dc.description.abstractPublic land between the beach and privately owned beach plots or properties has either been illegally possessed or encroached on by private developers. Fish landing sites have also been illegally possessed. The BMU management framework is a positive step for fisheries governance and participatory fisheries management. However, the legislation still has gaps due to being modeled on Lake Victoria fisheries, and not fully adapted to marine fisheries. The workshop provided coastal communities with an opportunity to interact and share practical experiences in marine resource use and management and to articulate their needs. Six BMUs attended the meeting.en
