Fisheries
Postconflict conditions of Hera Port were poor due to the combination of poor construction and maintenance. Most inshore fishing boats and gear had been destroyed. Offshore, commercial fishing boats were destroyed or removed including about 24, which went to Atauro island, of which only 4 or 5 are operational today.
