WHICH MANAGEMENT PATHWAY?
“The ocean
is the next frontier
in the pursuit of sustainable
management & development.
While we have failed to protect
our land and atmospheric
environments from our human
demands we must make sure
that the ocean does not meet
with the same fate...”

Conclusion - Suggestions Strengthening Fisheries
Institutions for lifting Coastal Fisheries Management
 Improve/strengthen capacity at national fisheries administrations, subnational, and communities
 Allocate adequate budget to strengthen national fisheries coastal fisheries
programs
 Develop national policies/plans/legislation/regulations that recognises the
role of local communities in community based management of inshore
fisheries
 Encourage and empower coastal communities to address their coastal
fisheries problems through community-based management practises
 Adopt standardised, user-friendly and cost-effective data collection systems;
 Modify household income and expenditure surveys and censuses to measure
the success of management approaches
 Structure national fisheries institutions to enable greater involvement by
stakeholders
