Fishing companies need to visibly contribute – CSR

FisheriesMinister,DerekKlazensaid duringhisannualaddresstothefishingindustryatWalvisBay,duringthe 2021/2022 fishing season, fishing companies continue to contribute towards Corporate Social Responsibilities(CSR).

Klazen emphasised that Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) is the way for fishing companiestovisiblycontributetothesocietal structure of the communities to make a longlastingandmeaningfullimpactinthelivesof the beneficiaries. “The essence of CSR is for entities to build relationships with communities for the shared good and demonstrate theircommitmentbygivingbacktothepeople for being allowed by Government to exploit marine resources on behalf of the Namibian people.” According to the minister, most of the donations were directed toward educationalprograms,fooddonations,sportsactivities, the construction of classrooms, and

The sector accounted for over 14% of export earningsthatweresourcedfromfishandfisheries products valued at N$10 billion and fisheries' contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 4.5% (NSA, 2022). Fisheries minister, Derek Klazen stated during the period 2021/22, the total marine capture landing for various fisheries was 421,471 MT, translating into an increase of 19 % in catches as compared to the 2020/21fishingseason.

The fishing industry faced a serious impact of

COVID-19duringtheperiodof2020/21which negatively affected the volume of catches. The minister said that a worrying trend of over catching has been observed within the fishing industry “I wish to point out that over-catches shouldbediscontinuedatallcostsasiterodesthe principleofsustainability.”

Hewarnsthosemakingthemselvesguiltyofover catches that they will be visited with punitive force, including but not limited to deducting the over caught quota from successive quota allocations.Theministeralsoalludedthatlikeall othersectors,fishingsectoralsohaditsfairshare of challenges, among the major challenges it is the cost of fuel which had fishing companies digging deeper into their pockets. “Fuel prices represent the second highest expenditure after salaries and wages for most companies in the industry.”

Klazen explained that an increase in fuel prices increased fixed costs such as depreciation and salaries. “Another cost hike to consider is the transportcostofinputtofishproductionaswellas the fish end products to the markets Consequently,thehighproductioncostoffishis

Klazen said that Namibia will have implemented a Blue Economy governance and management system that sustainably maximizes economic benefits from marine resources and ensure equitable marine wealth distribution to all Namibians. “Blue economy activities include fisheries, marine mining, marine energy, marine andcoastaltourism,maritimetransport,andinland waterbodies.” Heexplainedthatduringthecourse oflastyear(2021),theInter-MinisterialTechnical Committee on Blue Economy Committee undertookregionalstakeholderconsultationsinall fourteen regions to seek inputs in Namibia's Sustainable Blue Economy draft Policy “It is expected that the draft Policy will be finalized withinthecurrentfinancialyear(2022/2023).”

Scientists caution against marine phosphate mining

Scientists around the world caution sufficient hard-based scientificinformationisavailabletosaythatmarinemining has no harmful effects and warns no mining should take placeuntilaclearpictureemerges.

This was said by chairman of the Confederation of Namibian Fishing Associations (CNFA), Matti Amukwa at the ministerial address to the fishingindustryonFriday,11NovemberatWalvisBay

CNFAreiterateditsoppositiontomarinephosphatemininginNamibian waters,assertingthatNamibia'svaluablefishingindustrycannotbeused asa'casestudy'toseeifsuchminingisharmfulornot.

Amukwa said the possibility of marine phosphate mining in shallow waters close to the 200-metre contour line, and Namibia's nursery areas for hake monk and horse mackerel, again looms, after Namibia Marine Phosphatereleaseda276-pageEnvironmentalandSocialImpactAssessment (ESIA) suggesting the fishing industry and marine phosphate miningcouldco-exist.

“According to the report, various mitigation measures are, however, needed to ensure a smooth transition and interaction between the industries, and should have been incorporated into the Environmental ManagementPlanoftheproposedprojects.

The276-pagereportthatwasmadeavailabletothepublicalsostatedthat no adverse impacts remain high after mitigation and, therefore, all assessedimpactsarewithinacceptablelimitsandcanbemanagedeffectively “ThebiasESIAisbasedonthesame,weakandsuperficialstudies, slightly updated from the previous EnvironmentalAssessment Report,” Amukwasaid.

According to Amukwa, countries like New Zealand and Mexico have either said no or put on hold prospective marine phosphate mining

projects.“However,thedubiousstudiesproduced for Namibia Marine-Phosphates, carried out by scientists paid for by the mining company find that, in contrast to world opinion, mining for phosphates in Namibian waters carries no dangers to the environment while downplaying the heavy metals such as cadmium and uranium whicharefoundwiththephosphatedeposits.”

Amukwa explained the Namibian Fishing industry employs15478 people directly The SocialAccountingMatrixusedbyeconomistsin Namibia,tellsusthatonejobinthefishingsector supports3,8jobsinothersectorsoftheNamibian economy

“Thismeansthat74293peoplearedependentone way or the other on jobs provided by the fishing industry, and 298 000 people or 11.9% of the Namibian population are directly and indirectly dependent for their income on the fishing sector,”Amukwa stressed and stated Namibia Marine Phosphates in its initial Scoping Report on the land-based operations sets out that it will mine5milliontonsofphosphatebearingsandsto produce three million tons of commercial phosphateutilizingonly135people.

“Itisevidentthatnominingformarinephosphate should take place before independent, hard, scientific evidence is produced. The fishing industry, directly and indirectly, contributes N$66.2billiontotheNamibianGD,Pandistoo

Klazen added that the port town of Walvis Bay remainsanimportantassetforNamibia,sea-linked countries and the Southern African Development Community(SADC),notonlybecauseofitsproximity to SouthernAmerican and other markets, but because of its ability as a logistical hub that offers sea access to countries like Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, to mention a few “It also remains an important maritime and marine servicing centre, given its well-developed infrastructure, skilled manpower and ability to offer quality services and goods.”

Ankerplatz gets new image

Haiyambo Jeremia (32), an aspiring young professional visual artist created a brand-new image forAnkerplatz square in Swakopmund. Jeremia started working on the image, which displays ocean/river waves, about two weeks ago.

Ankerplatz square is situated in the heart of Swakopmundandisoneofthetouristattractionsin town.WoermannBrockcreatedtheveryfirstmallin Swakopmund in 1998 to connect all three banks (StandardBank,BankWindhoek,andFirstNational Bank) with the famous Woermann Haus, Namib Primary School and the ocean. According to Mrs Woermann,unfortunatelytheopeningofWoermann Haus from the back side to relief the entrance into theuniqueinneryardfortouristswasneverrealised back then, therefore in 2000, the Ankerplatz was created with the main pur-pose of combining shoppingwithtouristattractions. Originally,theAnkerplatzdisplayedaboatstranded onabunchofbeachpebbleswithpebblesallaround it. Mrs Woermann said the idea of this image with pebbles originated from Hundertwasser, an wellknownAustralian/ Vienna artist, however over the years it became more and more questionable, mainlybyolderpersonsbecause,forthem,itwasa challengetowalkonthepebbles,althoughtheyare healthy for the feet. Mrs Woermann further said: “We also installed an anchor with a fountain. The idea again came from a German artist based in GoettingenandthepebblesinthebasinwerecollectedbytwoartistsfromSwakopmund,aswellasthe bicycleonthebicyclestand.Finally,thepebbleroad was replacedby a localyoung artistfrom Swakopmund, Jeremia. He worked very hard to create the image of the Swakop River or even the ocean at a sunnyday.”

Jeremia is originally from Ohangwena region, he studiedvisualartsattheCollegeoftheArtsinKatutura,Windhoek.AftergraduatinghemovedtoSwakopmund in search of greener pastures. During an interviewwiththeNamibTimes,Jeremiasaidartis his passion since childhood and a friend of his advisedhimtogotostudy Whenaskedhowhegot

the tender to paintAnkerplatz square, Jeremia said, “thisprojectwasjustasurprise.RecentlyIattended an exhibition, we were painting and doing some artwork and that is how I met Mrs. Woermann, she askedmeifIhadanyartworkthereandifIwasanart painterandthenIsaidyes,Iamapainter Shetoldme sheneedtoshowmesomethingoutside,sowecame out and she showed me this square. She said she wanted me to do something here and we came up withtheideaofpaintingoceanwavestobringlifeto thecentreoftown.”

Jeremia said he wants to encourage fellow visual artistswhohavegivenuporwhowanttoquittoget out of their comfort zone and allow people in the outsideworldtodiscovertheirtalent.“Guyslet'snot justlookforajob,letscreatesomethingandbringto peopletoseeit.Themoreyoupushthemoreyouwill getconnectedtotherightpeople.”

According to MrsWoermann,Ankerplatz will soon have a restaurant and wine bar She said this very unique place with a pizza oven, a herb garden, a historicin-room-seatingwithitsspecialwinebarand a more country-like-outer-seating is hoped to open its doors to the public during the first week of December should everything go according to plan.

VMS upgraded

The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources has upgraded its Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) to incor porate a Vessel Automatic Identification System (AIS) as Themis RadarImagery forthe identification of vessels that switchtheirAISoff.

AccordingtotheFisheries Minister, Honor able Derek Klazen, his ministry has put these measures in place to ensure that Illegal, Unreported, and Un regulated(IUU)fishing activities are prevented and eliminated within our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and to further improve the Ministry's capacity in itsfightagainstIUU.

He explained that the ministry has further changed the VMS reporting frequency from two-hour intervals that cameintoeffectinJune 2021 to hourly inter vals, effective from 1 November “By doing so, Namibia is in line with many countries, and Regional Fisheries Management Organi sation has done the same.Itisworthnoting that, the Ministry ratified the FAO Port State MeasuresAgreementin 2017,andasaPortState will continue the fight against IUU fishing vessels calling on our ports, including those who are supporting such vessels, Kla-zen said and added,“the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) is another conservation measure that reduces the chances of IUU fishing.”

Klazen stated that his ministrytakesitsactivities of patrolling the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) seriously “Therefore, I am happy to inform you that the level of compliance with national fisheries legislations by licensed fishing vessels is at an acceptablelevel.

Moreover, the ministry would like to highlight that detection of IUU fishing vessels during 2021/2022 improved in part because of joint patrol efforts with relevant law enforcement agencies and international partners,” Klazen explained. He added that their efforts will continue around the clock to apprehend IUU fishing vessels, including fishing vesselswhotrytoenterour EEZ without the required authorization. “The goal is to protect and enforce the fisheries legislations both on capture fisheries and inlandfisheries.”

Klazen commends and thanks those who acted as whistleblowers by particularlyalertingour law enforcement Officers on IUU fishing vessels that were sigh-

ted fishing around the northern maritime border as well as vessels fishing within the restricted 200depthzone.“Theministry would like to caution those that are dismissing

Namibian crew members on their vessel, who reported those that conduct illegal fishing activities and contravene fisheries legislations,” Klazensaid.

Currently there are at Least 27 live conflicts, classified as Wars, according to the Council on Foreign Relations's Global Conflict Tracker Of those worsening are the conflict in Ukraine, the war inAfghanistan, political instability in Lebanon, the war in Yemen, the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar, the conflict in Ethiopia and renewed warthatbrokeoutthisweekintheDRC.

The sad reality of these wars are the fact that 2 Billion people currently live in conflict-affected areas. A quarter of the entire global population lives in conflict-affected areas. This year, it is estimated that at least 274 million people will needhumanitarianassistance.

In the Ukraine the latest estimates of war casualtiesare200000soldiersonbothsidesofthe conflict. General Mark Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, also suggested that around 40,000 civilians had died after being caughtupintheconflictandRussiaiscontinuing its campaign of terror attacks on Ukraine as it targets civilian infrastructure never before seen duringarmedcon-flictsintheworld.

Asof5Maythisyear,morethan5.5millionUkranians had fled the country, seeking refuge predominantlyinPoland,butalsoinHungary,Slovakia, andotherEuropeancountries.

Battle deaths, after all, tell just a fraction of the story Yemen's conflict kills more people, mostly women and young children, due to starvation or preventable disease than violence. Millions of Ethiopianssufferacutefoodinsecuritybecauseof the country's civil war Fighting involving Islamists elsewhere in Africa often doesn't entail thousands of deaths but drives millions of people from their homes and causes humanitarian devastation.

The world only recently moved out of the dark shadows of the COVID-19 pandemic which has exacerbatedtheworld'sworsthumanitariandisasters and propelled the impoverishment, rising living costs, inequality, and joblessness that fuel popular anger Thus the pandemic's worst symptomsmayyetlieahead.

Therefore, it is very important that we continue withourproudtraditiontocommemoratetheWar Dead, not only of our own comrades, but also the bravesoldiersontheopposingsideofthetrenches and in battle.This is our national duty and oppor tunitytorememberandcommemorateinaformal and solemn way the service and sacrifice of all thosethathavedefendedourfreedomsandprotectedourwayoflife.

OnthisdayweRemember,butwealsogrieveand honourthosewhohaddied,thosewhowerewounded and those who remained behind to cope with thedeathsoftheirlovedones.

We honor the deceased, acknowledging that they hadnotsacrificedthemselvesinvainbutforinstitutionsandvaluessuchascountry,God,freedom, justiceandhumanity

In the past and even in some countries today, Remembrance Day is also used to protest against war in general. Some mourners and veterans refused to attend official comme-morations. In doing so, they showcased their anger at the statesanctioned carnage that the first world war had been.

War and strife around the world shall always remainoneofthefailuresofourhumanity

Butnothingcanstopusfrompray-ingforthedawn ofworldpeace,alastingpeace.
