Abstract
This study took to carry out an investigation on contemporary fishing methods and
sustainability of fishing Activities in Eyl, Puntland, Somalia. The objectives of the study
were to determine the level of usage of contemporary fishing methods, to determine
the level of sustainability of fishing Activities and to establish the relationship between
the level of usage of contemporary fishing methods and sustainability of fishing
Activities in Eyl district Somalia. The study employed descriptive correlational study
design which involved both qualitative and quantitative approaches. With regards to this
method, the researcher used a structured questionnaire which was based on simple and
understandable questions. Responses from the 175 sample size respondents suggested
that the levels of usage of contemporary fishing methods were too wanting. The
researcher found out that though the effectiveness of these methods is high, their
adoption was still not up to the mark. Sustainability of fishing Activities was also
confirmed to be low. It was also established that there is indeed a causal relationship
between the usage of contemporary fishing methods and sustainability of fishing
Activities which was positive and strong measuring at 0.889 on the Pearson Correlation
Scale. The researcher suggested that it has become imperative that there be significant
improvement on the usage of the contemporary fishing methods by among others,
enforcing regulations to the field, public awareness, research and technological
improvement etc.
