Book (stand-alone)Creating legal space for community-based fisheries and customary marine tenure in the Pacific: issues and opportunities 2004
Also available in:
No results found.There is much interest in using customary marine tenure (CMT) as a basis for community-based fisheries management (CBFM) in the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). The laws of PICs lend general support to the use of CMT or tradition in fisheries management. Still, only modest efforts in the use of CMT-based community fisheries management in the PICs are observed. Further legislative action can enhance CMT use in community fisheries management. Government commitment to CBFM generally, and for the ro le of CMT in the CBFM context with support from interested entities and stakeholders including communities, will complement efforts for promoting sustainable utilization of fisheries resources and improved livelihoods in the PICs. -

The early results of the CBFM project after the workshop are also given. -
Book (stand-alone)Report and Proceedings of the Sri Lanka/FAO National Workshop on Development of Community-based Fishery Management - BOBP/REP/72
Colombo, Sri Lanka 3-5 October 1994
1998Also available in:
No results found.In Sri Lanka, traditional fisheries management has been implemented for many years in certain areas. The concept of participatory approaches in fisheries management where target beneficiaries are involved in the planning, decisionmaking and implementation of management measures is, therefore, not new in the country. The Government is keen to introduce and actively promote community-based management for the sustainable use of fisheries resources. The Workshop examined the possibilities of strengt hening participatory approaches in fishery management and identified a number of conditions to be met, and made recommendations for the government and other institutions to follow.
