    This document is a report of the proceedings and compilation of the papers presented at the regional consultation on interactive mechanisms for small-scale fisheries management, which was held in Bangkok, Thailand in November 2001. The meeting identifies constraints and responsibilities in decentralized small-scale fisheries management and offers practical solutions to the social, economic, environmental and legal constraints to local fisheries management. The fisheries sector has grown dramatic ally in Asia over the past three decades and the region is now a main supplier to the global fish market. However, the impressive growth has been accompanied by serious challenges in the form of over-exploitation of coastal resources. Country papers included in the publication examine national experiences in small-scale fisheries management in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. Separate papers provide regional perspectives on the issue while ex perience papers report on the working of small-scale fisheries management projects in the region.

    Fishery management relates to a total system made up of resources, industry and trade. There are important linkages between these components. In contrast with other resource industries, common property in fishery resources implies that there is no market mechanism through which access to these resources could be allocated among users. In many cases, governments have been forced to intervene, rightly or wrongly, to fill this vacuum. Economically, rational fishery management necessitates the trans formation of common property through some kind of limited entry system designed to optimize net benefits from the fishery. Management planning involves the definition of goals and policy objectives and the development of strategies to assure attainment of policy objectives.

    Trawl fisheries play an important role in Vietnam marine capture fishery, not only in terms of total number of fishing effort, but also in catch volume. According to DECAFIREP1 (2013), currently, there are about 19,700 trawlers which were categorized by different fishing fleets based on engine capacity (HP), namely below 20 CV, 20-­‐ ˂50CV, 50-­‐ ˂90CV, 90-­‐ ˂ 150CV, 150-­‐ ˂ 250CV, 250-­‐ ˂ 400CV and above 400CV. Trawlers occur in all 28 coastal provinces but dominant in the certain provinces, such as the northern cluster: Quang Ninh (1,257 units), Thanh Hoa (1,296 units); the southern cluster including Binh Thuan (1,227 units), Ba Ria – Vung Tau (1,980 units), Ben Tre (2,878 units) and Kien Giang (3,156 units). The small trawlers (bellow 90 CV) normally fish shrimp, prawn while big trawlers focus on fish including small pelagic fishes (anchovy, sardine, scads…) and others. Mainly, shrimp trawlers concentrate in Kien Giang, Ben Tre, Ca Mau and Bac Lieu provinces. Below 90 CV trawlers account for about 46 % total number of trawlers in the country.
