Summary

The project will introduce incentive-based fishery management to avoid biodiversity loss and help alleviate poverty. It will help maintain a food source and employment for small-scale fishers in Myanmar. We will also establish a platform for dialogues that foster a transboundary hilsa fishery management plan between Myanmar and Bangladesh. Cost-effective and scientifically-researched ‘incentive-based’ sustainable hilsa management scheme is designed, reducing threats to biodiversity and contributing to poverty alleviation by maintaining a food source and continued employment for small-scale fishers.
