Okavango Delta gets code of conduct for responsible fishing

The Okavango Fisheries Management Committee (OFMC), in collaboration with the Department of Wildlife and National Parks, Fisheries division and the BIOKAVANGO project, will launch a code of conduct for responsible fishing in the Okavango Delta Panhandle

The initiative is part of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) support to biodiversity conservation in Botswana through the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The event will be held at the delta village of Samochima where about 400 commercial fishermen ply their trade in the waters of the Okavango Delta, one of Botswana's premier tourist attractions.
