May 2014.
The implementation of this Act is very important for the small scale fishers.
Its predecessor, The Marine Living Resources Act, 1998 (Act No 18 of 1998) did not recognise small scale fishers or small scale fishing activities and as a result small-scale fishers were marginalised through the allocation of fishing rights.
