Description: Recognising the benefits of global trade, many of the world's developing countries and countries with economies in transition, have sought to actively participate in the global trading regime. Recently, however, the undesirable effect of environmental degradation has emerged as a result of rapid increase in trade. This case study on Uganda's fisheries sector is one of a series of United Nations Environment Programme publications that discusses the country's experience with the environmental impacts of trade liberalisation on their natural and environmental resources. It also presents innovative strategies to address negative impacts and strengthen positive ones. Other country studies available are: on Bangladesh's Shrimp farming industry; Chile's mining sector; the Philippines' forestry sector; Romania's water sector and the automotive industry in India.
