CHARM has been dealing with areas with quite different natural and administrative boundaries with more or less success in setting up co-management arrangements for coastal resources management planning. They are, 1) the village through
conservation/occupational group strengthening and networking, 2) the Sub-district through the setting up of Natural Resources Management Committees, Information and Learning Centres, Saving groups and school network, 3) the Province through issuerelated
agreements (tourism,fisheries) and planning support and, 4) the seascape management units like Chalong Bay, Phang Nga Bay or Ban Don Bay leading the way towards a more ecosystem-based approach (Fig.3)
