Each GLOBEFISH country profile will share valuable information such as: GDP from fisheries, Imports and Exports of fish and fishery profiles, production and trade breakdown, top species by value for exports/imports, HS codes, and more. -
FactsheetEmergency Assistance to Reduce Impacts and Build Resilience in the Fisheries Sector Caused by Cyclone Tino and COVID-19 on Tuvalu - TCP/TUV/3801 2024

No results found.The islands of Tuvalu are all low-lying atolls. This has a significant effect on the country’s fishing activities, with subsistence activities dominating the country’s small-scale fisheries sector. A wide variety of techniques are used to catch fish and other marine resources, which are consumed, shared or informally bartered. Historically, community fisheries centres (CFCs) were established on a number of Tuvalu’s outer islands, with the intention of providing fishers with income-generating opportunities. In mid-January 2020, Tuvalu was battered by Tropical Cyclone (TC) Tino, which brought heavy rain, heavy swells and gale-force winds of up to 75 km/h, resulting in catastrophic flooding and significant damage to infrastructure and livelihoods. After the Government of Tuvalu declared a state of emergency, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank collectively provided USD 9.3 million to the country to aid recovery. In response to the damaged inflicted by TC Tino, and with the subsequent emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Tuvalu also relocated some of the affected population from the main island of Funafuti to some of the outer islands. -
