The National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA) is implementing the project in partnership with an Indian-based international firm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This initiative marks a significant step toward modernizing Liberia\u2019s artisanal fisheries and enhancing sustainability through innovative, non-wooden vessels that are durable, environmentally friendly, and better suited for Liberia\u2019s marine environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During a recent visit to the production site, NaFAA Acting Director General\u00a0J. Cyrus Saygbe, Sr., described the fiberglass initiative as a \u201cgame changer\u201d in the nation\u2019s fisheries industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cFiberglass boats production in Liberia is a breakthrough. I\u2019m excited to see this new technology introduced in our fishing space,\u201d said Mr. Saygbe. \u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of getting these boats up and running, and creating a model that allows us to replicate the process across coastal communities. This is remarkable\u2014no wood involved\u2014it\u2019s entirely fiberglass. This technology has the potential to take us a long way and preserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hon. Saygbe emphasized that this is the first of such initiatives in the West African region, positioning Liberia as a leader in sustainable fisheries practices. He expressed sincere gratitude to the World Bank for its support of the transformative project, which he noted aligns with the government\u2019s broader environmental goals, particularly efforts to combat deforestation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWith these vessels being built entirely from fiberglass, it clearly shows that we are committed to protecting our forests. We are introducing modern technology that also contributes to our environmental conservation goals,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Acting Director General further disclosed that NaFAA plans to introduce a new business model to manage and distribute the vessels sustainably. The first phase will see 23 fiberglass boats managed by selected Liberian entrepreneurs, who will ensure proper operation and maintenance. The vessels will be powered by solar energy outboard engines, eliminating reliance on gasoline and lowering operating costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOnce these vessels are proven sustainable and profitable, the entrepreneurs will reinvest in additional boats. These vessels are lightweight, sea-worthy, and this pilot project could eventually expand to the southeastern region based on demand,\u201d Saygbe added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also speaking during the site visit, Atty. Abraham, Dioh, Coordinator of the Liberia Sustainable Management of Fisheries Project, highlighted the environmental benefits of the fiberglass initiative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe production of fiberglass vessels in Liberia will significantly contribute to our national emissions reduction targets. This project aligns with global climate goals and local livelihood improvement,\u201d he stated. He thanked the World Bank for its consistent support and commitment to advancing Liberia\u2019s fisheries sector through sustainable innovations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This historic initiative not only introduces a cleaner and more durable alternative to traditional wooden canoes but also reflects NaFAA\u2019s broader vision to modernize the sector, empower local fishers, and stimulate economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>Source : NaFAA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a groundbreaking milestone for Liberia\u2019s fisheries sector, the
