Selection Criteria and Co-Management Guidelines for Harvest Reserves for Tropical River Fisheries - Guidelines.

Abstract

These guidelines provide advice on the selection and co-management of harvest reserves for sustainable community benefits in floodplain river fisheries. Chapter 2 of the guidelines provides general advice for the development of co-management practices for floodplain river fisheries. Chapter 3 of the guidelines concentrates on the use of harvest reserves in river fisheries. Both social and technical criteria are given for the selection of appropriate water-bodies, and for their management. The final step-by-step guidelines in Chapter 4 summarise where co-management practices and reserves may best be developed and where capacity building and training will be most required for success.
