To develop and implement a management plan for the Sre
Ambel Lagoon Extractive Reserve (SLER), a co-management
forum could be created. This forumcould serve as an arena for
negotiation, joint problem-solving, and mutual learning
among local fishers, government agencies, researchers, and
other stakeholders. The co-management forum should address
the major categories of policy instruments for sustainable
fisheries management as presented. Since the majority (OP=
0.8) of local people have willingness to change style of
management, specific policy instruments that are discussed
regarding the extractive reserve are addressed during the field
work through local workshop. Potential issues in the design of
this policy, such as administrative costs, enforceability,
effectiveness, distributional effects, and use of revenues, will
also be addressed.
