Book (stand-alone)Fisheries Extension Services for Coastal Provinces: Learnings from a Project in Ranong, Thailand - BOBP/REP/68 1994
Also available in:
No results found.This report describes the process, achievements and learnings of a subproject which set out to develop a model for enabling integrated development in selected fishing communities in the Ranong Province of Thailand. While actually providing the services, it was intended to learn simultaneously about the approaches and methods of fisheries extension services that target small-scale fisherfolk communities in coastal provinces. The subproject was conceptualized late in 1985, towards the end of the f irst phase of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP), and was to be implemented during the second phase of BOBP which started in 1987. Several preparatory exercises were undertaken during 1985 and 1986 and the implementation of the project initiated late in 1986. The subproject undertook several activities, including technology transfer in the areas of aquaculture and capture fisheries, it provided credit through revolving funds for various fisheries and nonfisheries activities, it promoted ski ll development among women in the hope of enhancing their incomes, it facilitated access to health education and healthcare in remote villages, it helped in the provision of nonformal education, and it enabled fishing communities to gain access to community development programmes of the Government. It even helped some of the villages to create some infrastructure. It finally spent time on trying to extract the learnings from its work and on sharing this learning with the Department of Fisheries (DOF). The Department of Fisheries of Thailand was responsible for the execution of the subproject, and it did so with the cooperation of the government departments responsible for healthcare, non-formal education, cooperatives and community development. The BOBP provided technical assistance, support for some additional staff, training, equipment, credit and monitoring. -
Book (series)Report of the First Phase of the Aquaculture Demonstration for Small-Scale Fisheries Development Project in Phang Nga, Thailand, March 1979-September 1981 - BOBP/REP/14 1982
Also available in:
No results found.This document is the report of the implementation of the project “Aquaculture Demonstration for Small-Scale Fisheries Development, Phang Nga, Thailand” during its first phase, March 1979 to September 1981. A short account of the project’s background, objectives, modus operandi and pre-operational activities is followed by a description and assessment of each component of the project - aquaculture demonstration, community development and the women component. It shows that cockle culture is the most successful aquaculture activity, while the commercial feasibility of finfish cage culture and oyster culture and the technical feasibility of mussel culture are yet to be established. The achievements of the community development component and the extensive training activities under each project component are also highlighted in the report. The report is based on the work of Mr. Boon Boonruang, Senior Fishery Biologist (team leader of the project) under the supervision of Mr. Vanich Varik ul, Director of the Brackishwater Fisheries Division of the Department of Fisheries, Thailand (Project Director) and the South China Sea Fisheries Development and Coordinating Programme. On behalf of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP), technical support for the execution of the project was provided to the Department of Fisheries, Thailand by the South China Sea Fisheries Development and Coordinating Programme (SCSP). Consequent to a joint review of the project, carried out at the end of the first phase, in which representatives of the Thailand Department of Fisheries, BOBP and SCSP participated, agreement for the support of a second phase of the project was reached between the Department and BOBP. -
Book (stand-alone)Small-scale Aquaculture Development Project in South Thailand: Results and Impact - BOBP/REP/28 1986
Also available in:
No results found.This report discusses the results and the impact of a (i-year BOBP-assisted project (March 1979-July 1985) for small-scale aquaculture development on the south-west coast of Thailand. An earlier report (BOBP/REP/14) discussed the outcome of the project’s first phase, from March 1979 to September 1981. The project work encompassed several components in three main areas-aquaculture, community development and activities for women. The project began 1979 in a single province: Phang Nga. At the time of termination, it covered six provinces in south Thailand. This report critically assesses the project’s performance and the impact generated by each component. It is based on a review of project documents such as progress reports, project preparation and assessment reports, as well as on interviews with fisheries officers, small-scale fisherfolk and large-scale fish farmers in eight selected villages in Satun, Trang and Phang Nga provinces, carried out over a period of two weeks in October 1985.
