<p>The development and adoption of the Aichi Target 6 as a national target addresses the issues of overexploitation of fisheries harvest and other aquatic organisms in inland and marine waters of Sudan. The selected target focuses on the sustainable management of fisheries to reduce the overexploitation of fisheries harvest and other water organisms that restores and relieves the pressure on biodiversity. Information on management and harvest rates of fresh and marine fish species, aquatic invertebrates and plants are lacking. Fisheries habitats are largely unmapped. The efforts to develop geospatial overlays of fisheries, critical habitat and marine protected areas are not tapped yet in the country.</p>
