In terms of the Smallscale Fisheries (SSF) Policy, it was reported that no targets were set for 2015 and the target for smallscale fishing rights that was set for June 2014 was not met. The Department reported that it hopes to implement the SSF Policy by the end of 2015, which will coincide with the end of the existing fishing rights period. The Department reported that they are working with the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) on building the capacity of fisheries cooperatives on governance. It was further mentioned that the fishing rights allocation process (FRAP) is being addressed and the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries will make a pronouncement on the matter soon.
