Fisheries Rehabilitation in Post tsunami Aceh: Issues and Recommendations from a National Consultative Workshop

摘要

The fisheries sector in Indonesia was heavily affected by the 26 December 2004 tsunami. About 9083 fishers were killed in the 18 districts affected, along with more than 45 government fisheries staff. Fisheries and aquaculture have been the sectors most severely hit by the disaster with large numbers of boats, fishing gear, ponds and support installations either lost or damaged. The response to the tsunami disaster has been diverse, with both private and donor contributions to the relief effort. There have been a variety of interventions in the fisheries sector, ranging from the repair of boats and replacement of lost equipment, to reconstruction of aquaculture ponds. This article reports on the results of the national stakeholder consultation workshop organized as part of the WorldFish Project, Fisheries Rehabilitation in Tsunami-Affected Indonesia: Community needs Assessment and Resource Status, detailed in the previous article.
