Ban to protect penguins will destroy local
industry, says fishing association
The Eastern and Southern Cape Pelagic Association (ESPA) has warned a fishing ban, which will
be in place around Bird and St Croix islands in Nelson Mandela Bay for the next 10 years, will
destroy the local industry.
Forestry, Fisheries and Environment Minister Barbara Creecy announced the ban on Friday.
This followed the release of a report by an international panel of experts who had to determine the
impact of fishing bans on the declining African penguin population.
The association's chairperson, Mohammed Riedau de Maine, said the fishing industry had been
tasked with reaching a compromise with environmental organisations regarding the type of fishing
limitations to be implemented.
Creecy said fishing bans would be implemented in waters around key penguin colonies for
a minimum of 10 years with a review after six years of implementation and data collection.
The ban is aimed at sardine and anchovy fishing.
The affected areas are St Croix Island, home to the world's largest African penguin colony and Bird
Island in Nelson Mandela Bay, as well as Dassen Island, Robben Island, Stony Point and Dyer
Island.
Creecy said competition for food was thought to be one among a set of pressures contributing to
the decline of the African penguin population.
"Other pressures include ship traffic together with their associated noise and vibrations, pollution
and degradation of suitable nesting habitats.
