This report seeks to examine the current status of scaling-up Community-based fisheries management (CBFM) in the Pacific, outline some of the key areas of progress and major challenges, and identify opportunities and potential ways forward for scaling up CBFM under four main themes. These broad themes are: (i) Governance, tenure and traditional knowledge; (ii) Scaling up in the context of global conservation and ocean agendas; (iii) Coastal fisheries administration and management effectiveness; and (iv) Climate change adaptation, sustainable livelihoods and community resilience. Recommendations presented are intended to guide policymakers, practitioners, and partners in advancing sustainable coastal fisheries management in the Pacific Islands. The report concludes that the Pacific Islands region has made significant progress in developing and implementing community-based approaches to fisheries management. However further action is needed to address persistent challenges and seize emerging opportunities as well as ensure CBFM is not marginalized or neglected in the face of external pressures.
