Written by Administrator Thursday, 04 October 2012 10:45
Andrew Johnston from the Artisanal Fishers Association shared his country experiences from the Republic of South Africa during the International Conference on
Fisheries and Globalization in Iloilo, Philippines (19 – 21 September 2012).
South Africa is a very picturesque and beautiful country, blessed with a rich diversity of natural resources, in particular marine resources. Our coast line has three zones: in the East coast (Indian ocean) the mighty Agulhas current brings warm waters; on the West coast (Atlantic ocean) the Benquela current brings cold waters; and in the South a temperate zone which contains high proportion of species unique to South Africa.
