Scientific and local ecological knowledge integration

There are numerous studies and projects by local and external experts and organizations to support the initiative to rehabilitate the MMORS WQMA and sustain fisheries livelihoods in the area. These should be maximized to guide local planning and development. Local fishers, fish farmers and their organizations also have rich experiences and local ecological knowledge about the river system and fisheries. The adaptive capacities of fisherfolk helped in making short-term responses successful in terms of sustaining the fish farm operation.

The national and local fisheries policies provide enabling mechanisms to encourage stakeholder engagement in fisheries and river rehabilitation. Pilot studies and projects by private and civil society in partnership with fisheries and multi-stakeholder groups could also be scaled up and mainstreamed. There is a need to strengthen the institutional mechanisms for these types of collaborations through the use of more participatory tools and approaches to projects and research.
