    "content": "sometimes indiscriminately, because we do not have the capacity to get to where they do fishing. I am glad that this has also been addressed here. There is also the issue of marketing. It is one issue getting the fish and processing it, but it is another to ensure that we have markets for it, so that our fishermen can get income and contribute to their livelihoods and the economic development of the nation. I support. It is a very important and welcome opportunity for us to regulate and ensure that the people who rely on fish as a source of livelihood get it not just in the waters but even internally where we have fishing in hinterland; where people do a lot of fish-farming, they should be encouraged to do well. That is also a growth area and we know statistics favour that. We should be encouraging it. What is important is focus on fishing in protected areas. As you know, we have marine areas--- We do not want those areas to be exposed to fishing, as this will spoil these marine areas, which are important as tourist attraction sites. That has been protected here. Lastly, as I wind up, we have heard here that county governments have a function in terms of fisheries. We do not want conflicts because they may also have a say in this. We have to ensure that at another stage, the laws are fine-tuned, so that there is no conflict and we can work together to ensure that the fish industry is supported well, so that our people who rely on fisheries as a source of livelihood are empowered accordingly."
