Resumen
Descripción
Fisheries extension is a concept that is not always very well understood. One reason is that extension, in general, involves a rather complex process that requires clear objectives, clear programmes and the resources to implement its programmes. Another reason is that the effects of extension are not always clearly visible in a short period of time; extension is often just the starting point of helping people to help themselves, and this may require time. And then again, fisheries extension ha s its own complicated features, compared, for example, to agricultural extension. Fisheries extension cannot always be given ‘on the job’, which is at sea. And in a fishing village it is often difficult to gather together a group of fishermen, for they are frequently away from their homes at irregular times. Furthermore, while an agricultural community might have relatively homogeneous farming systems, most fishing communities have diverse ranges of ‘fishing systems’, each with its own extension requirements.
