Fish stocks are declining, challenging the government's plan to employ former fishermen at sea.

The Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Derek Klazen, has commended the achievements made by the Namibia Fish Consumption Promotion Trust (NFCPT) at Ondangwa, calling on the Katima Mulilo Town Council and the City of Windhoek to provide suitable land to construct retail fish shops.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources says that the devastating increase in brown fur seals currently threatens the existence of fish stocks.

Rundu residents are at risk of eating contaminated freshwater fish after it was discovered that some of them are fishing in and selling fish they caught from the sewerage water.

nbc News has learned that some of the residents have been catching fish in the sewerage water at the Kaisosi settlement.

The increase in the number of seals in the population threatens the fish species in the Namibian waters, hence the need to control them.

A book that aims to promote Namibia's natural, nourishing food was launched in Windhoek. 

The cookbook will serve as an easy guide on how to diversify one's diet by using locally available ingredients and cooking equipment. 

The Namibia Fish Consumption Promotion Trust (NFCPT) is embarking on a project that will increase accessibility to fish distribution centres around the country.

The implementation of this project will cost N$807 000. 

Currently, NFCPT operates 18 fish shops in 17 towns across the country.

Consuming fish can increase protein intake and promote a healthy lifestyle. However, many landlocked communities in Namibia find it difficult to access fish.
