Abstract
This report is prepared with the
objective of conducting a rapid diagnosis of the fisheries
sector and establishing an overview of it in the Gaza Strip
(GS). The fisheries and aquaculture sector in the GS have
many challenges, including institutional structure, movement
constraints of people and goods, degraded infrastructure,
and deteriorating vessels. Despite various challenges, the
sector has some promising characteristics. These include:
(i) a relatively well-organized fishing industry, (ii)
existing and emerging entrepreneurship in aquaculture, and
(iii) a local knowledge base within the academic community
in the GS. A rapid diagnosis and understanding of the
current state of the fisheries sector is a first step
towards potential future engagement. The fishery performance
indicators (FPIs) were selected as the rapid sector
assessment instrument for economic, community, and
ecological outcomes of fisheries. The FPIs have been applied
to different fisheries in different countries. In this
report, the instrument was applied to overall fisheries, as
opposed to specific fisheries, in the GS. As a prerequisite
to applying FPI scoring, a descriptive fishery profile was developed.
