** #7 Bringing back fishing at Aswan’s Lake Nasser: Fisheries in Lake Nasser in Aswan have seen their yields drop significantly over the past few years due to bad practices and lack of regulation, according to WorldFish (watch, runtime: 7:42). Lake Nasser, the second largest in Africa, used to record annual production levels of c. 34,500 tonnes until 1981. Today, production barely exceeds 15,000 tonnes and most of the fish caught are not fully-grown. This, alongside persistent youth unemployment in tourism-reliant Aswan, has added to its economic struggle. In 2015, a team of researchers at WorldFish conducted a study of the lake’s fish population, distribution, and species, and laid down a framework to manage its resources. The General Authority for Fish Resources has since been applying seasonal bans to protect the fish in their spawning periods, providing training to fishermen, and encouraging low-cost processing technologies and sound fishing methods.
