The participants identified a list of constraints in moving from centralized to decentralized small-scale fisheries management and grouped them according to the identified fields of action.
Solutions were given for the two levels of intervention, i.e. the policy level and the activity level. The participants agreed that such decentralization process had loops and layers. Depending on the level reached, activities may have to be repeated and further training may be needed to reach the next level. It was also agreed that by moving through this process, the feedback received provides and sharpens the activity planning in the communities.
