This project arose from the observation, supported by previous studies, that the need to reform coastal resource governance in the countries of Central America and the Caribbean (CAC) is urgent. This applies particularly to small-scale fisheries (SSF) and marine protected areas (MPA) with their associated natural habitats and human socio-economic processes that comprise social-ecological systems. Co-management, as a process of participation, empowerment, power sharing, dialogue, conflict management and knowledge generation, holds potential for the region as an alternative coastal resource management strategy and as a solution to these problems. Co-management will, however, involve the establishment of new organisations, institutional arrangements, laws and policies to support decentralization of governance, partnerships for management and stakeholder participation in management.
