The Tripoli based Libyan Ministry of Economy and Trade organised a workshop Thursday on developing the marine wealth sector (fisheries) and its role in achieving economic diversification.

Led by the Ministry’s Undersecretary for Commercial Affairs, Suhail Abu Shiha, several relevant department heads, and representatives from the Marine Biology Research Centre, and the African Development Bank, participated.

The workshop participants followed a visual presentation on the methodology used to prepare the sectoral development policy, the networking mechanism with relevant sectors, and the projects targeted for the development of the marine wealth sector, which are based on:

  • Preparing the infrastructure through the maintenance and development of fishing ports
  • Supporting the Marine Biology Research Centre
  • Developing educational curricula in technical institutes
  • Establishing fishing net factories
  • Establishing fish farms
  • Qualifying national cadres

Economic diversification plan
During the workshop, the Undersecretary revealed that his Ministry of Economy and Trade is working on an economic diversification plan based on developing sectoral policies in coordination with relevant ministries and bodies, stressing the need to begin executive steps to develop a marine fishing port so that it becomes a model to be implemented.

Strengthening of the role of the private sector
It was also revealed that the Minister of Economy and Trade directed the strengthening of the role of the private sector in implementing investment projects in the marine wealth sector through the Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture and the Libyan Business Council (LBC).
