This recent Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) funded project brings together leading Canadian, UK, and Vietnamese scholars and WorldFish scientists to work together on ways to strengthen the resilience of fisheries systems in the face of climate change and economic globalization. The goal of the GSF project is to improve the poverty-reduction outcomes of governance reforms in small-scale fisheries in developing countries. This will be achieved by developing a conceptual and practical understanding of how wellbeing considerations can be fully incorporated into fisheries governance reforms, and correspondingly into the design of fisheries management instruments.
The project hosts its second meeting at the World Fish HQ in Penang in June 2010, which includes a 4-day field consultation to Tam Giang lagoon, Vietnam.
