Abstract

For the rural poor, the freshwater wetlands (beels) of Assam, in India, are the only source of fish.They depend on them for their daily consumption as well as a source of livelihood. Current regulations and system of management are not conducive to sustainable production from these water bodies as it has resulted in overexploitation and degradation. It is, therefore, imperative that some form of co-management with the local communities be established for the beels.
