The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources has been advised to consider a gradual reduction of fishing quota allocations over the coming years to align with scientists' recommendations. 

This was one of the outcomes of the 19th Cabinet decisions announced on Thursday.

Employees of Etosha Fishing Company at Walvis Bay have reiterated their request for an increased fishing quota allocation.

The workers say 480 of them received retrenchment letters in March because the company does not have quotas to employ them.
