Book excerpt: This Expert Consultation took place in Accra, Ghana, 2001 and reviewed management approaches employed in the small-scale fisheries in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. It found that government institutional arrangements/management outnumbered the traditional and co-management systems. In general though, most countries operate a combination of management practices. The consultation found co-management systems seemed the most viable option for this region, and that therefore the FAO should issue guidelines for the greater development and introduction of co-management.
