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. |
