During Somali Fisheries Week 2026, we had the pleasure of welcoming Deputy Prime Minister H.E. Salah Ahmed Jama (@SalahJama) and Minister of Fisheries and Blue Economy (@FisheriesDevSom ) H.E. Ahmed Hassan Aden aboard our fishing vessel, Maanya Mooya, at the Port of Mogadishu.
The visit highlighted the growing potential of Somalia’s fisheries industry and the important role of private sector investment in developing a competitive seafood sector.
At Marina Seafood, we are proud to contribute to this growth through continued investment, innovation, and sustainable fisheries development.

I had the privilege of participating in National Somali Fisheries Week in Mogadishu—an important platform for advancing Somalia’s fisheries and broader blue economy.
The event featured robust, in-depth discussions and practical ideas on how to take Somali seafood 🦞 and the marine sector to the next level. Unlocking the sector’s full potential will require investment, value addition, improved infrastructure, sustainable fisheries management, and stronger market linkages to create jobs and expand export opportunities.
Congratulations to the organizers for convening this important event and fostering meaningful dialogue focused on actionable solutions.
The opportunity is immense, and the time to turn ideas into tangible results is now.

1. Northeastern State of Somalia (NES) is Somalia's newest FMS. MoF built its revenue, PFM systems and TSA from scratch, prepares and executes its own budget, and joined the IGFF process — without the typical donor-funded capacity-building.
2. As a volunteer for 2+ years, no one has dared approach me with a bribe. All hires via open competition. While Somali’s situation is very challenging, the Ministry works under zero corruption.
3. New administrations like NES — with no inherited payroll, patronage networks, or bloated budgets — have a rare window to set clean hiring, procurement and cash-management rules before bad habits entrench.
4. Somalia's PFM still struggles with patronage and leakage. NES's small base is an opportunity to do it differently. Somalis can build clean institutions from day one.
