Stobutzki, I.C., and Hall, S.J., (2005) Rebuilding Coastal Fisheries Livelihoods after the Tsunami: Key Lessons from Past Experience. Naga The WorldFish Center Quarterly, 28 (1 & 2). pp. 6-12. ISSN 0116290X Official URL: http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/Naga28-1&2/tsunami_01.pdf AbstractFishing communities around the Indian Ocean were severely affected by the December 2004 tsunamis. Programs for rebuilding coastal fisheries livelihoods need to address the pre-tsunami situation that was characterized by overfishing and degraded natural resources. Adopting appropriate strategies to ensure sustainable livelihoods will require community involvement, as well as cross-sectoral, integrated planning and management at ascending government levels. Key recommendations from the WorldFish Center study Sustainable Management of Coastal Fish Stocks in Asia are presented to encourage discussion and debate. | Item Type: | Journal |
