Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment: a Handbook for Community Workers and Coastal Resource Managers

This handbook has been developed to help integrate the knowledge of local coastal resource users with the understanding of scientific experts and thus maximize the effectiveness of integrated coastal resource management projects. It is based on work and research conducted by the authors in the Philippines and other countries in relation to various coastal resource management. It is also based on lessons from the implementation of participatory coastal resource assessment in San Vicente, Palawan and other areas as part of the Coastal Resource Management Project.

This handbook is intended primarily for community workers and coastal resource managers involved in community development for sustainable use. It has two main purposes: first, to help community workers maximize the contribution they can make to initial coastal resource assessment and project monitoring and evaluation and, second, to initiate, as early as possible, dialogue and input from community-level coastal resource users in a wat that is relevant and meaningful to them.
