SADSTIA REPORT ON FISHING RIGHTS DURATION

The South African Deep Sea Trawl Industry Association ("SADSTIA") has published an incredibly important report that should certainly guide the significant revision of the MLRA, which is now at least a decade over due.  The SADSTIA report correctly hones on the issue of the duration of fishing rights. Fishing right duration and the increasing collapse in the confidence of any fishing allocation process will increasingly deter any meaningful stabilization of the moribund SA fishing industry - let alone spur any growth or significant investment.  What we have seen since the 2016 rights allocation process is a significant erosion in the confidence of these processes & the allocation of rights especially since we have repeatedly seen -  (a) consistent findings of unlawfulness by the high court setting aside hundreds of fishing rights; & (b) the minister repeatedly self-reviewing decisions setting aside wholesale allocations 5/6 years into a rights allocation period....

Fisheries Department to get a New Minister

That is correct! South Africa's department for forestry, fisheries and the environment (www.environment.gov.za) will get its third new fisheries minister since South Africa's leading opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, joined the national government after the May 2024 General Elections.  The DA National Leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis, has requested that the SA President move the current fisheries minister to the Agriculture Department and appoint the current Western Cape Provincial Minister responsible for Education, David Maynier , to the position of Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment.  Having previously served as Minister of Finance in the Western Cape Province, Maynier will understand the importance of the South African fishing industry and its socio-economic contributions to the Western Cape's urban and rural economies and why fixing fisheries and growing it is not only crucial to the Western Cape but South Africa's broader economy, which contin...

The Fisheries Minister's Small Pelagic Review Application

Following steadfastly in the shoes of the ruinous ANC Minister of Fisheries, the DA's latest fisheries Minister, Willie Aucamp, has filed a self-review application in the small pelagic fishery 5 months after Dion George first said he would do so.  The self-review application seeks to farcically turn the fishing rights allocation clock in this fishery all the way back to January 2022. It effectively seeks to pretend that -  1.     fishing rights were never allocated to some 160 companies that target pilchards and anchovies; 2.     dozens of rights were allocated to new entrant applicants who today are no longer "new entrants" and these businesses have over the past 4 years invested; employed; have incurred long term loans and debt BASED ON THE FACT THAT RIGHTS were allocated to them for 15 years in 2022. It is truly incomprehensible how self-defeating this DA-led fisheries ministry is.  We will be advising our clients on how best to approach this self-r...
