Abstract

This document aims to provide a review of the global status of tropical river and inland fisheries valuation. It also considers the impact of changes in river basin management and compares valuation approaches used in different places. Impacts of large dams on the hydrology, ecology and livelihood support attributes of tropical rivers are well-recognised, but there have been only few valuation studies of these impacts. Moreover, the generation of information in this area is severely constrained in many countries and river systems by a lack of institutional capacity and skills to undertake valuation studies. It is vital for policy-makers and other particular groups of stakeholders to understand the importance of these natural resources to society and to use this understanding as a basis for making appropriate decisions concerning the role of tropical river fisheries in development policy.
