    Impact:

    The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries,

    Branch Fisheries has identified a number of aquaculture

    projects that aim to empower coastal communities through

    transfer of technology, skills development and job creation.

    The projects are expected to contribute to the development of

    economy activities within inland and coastal communities,

    particularly those that that has been affected by the decline in

    the capture fisheries. Hamburg (Eastern Cape) has been

    identified as specific locations where intervention is required

    due to loss of jobs from closure of the oyster farm and the

    potential of the area for aquaculture.

    The oyster farm will have the capacity to produce over 70 tons of oysters per annum.

    The holding facility will hold oysters collected from the oyster racks and from oysters collected from the wild

    by subsistence oyster fishers.

    A dusky kob pilot project has been established on the 2 hectare site and will have the capacity to produce

    10 tons of kob per annum.

    An Environmental Impact Assessment has been conducted on the site to determine the suitability of

    the site for the implementation of a 1000 tons dusky

    kob farm

    abalone hatchery. The farm buys in abalone spat from a

    developed abalone farm (Abagold (Pty) Ltd) and grows the

    animals out to a size of 80-100g, which are then sent to

    Abagold (Pty) Ltd for processing and marketing of the

    product. In 2014 the farm harvested approximately

    1360.29kg, however the farm has the capacity to produce 30

    tons of abalone. In 2015, a decision was taken to expand the

    farm due to the high demand of abalone in the market. The

    objective of the expansion is to increase the carrying capacity

    of the farm from 30 tons to 100 tons of abalone over the next

    two years.
