"Apart from tropical fruit and vegetable cultivation, the northern province and Juba province boast a coastline stretching over 1,300 kilometers, yet our use of fishery resources in the economy accounts for less than one percent. This is a tremendous waste, and the development of fishery resources should be prioritized," said Roman Karin, governor of the northern province, to the mayor of Mogadishu.
Developing Somali maritime fishery resources has always been a matter close to Roman Karin's heart. Being from the small coastal city of Monfalcone in Austria, he has a strong affinity for the sea.
The mayor of Mogadishu, Clarnis, also agreed on this point. Originally, Mogadishu was a comprehensive port in East Africa, with fisheries being a major economic source. However, in recent years, more resources at the Port of Mogadishu have been used for foreign trade vessels.
