    This report of the Consultation-cum-Workshop on the Development of Activities for the Improvement of Coastal Fishing Families is a contribution to the search for a proper assessment of the conditions of fisherfolk, particularly the women, and for ways and means of how this target group could be helped within the framework of the overall development work. There were 23 participants at the workshop -official representatives of four countries plus BOBP staff and resource persons, most of whom had had field experience. The approach of the workshop was “participatory”, and emphasized discussion and field trips rather than lectures. It was the participants who provided most of the information, identified the problems to be discussed, drew up guidelines for project, and suggested follow-up ideas for BOBP membercountries.
