Description:

"This report presents a coherent view of previously published research on traditional fishing practices in Samoa. By using this material to compare what we know of previous practices with the contemporary situation, scientists may be able to better measure the changes that have taken place. In turn, this documentation can help to inform modern community-based management programs and potentially revitalize traditional practices that are supportive of the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources"--Introduction.
