Abstract
This report is part of a suite of reports that describe the fishing activities and socio-economic conditions pertaining to artisanal and informal fishing sectors along the coastal component of the Benguela Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME). This report relates particularly to the Angolan artisanal fisheries sector. The Republic of Angola is the northern most of the BCLME countries and mainly the southern part of the country is directly affected by the Benguela current, although high levels of productivity are maintained along the entire coastline in response to oceanographic
events related to the presence of the current and its interaction with the warm Angola current. Industrial and artisanal fishing activities take place along the entire length of the 1 650 km coastline
