Development of programmatic EIAs and monitoring programs for clusters of small scale cage farmers The Philippines

Published case studies


Case studies satisfy two needs:

They call attention to a wide variety of applications that have contributed to solving important issues that affect the sustainability of aquaculture and inland fisheries. They also provide information usually lacking from scientific papers and reports, namely, in what ways, and with what commitments of time and specialized personnel the work has been completed.
