Translating policy into action is an ongoing focus of the SCS Project, and essential for meeting the SCS Project objective of establishing a regionally co-ordinated approach to action aimed at reversing environmental degradation trends in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand. As such, the fisheries component, led by the Regional Working Group for the Fisheries Component (RWG-F), is developing mechanisms to effect the integration of fisheries and habitat management, as well as establishing examples of best practice in the management of the environmental aspects of regional coastal and marine fisheries.
