How Can Collaborative Research be More Useful to Fisheries Management in Developing Countries?

Abstract

Most fisheries management schemes in industrialised and developing countries have not delivered sustainability, the goal usually pursued by them. This short communication takes a look at some ways in which collaborative research and the mobilisation of a wider range of societal actors, such as promoted under the ACP-EU Fisheries Research Initiative, can make a more useful contribution to fisheries management in developing countries.
