Fishery co-management refers to an approach that recognizes fishers' participation, local stewardship, and shared decision-making in the management of fisheries. Pomeroy (agricultural resource economics, U. of Connecticut, US) and Rivera-Guieb (independent consultant and board member, Coastal Community Resources and Livelihoods Development Inc., Philippines) present a handbook that lays out the planning and implementation processes of establishing small-scale fishery co-management in developing countries. Addressing all actors who may be involved in co-management, they provide chapters on community entry and integration; research and participatory research; environmental education, capacity development, and social communication; community organizing; co-management plan and agreement; conflict management; plan implementation; and post-implementation.
