    "content": " Thanks, Chair. I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended in the proposed amendments to the Fisheries Management and Development Act No. 35 of 2016- (a) in section 2 by inserting the words “or commercial” immediately after the words “for subsistence” appearing in the definition of the term “artisanal fishing”. If you look at the proposal, you will find that it deletes the word ‘commercial’ in the phrase ‘artisanal fishing’. Through this, I am seeking to protect small-scale fish farmers from stringent rules and licences, so that if you are doing fishing but in a small- scale you should not be subjected to too many rules. Yes, there are people who will be fishing for subsistence but then they might sell six pieces of fish. So we should not put them under too many stringent rules. Again, what we should have done is to harmonise the definition between artisanal and subsistence fisheries."
