Assessing the performance of a national participatory scheme for the co-management of the mangrove crab fishery in Madagascar

Résumé

In the context of the FAO's Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) Voluntary Guidelines, inclusive management and participatory research approaches to SSF have been encouraged. To date such initiatives have been limited at the sub-national and national levels. The CORECRABE action research project (2019-2023) addressed that challenge in mangrove crab export-fisheries in Madagascar. Our research aimed at assessing local stakeholders’ learning and participation in the processes of collaborative management of these fisheries through this transdisciplinary case study. We first evaluated the technical, normative and relational learnings of 52 stakeholders who have participated in the project’s regional working groups and/or the national workshop organized from 2020 to 2022. Then, in 2023, we interviewed 300 local SSF actors (fishers, buyers, and community leaders) within 77 focus groups (separated by occupation, age, and gender) in 12 coastal villages involved or not in the project activities. Their fishery knowledge, project participation, social network construction, and management perceptions were collected. The actors’ participation and representation in the project workshops were compared across two intervention regions, as well as the transfer of knowledge to and from the local communities at the regional and national levels. The study highlights the challenges and opportunities of transdisciplinary approach associated with learning mechanisms at varying scales for operationalizing SSF co-management.
