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.
Reference used strongly in 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 - SEARCA.
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.
