Somalia Fishing

Schools to each people about fishing before war:

Systematic training and skills development for the fisheries sector was non-existent until 1954 when the Italian Trusteeship Administration (Amministrazione Fiduciaria Italiana della Somalia โ€” AFIS) established the first Fisheries and Maritime Professional School (Scuola Professionale Marittima e di Pesca) in Mogadishu.56 The school, which provided an intermediate level of education, was intended to train skilled workers for the maritime and fisheries sectors. It functioned through the mid-1960s but was closed for unknown reasons. It remained closed for several years and was only reopened in 1971, two years after Siyad Barre took power, under a new name (the Maritime and Fisheries Institute) with an upgraded status as a technical secondary school. Like all other technical schools at the time, the institute initially relied on the services of foreign teachers as there were not many Somalis in the country who were qualified to teach maritime and fisheries subjects. In order to rectify this problem, in 1976 the government established the Technical and Commercial Teachers College to train teachers for three groups of schools, namely the Maritime and Fisheries Institute, the Mogadishu and Burao Technical Schools (Polytechnics) and the Sheikh Yusuf Al-Kowneyn Commercial Secondary School in Mogadishu. In the 1980s, another maritime and fisheries institute was established in Barawe to cater for the skills needs of the fishing communities in the Lower Shabelle region and surrounding areas. The Technical and Commercial Teachers College had three departments, one of which offered maritime and fisheries education. The Maritime and Fisheries Department offered three bachelor of science (BSc) degree programs, in fisheries studies, nautical studies and marine engineering. The two institutes and the college were together able to produce a sufficient number of job-ready graduates, allowing the country to become self-reliant within several years when it came to the skills needs of the maritime and fisheries sectors.
 
somaliland seems to be doing very well considering the nation doesnt get any outside funds
They get share of aid we get, they also even get certain aid directly with foreign governments dealing with their government. They put money to good use and aren't as corrupt as us easier to get aid that way
 
Schools today teaching next generation of fishing expert hopefully they are being supported with jobs and opportunitites

i personally think outside investment partnering with a locals can produce fruitful win win situation for all parties involved
Exactly. As long as they invest in country, provide jobs and training it will be win win. We also used to have boat building capabilities in past should partner with those still around to provide boats and not flood marker with free aid boats which put many of them out of business in 70-80s

Capturing fish is more cheaper and better
But we also have to consider the potential damaging of the sealife environment thus i would prefer the use of both with fish farming more and as for the natural way we should make proper licenses for the fishermen and ensure that they use proper materials and equipment where we can fish safely and not damage the marine life.

farming is more toxic, and a place where infections has more chance than in the open sea.

I was thinking if a small fishing boat cost a couple thousand dollars to purchase. What if you buy a couple rent to it to fishermen at a good price and take a small tax on the income of the fish purchases.

Now when you make enough money from the business buy more boats to scale the operation.

After a while when you have atleast 10+ workers.

Scale your income revenue and purchase a big fishing boat to outcompete the other fishermen.

Now either scale the operation further by increasing your big boats

Or

Start to make your own fish preparation facilities where your own fisherman exclusively send their own catches to.

You prepare the meat and send it off to local and regional markets/restaurants.

Even corner the market on ice production for the sake of it.

Now you can scale the operations by creating more facilities

Or

You can create your own restaurant chain where you get the most exclusive and best meat you catch.

This will take a lifetime work but you would capture the whole fish industry of somalia.

With a bit of lobbying power you would stay on top.
