Abstract: Abstract The policy implementation process is often overlooked when policy is introduced, potentially leading to policy failure. The present study, therefore, sought to contribute to this endeavour by examining the association between co-evolution (in terms of adaptation and social dynamics) and fisheries policy implementation in Uganda. A cross-sectional survey design was conducted on a sample of 155 fishing sub-counties. Data were collected using questionnaires. The study found a significant positive relationship between co-evolution and fisheries policy implementation. Policy implementation should therefore be undertaken in consideration of the co-evolving holistic environment.
