Case Study
How Tanzania’s EEZ is being exploited
Tanzania has an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of over 45 million football fields. Without its own industrial fishing fleet, Tanzania relies on the $1.3 million generated from foreign vessels. With the considerable challenges of policing the large area of the EEZ, Tanzania loses millions of dollars a year to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
Who is this impacting
Fishing industries
Overfishing causes legit fishing businesses lose over $10m to illegal competition, endangering livelihoods of thousands of fishermen.
Marine ecosystem
Many endangered species are caught and sold. Harming the balance in the sea & jeopardizing the sustainability of fisheries.
Governments
Face substantial financial losses and security threats (trafficking, illegal weapons) & struggle to regulate their vast EEZs effectively
