Abstract

This article looks at the importance of fisheries in Uganda on one hand, the reducing trend of fisheries revenue and catch volumes on the other hand as well as the various measures taken to revive the fisheries sector over the years. It argues that although restoring fisheries and ensuring the sustainability of fisheries resources is paramount, this should not be done while grossly violating human rights and depriving poor people of their sole source of livelihood. There is need to manage fisheries in a more holistic manner.
