In Libreville, Gabon, the Minister of the Sea, Fisheries, and Blue Economy, Aimé Martial Massamba, has taken a significant stride in advancing the nation’s blue economy by submitting regulatory texts for validation.
The event, which is ongoing as of April 17, 2026, marks a critical phase in the implementation of the President’s 100-day action plan. This plan outlines the comprehensive revision and creation of key regulatory documents aimed at redefining the structure and operations of the Ministry, according to Dr. Brice Didier Celce Koumba Mabert, the Director General.
The upcoming restructuring includes the conversion of certain technical services into autonomous entities. This transformation is particularly evident in the case of the Directorate of Quality and Transformation of Fishery Products.
Additionally, the plan encompasses the rehabilitation of fishery and aquaculture stations, achieved through the establishment of an office responsible for managing fishing centers. Upon validation of the texts, they will be forwarded to the government. Subsequently, they will be submitted to the Council of State and the Council of Ministers for promulgation.
Once published in the Official Gazette, the relevant directorates and services will be set in motion to implement the new regulatory framework. This development is a testament to Gabon’s commitment to fostering a sustainable and thriving blue economy.
