Abstract
Fishery resources are a vital source of food and make valuable economic contributions to the local
communities in Zanzibar. Irrespective of the increase of the total catch being currently reported, there
is a sign of decline in catch per unit effort due to increasing number of fishers, vessels, gears, and fish
demand resulting from increasing population and tourists. Also human and environmental factors such
as pollution, illegal fishing and climate change contribute to the imbalance of the catch-ability of the
fisheries resources contributing to the negative impact to livelihood support. Improved management
strategy for these resources is recommended for improving livelihoods and the sustainability of the fishery
resource.support, and improvement of local business prominence for consideration for the transition
