Much of the work to be done in Fish Forever is about building capacity-in the fishers and their organizations that will work with other stakeholders to manage the MA+R, and which eventually form the management bodies that are legally empowered to make the decisions about their fishery.
These management bodies learn about fisheries science, the importance of protected areas, and strategies for reducing effort or improving coordination.
