Book Description

There has been an increasing shift towards co-management for which managers need to reflect on new roles and reconsider information requirements. This technical paper is in two parts and provides guidelines to help design and implement appropriate and cost-effective data collection programmes or systems. In Part 2: the technical guidelines provides more technical detail on each of the sections in the Practical guide, including examples of the types of data that might be of interest to different stakeholders, data collection methods and sources, the design of sampling programmes, and guidance on data analysis and interpretation. Part 2 is particularly for Department of Fisheries and extension staff, research agencies and academic institutions, but can also provide field practitioners with an additional resource that can be referenced when necessary.
