ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The consultant team members would like to express their appreciation to Chen Foo Yan and his staff at the Network of Aquaculture Centres of Asia (NACA) for their generous assistance, advice and hospitality. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the patient support and guidance of Hassanai Kongkeo and Alessandro Lovatelli who, in turn, escorted us throughout the mission.
The meeting itineraries within each country were coordinated to a large extent by the national FAO or NACA/Seafarming Project representative; to all of them we owe a debt of gratitude. Thanks also to the personnel (too many to acknowledge individually, but listed in Appendix I) from numerous departments and agencies who provided us with the invaluable information and data which form the basis of this mission report.
Finally, we would like to acknowledge the financial support and encouragement of the Fishery Resources and Environment Division of FAO in Rome, the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia and, within Canada, the provincial governments of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the Land Registration and Information Service (LRIS) of the Council of Maritime Premiers, and the Champlain Institute.
