  • A Socio-Economic Assessment of the Tuna Fisheries in the Maldives
    Technical Report No. 5 A SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF THE TUNA FISHERIES IN THE MALDIVES Thomas Hohne-Sparborth Contributing Authors: M.Shiham Adam & Adam Ziyad I come from a long line of pole-and-line fishermen; it’s in my blood. For as long as I can remember, I have never wanted to do anything else. Abdulla Shaan, Maldivian fisherman A SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF THE TUNA FISHERIES IN THE MALDIVES Thomas Hohne-Sparborth Contributing authors: M.Shiham Adam & Adam Ziyad This report presents an analysis of the role of the pole-and-line fishery of the Maldives as a social and economic policy, as opposed to a purely ecological one. The study explores how government policies have helped shape the fishery and have impacted on the vulnerability, adaptability and livelihood assets of the local population. The sector is heavily exposed to trends on the world market, and the economic potential of the fisheries remains underutilised. However, the pole-and-line fishery has served to create an accessible and equitable form of employment to a large, and otherwise isolated, part of the population, and benefits from the fishery are spread through the economy through consumer spending, saving and re-investment, including in education. The field work for this Technical Report was conducted in April-May 2013. ORGANISATIONAL PROFILES International Pole & Line Foundation (IPNLF) The International Pole & Line Foundation (IPNLF) works to develop, support and promote socially and environmentally respon- sible pole-and-line and hand-line tuna fisheries around the world. IPNLF’s ambition is to contribute to thriving coastal fisheries, including the people, communities, businesses and seas connected with them.
