Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the purpose to empower the coastal fishing community in the developing countries, the technology transfer of Japanese-type of set-net was challenged through the introduction of appropriate tools for the local fishers working together as the group, under the community-based management system, for utilizing the coastal fisheries resources on the sustainable level.
The community-based set-net can create the opportunity for the ownership of fishing ground with the profit sharing among fishers and for the community. This can give the concept of the own garden for managing the coastal fishing ground and fisheries resources, then can lead to the Community-based Coastal Management by the Fishermen’s Cooperative strategy.
