This report presents a case study on the impact of trade and investment policies on the environment, focusing of the fisheries sector in Uganda. The study identifies three main concerns: water pollution by fish processing and other manufacturing firms; over-fishing as evidenced by declining harvests in the last 4 years - leading to use of unconventional and harmful fishing methods, including use of poison; and poor quality standards at fish landing sites and in some processing firms which has led to an export ban by the European Union, which takes over 70 percent of Uganda's fish exports. The study proposes both command-and-control measures and economic instruments for sustainable environmental management.
