What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Employees of the Fisheries Observer Agency are planning a peaceful demonstration regarding the agency's funding model, which has remained the same for 12 years since 2014. The Namibia Public Workers Union notified FOA chief executive Stanley Ndara of the planned protest. Workers stated the current situation is unsustainable and plan to hand over a petition to the minister of agriculture, water, fisheries and land reform.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Stanley Ndara previously urged the government to provide more funding to increase the number of fisheries observers deployed on fishing vessels. He noted that 117 observers monitor about 230 licensed fishing vessels, making it difficult to monitor fishing activities and collect accurate information about fish stocks.

The event relates to calls for government transparency in the fishing industry and the management of Namibia's national fisheries sector.
