| ABSTRACT |
| The Workshop on Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Assessment of Small-Scale Fisheries (Rome, 20–22 September 2005) was organized jointly by the WorldFish Center and FAO through its FishCode Programme as a first step in developing a collaborative project towards capacity building for small-scale fisheries assessment in developing countries. Participants represented various international and national agencies and academic institutions as well as private firms, and were invited on the basis of their extensive experience in small-scale fisheries either from a natural or social science background. |
| The Workshop addressed three main tasks through plenary and working group sessions: preliminary development of a framework for interdisciplinary assessment of small-scale fisheries; identification of appropriate approaches, methods and research needs to help fill small-scale fisheries information gaps; and preparation of an outline implementation strategy for a collaborative project on small-scale fisheries. |
| Key follow-up actions agreed by the Workshop were continued information exchange between participants via the Internet, including further feedback on the proposed project in capacity building, and circulation of a revised Concept Note on the project. |
