The Importance of Wild Fisheries For Local Food Security: Liberia
Fish provide approximately 15% of the country’s animal protein supply. Per capita fish consumption in Liberia is among the lowest in the region. The civil war severely reduced Liberia’s capacity to manage natural resources and damaged fisheries infrastructure. Recent research suggests that Liberian fisheries can significantly contribute to sustainably providing the country’s needs for animal protein if key issues related to local capacity, governance, and infrastructure are addressed.
