Focus of the Workshop
Management of wild capture coastal/inshore
fisheries, predominantly using CEAFM
• Effective management includes maximising
development opportunities from fisheries
• Aquaculture, stock enhancement and alternative
livelihoods (to fishing) are indirectly linked to
fisheries management but will only be considered
in terms of their direct impact on coastal/inshore
fisheries management
Key Objectives
• Improved understanding of the successes and
challenges of CEAFM, lessons learned, and what
needs to be done to roll out effective
management at an appropriate scale
(national/sub national)
• Increased knowledge of the issues, practices and
tools used in successful CEAFM
• Development of pathways for change including
key roles for stakeholders and linkages between
them that will support improved management
Output of the workshop
A document that will:
• outline a non-prescriptive suite of approaches to
improve the status of CEAFM in SPC countries and
territories;
• identify roles for various stakeholders including
interactions between them;
• identify resource needs, including from donors, NGOs
and national budgets;
• provide a framework that can be used to develop
effective monitoring and evaluation; and
• be forwarded to HOF for endorsement and the FFC
Ministerial meeting seeking higher level support
Format of the workshop
• Part 1. Current situation of CEAFM
• Part 2. Increased knowledge of the issues,
practices and tools used in successful CEAFM
• Part 3 Development of a blueprint for
improved CEAFM using a framework based on
the theory of change, including key roles for
stakeholders and linkages between them,
Other features of the workshop
• Plenary presentations
• Break out groups based on sub-regions (see

programme to best suit needs of participants
and achievement of output
