The SWIOFISH team, through the Department of the Blue Economy, handed over a new surveillance vessel, named the Surveillance 2, to the Seychelles Fisheries Authority. This was during a short ceremony held at the Artisanal Fishing Port.
The acquisition of the vessel is part of the implementation of the Third South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Governance and Shared Growth Project, known as the SWIOFish3 project, which has been completed successfully.
The Surveillance 2, valued at $920,000, will play a vital role in monitoring and enforcing permissible fishing activities. It has been designated specifically for monitoring, control, and surveillance of the Mahe Plateau.
