Introduction: The disaster risk scenario for the Maldives can be described as moderate in general. Despite this, the Maldives was among the most severely affected countries hit by the Asian Tsunami on December 26th 2004. The Maldives experiences moderate risk conditions owing to a low probability of hazard occurrence and high vulnerability from exposure due to geographical, topographical and socio-economic factors.

  • Biosocioeconomic Assessment of the Effects of Fish Aggregating Devices in the Tuna Fishery in the Maldives
    Bay of Bengal Programme BOBP/WP/95 Small-scale Fisherfolk Communities GCP/RAS/1 18/MUL Bioeconomics of Small-scale Fisheries RAS/91/006 Biosocioeconomic assessment of the effects of fish aggregating devices in the tuna fishery in the Maldives by Ali Naeem A Latheefa Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture Male, Maldives BAY OF BENGAL PROGRAMME Madras, India 1994 Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) have proved very successful in the Maldives, where there is a countrywide FAD installation programme by the Ministry of Fish- eries and Agriculture (MOFA) underway. The main reason for the success of FADs in the Maldives is their applicability to the existing fisheries. With the motorization of the fishing fleet, the efficiency and range of operation of the fleet has increased. FADs help not only to reduce searching time and fuel costs, but they also consider- ably increase production. Although the aggregation of fish around FADs has been demonstrated successfully, and the merits of FAD-fishing proven, data on the cost-effectiveness of FADs are still lacking. MOFA, with the assistance of the Bay of Bengal Programme’s (BOBP) regional ‘Bioeconomics’ project (RAS/91/006), therefore, undertook to assess and quantify the impact of FADs in tuna fishing. The project installed two FADs in two separate areas in the Maldives and closely studied the biological, economic and sociological effects of them on the fisheries and on the island communities in the two areas. The effectiveness of the two FADs was measured by comparing data collected one year before and one year after their installation. The results of the study are presented in this paper.
