This project will promote economic models, previously developed by Marine Resources Assessment Group (MRAG), to increase local capacity within national agencies and increase national, regional and international awareness for maximising benefits from foreign access and developing efficient MCS strategies for the control of foreign fisheries in East Africa. The project is currently working with the Fisheries Departments of Tanzania and Kenya.

The project will result in the following outputs:

• An MS Excel spreadsheet game of the CFF economic model to increase national, regional and international awareness for maximising economic benefits through licensing foreign fishing activities.
• Confidential national reports generated from each case study, providing recommendations to Tanzania and Kenya for improving economic benefits derived from licensing foreign fishing activity.
• Policy briefs to target key national stakeholders with specific recommendations from CFF case studies.
• Increased local capacity within Tanzania and Kenya to develop alternative, more effective MSC strategies to maximise the benefits and regulate foreign fishing activities.
• Review of economic models used to maximise benefits from the control of foreign fishing.
• Synthesis document of the generic lessons learned from all case studies developed using the CFF economic model.
