Descripción
The National Seminar on the Reduction and Management of Commercial Fishing Capacity in Thailand took place from 11 to 14 May 2004 in Cha-Am, Thailand. Participants included senior officials from the Department of Fisheries and other relevant Government departments, representatives of associations of the commercial fishing industry, leaders of small-scale coastal fishers, national and international resource persons and representatives of bilateral and multilateral agencies. The marine captur e fisheries sector is more capital intensive than is appropriate for Thailand's resource endowment, and there is an urgent need for fishing capacity reduction for improved fi sheries management and protection and conservation of fish habitats and other threatened coastal resources. Failure to achieve this will have serious consequences for the most vulnerable people in coastal communities, fish consumers and society at large.
