Additional Notes:
The text should include boxes to respond to
certain myths and misperceptions on fisheries in the Philippines,
such as fisheries on the downtrend, indigenous notions of
fisheries management and how they connect to fisheries management.

the development of this framework was the ADB - Regional Technical
Assistance No 5766 entitled "Sustainable Management of
Coastal Fish Stocks in Asia" Courtesy of Cesar Luna -

Question mark
(?) placed after name of institution/group means that it would
be logical for this group to help with this, but feedback
required from institution/group on their involvement.
