Management and research themes covered by current Regional Working GroupsSource: The institutional structure and programs of the Organisation (LVFO, January 2005)

Other Stakeholders in Co-ManagementGroups dependent on fishing and related activities,

boat owners, traders, processors, gear producers and boat builders are included in co-management.

Fish consumers are all target beneficiaries who gain from a more secure resource base and improved facilities and services at fish landings.

There are other beneficiaries who provide various services to fisheries stakeholders, these include credit providers, shop-keepers and government services involved in the sector.

Private industry associated with fish processing and export is are major stakeholder in fisheries resources management, fish quality and market efficiencies but also by being integrated into decision-making management structures.

Other ChallengesCross-boarder Conflicts - Lake Victoria Fisheries

is multi-State, multi-jurisdiction with harmonized but differing legal requirements of who may fish, where, when and for how long. Conflicts abound but have been dampened in scope and frequency. Fishers are required to obey laws and access regulations of the waters the fish. In this regard, LVFO provided summarized legal requirements of each partner states to concerned cross boarder fishers and organized meeting of boarder co-management concerns to de-escalate tension exacerbated by increased Piracy and theft.
