This handbook describes the process of community-based fishery co-management from its beginning, through implementation, to turnover to the community. It provides ideas, methods, techniques, activities, checklists, examples, questions and indicators for the planning and implementation of a process of community-based co-management. It focuses on small-scale fisheries (freshwater, floodplain, estuarine or marine) in developing countries, but is also relevant to small-scale fisheries in developed countries and to the management of other coastal resources (such as coral reefs, mangroves, sea grass and wetlands). This handbook is intended for resource managers, practitioners, academics and students of small-scale fisheries. The book has 14 chapters and a subject index.
