The Extension Unit is responsible for the transfer of technology and information to and among fishers and other stakeholders. It is the unit entrusted with the responsibility of breaking the barriers between the fishers and the Fisheries Division, facilitating greater fisher participation in the development and decision-making processes of the sector.  The unit also collaborates with other units in implementing the Fisheries Operational Plan.  Additionally, by working with national, regional and international organisations, the unit brings the concerns of fishers to the fore and facilitates programmes that will allow for greater organisation among themselves.
