The Impact of Fishing on South Africa’s Economy and Communities

South Africa boasts the highest fishing population density in Africa, with 81 people per square kilometer, compared to the continent's average of 55. Fishing is not only a popular pastime but also a crucial coastal activity, contributing R2 billion to the national economy. It directly employs 28,000 individuals, with an additional 60,000 in related sectors like boat manufacturing and equipment supply. Additionally, around 30,000 subsistence fishers in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape rely on fishing for their protein needs while aquaculture plays a vital role in sustaining fish populations.
