Ambel Lagoon Extractive Reserve (SLER). Because any
change in fishing regulations has to be approved by the
Fisheries Administration (FA), the Forum may present the
FA with more appropriate suggestions about how, where,
and when to fish in the Lagoon. Decisions about how
regulations can be enforced and about earmarking expenditures
could be made by the Forum. That is, there will be a
need for devolution of decision-making power from the
central offices of FA to the Sre Ambel Lagoon Forum
(which should have at least one FA officer). The Forum
may also decide who may or may not fish (regulations), and
at what ‘price’ (financial incentives). This will be further
explored in the next section.
