Abstract: Failures in the communication process have led to adversarial relations and tensions among various fisheries stakeholders and between the government sector and fishing community in particular. Co-operative research and co-management techniques should be used to increase transparency and accountability of the management process. Social science offers a way to better understand people who engage in the fisheries activities to be regulated; the social dimensions of fishing communities and the impact of policies and regulations on people should be included from the onset and become a central part of the management process.
