Abstract
  • As the stock of marine resources are showing declining trends, the marine fisheries development policy in Thailand has focused on the conservation and sustainable utilization of resources. Many projects for coastal resource management have been planned and implemented during the recent decades. The purpose of this study is to define the groups of coastal resource management projects (CRMPs) in Thailand that has been implemented by Department of Fisheries. The level of participation from fishers and their communities is the first of the criteria used to group CRMPs. There is a wide variation of participation in CRMPs. The second criteria used for defining projects is their target activities. There are various types of activities implemented for CRMP, including the provision of fisheries-related infrastructures for communities, to encourage fishers to form groups, to rehabilitate and enhance coastal resources, to raise capacity building of human resources and promote self-regulatory fishing activities. Some activities have been successful, but some have failed. The critical third criteria is the level of legal support to CRMPs, that may be classified as participation in the decision-making process, self-rule making, protecting their voluntary-based activities, and devolving authority for management at local level. By using these criteria to group CRMPs, the study will illustrate models on CRMP and forecast a future direction of policy for coastal resource management. To achieve the effectiveness of coastal resource management, government should not only implement projects with clear understanding and full participation from fishers and their communities, but also support a legal framework for their activities.
