    A priority activity of the SCSP is to stimulate the development of aquaculture as an integrated part of the total development of fisheries. Based on its work to date, one of the major constraints found is the lack of practical, sound, workable, engineering practices to guide development. It is felt that all the expertise required exists in the region, but that it is unevenly distributed and not well known among the countries. This Workshop has provided a vehicle for the exchange of very usefu l engineering practices and further it has given valuable guidance to the Programme in its future activities to assist the region particularly in small-scale fisheries development. It has been carried out with close cooperation of SEAFDEC in providing its facilities and staff and as well as the lodging and living expenses of the participants while attending the Workshop. The Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources assisted also in the organization and implementation. Close collab oration, support and participation was given by the private sector, through the Philippine Federation of Fishfarm Producers, Inc.

    Small-scale fishery in Southeast Asia: a case study in Southern Thailand 2001

    Nine out of every ten of the world's 30 million people who make a living directly from fishing live in Asia and some 80 percent of them are small-scale fisherfolk. However, the food and livelihood needs of a growing population are running up against limited fishery resources, which are fast depleting in most coastal regions of Asia. This publication contains the results of a study of small-scale fishery along Thailand's Andaman Sea coast, which accounts for up to 14 percent of the country's tota l fish catch. It uses data from the national marine fishery census together with a field study of socio-economic conditions and fishery practices in six representative coastal villages around the bay of Phan-nga, which spreads across 3000 sq km, including 1900 sq km of mangrove. The study also examines the use and incomes from three types of small-scale fishing gear and uses this information along with socio-geographic data to assess sustainable small-scale fishery management options.
