Abstract
The unregulated expansion of aquaculture in a huge coastal lagoon was making
it impossible for poor mobile fishers to make a living, and threatening the
environment of the lagoon itself. With local government officials unable or
unwilling to act, a team of researchers from two universities and the Department
of Fisheries was determined to save the lagoon and livelihoods by finding
participatory solutions to the impasse.
