No results found.In rural areas, land is the basis for agricultural production and the source for securing natural resources through fishing, hunting, pasturing or other activities. Land is used by many people for different purposes (e.g. for agricultural production, housing, industry, services and government). Land also has social, cultural and political functions related to each country’s history. Because land is used for so many purposes, land and property rights have broad impact on people’s lives and livelihoods. These rights refer to the rules that specify who can do what with which resources and assets, for how long and under what conditions. Collecting plants in a forest, cultivating a plot of land, getting the produce harvested, accessing and extracting natural resources and deciding who should or should not be allowed to collect plants or cultivate a plot of land are all expressions of the exercise of property rights. -

The presentations included those made from the perspective of the fishing industry, government policy makers and administrators, legal implications as a consequence of national systems of law. Those concerned with the social and economic implications of this form of management reviewed the implications for communities affected by such changes in fisheries management approach. Many papers described specific national implementation experiences, both positive and negative, and national programme successes and 'less-than-successes'. Other papers dealt with the social, economic and legal theory appertaining to this form of management. Of the 76 papers presented during the Workshop part of the Conference, two were withdrawn after presentation and three were given only as oral presentations or in outline form.
