How We Do This

TuFAK does its work which can be best described through the following:

  • Enhancing the voices, opinions and stands of the alliance, so that they will be heard and listened to by relevant actors in the tuna fisheries sector in Kenya and the region (interface function).
  • Actively search for, and seize opportunities to further the cause of the civil society organizations/private sector (advocacy).
  • Informing members and partners on related developments in the local and regional arena (antenna function).

The objectives to address the issues affecting the tuna fisheries subsector in Kenya are as follows;

  • Inadequate enforcement capacity in the management of tuna and protection from unsustainable exploitation mainly by the Distant Water Fishing Nations (DWFNs) due to limited capacity in monitoring and surveillance, increased incidences of Illegal, Unreported and Undeclared (IUU) fishing..
  • Low economic benefits from tuna fisheries; Tuna fisheries have the capacity to generate significant economic benefits to the country and local coastal communities. However, enough efforts are not made to address the value chain bottlenecks such as local fleet development, supporting infrastructure and services, incentives, and favorable market access regime.
  • Legal and policy framework: A number of governance challenges confront sustainable management of fisheries resources in Kenya, including inadequacies in the areas of research and development, data collection, information dissemination, and implementation of statutory requirements. While the current fisheries laws and policy provide for the development of fishery management measures, several binding regional resolutions governing tuna fisheries management have not been domesticated to have legal effect under the local jurisdiction. Stakeholder Participation; There is limited engagement and participation of stakeholders in the management and development of tuna fisheries
