Socioeconomics fisheries
surveys in Pacific Islands:
A manual for the collection of a minimum dataset
by M. Kronen, N. Stacey,
P. Holland, F. Magron and M. Power
There is growing
acceptance in the Pacific Islands region that reef and lagoon fisheries can no
longer be managed by focusing on the biology of the stocks and the fishing
activity alone. Many other aspects of the local community and its use of the
resources also have serious implications for the overall health of coastal
marine systems. These aspects include alternative income sources, living costs,
access to boat transport and fishing gear, and marketing infrastructure.
Socioeconomic
information helps fisheries officers and other coastal resource stakeholders to
monitor and manage reef and lagoon resources in their country. The information
gathered is also important for making informed decisions about the sustainable
use of coastal marine resources.
This manual is a guide
on how to collect and analyse “socioeconomic” data on reef and lagoon fisheries.
