This importance, however, is not well reflected in the decision-making and policy formulation processes affecting the fisheries sector. Fishing operations, particularly in small-scale fisheries, remain largely unregulated and usually the sector as a whole and the role it plays in the livelihoods of coastal dwellers remain poorly understood. The increasing trend in decentralization and the active participation of fishers and other stakeholders in the management of coastal fisheries resources are widely seen as effective ways to address these gaps and thus considered a precondition for effective and successful management of the resources in question. This publication reports on an FAO project supported by SIDA to test and verify new approa ches to fisheries information generation based on stakeholder involvement, dialogue and co-management. It focused on four countries: Cambodia, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Viet Nam.
