The fishing profession has decreased by 44.9 percent in ten years. In 2003, the number of fishing households reached 1.6 million, but in 2013, it was only 868 thousand families. The low income coupled with the high risks at sea has led coastal residents to opt for other professions that offer better income.

The prevalence of illegal fishing, which exploits marine resources using much larger vessels and more advanced technology, makes it increasingly difficult for small-scale fishermen to catch fish at sea.
