Namibia is building a blue economy — turning fish waste into high-value products like oil
Losses occur at sea from primary processing of the catch and on land from processing in factories. Much of this can go toward production of fishmeal or fish oil.nd increased the market value of the fishery to around $500. Fish by-product innovation is gaining traction in many other coastal countries, such as in Kenya, where there is development of the fish leather industry, and other regional Ocean Clusters within Iceland’s network.
The Namibia Ocean Cluster is in the process of joining this network as the seafood industry collaboratively explores ways to optimize the utilization of post-harvest seafood losses and maximize the socioeconomic benefits derived from the country’s marine capture fisheries.
