Oyetola added that the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy remains steadfast in its commitment to implementing science-based fisheries management measures that ensure the long-term health and productivity of the fish stocks in Nigerian waters, as well as ensuring best practices in aquaculture operations.

Aside from promoting sustainable fishing practices, Oyetola emphasised that the policy will ensure best practices in aquaculture operations, including measures such as enforcing catch limits, promoting seasonal fishing, and protecting vital habitats.

He also reiterated the ministry’s commitment in tackling illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, implementing science-based fisheries management measures that ensure the long-term health and productivity of the fish stocks in Nigerian waters, as well as ensuring best practices in aquaculture operations.

“This commitment includes enforcing catch limits, encouraging, promoting and enforcing seasonal fishing, protecting critical habitats and taking decisive action against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities,” he said.

The minister expressed optimism that the policy will also position Nigeria as a key player in aquaculture production by advocating for the adoption of modern practices, improving access to financing and markets for aquaculture farmers, and fostering innovation in aquaculture research and development.
