A charter has been adopted by the African Union to raise security off the major economically coasts in the continent. Issues like piracy and illegal fishing have cost the continent's maritime industry billions of dollars in over 15 years ago.
More than 40 countries in the African Union have jointly signed the deal to eradicate the widespread maritime insecurity along the economically coasts of the continent. Over 88% of Africa's import and export are transported through the sea, thereby making maritime security a serious issue to be urgently looked into for the continent's economic success.
