In an attempt to continue supply and lessen environmental and social impact, several sea pens line the western coast. These are the result of a collaborative work between IHSM, several NGO’s, many donors, a private company, local committees and farmers. The conditions are promising but still far from ideal due to conflicts between fishermen, disagreement with the supplier / exporter and lack of surveillance by the Fisheries Ministry.
