Summary: | This paper attempts to examine the changes in surface water environment and
communit y based coastal resources management activities in the Tam Giang Lagoon, Central
Vietnam. The results show that the lagoon’s surface water has been polluted. BOD5, COD and
nutrient concentration have increased in the lagoon’s surface water environment. I t proved that
there was a present of organic substances. Due to the globalization of seafood products and
changes in lagoon’s water quality by aquaculture development; the local government has issued
many regulations to manage lagoon’s resources. Among those policies, the establishment of
fisheries association and/or self-management team is considered as appropriate solution to develop
aquaculture and capture aquatic resources in the lagoon. However, the benefit and power of the
resour ce users have not been stipulated for both fisheries association and self-management team.
Instead of this, it is only member’s responsibilities and duties in using lagoon’s water surface
areas. As a result, most of resource users in the study area have not participated in these
organizations as their members. The resource user must do all activities in relation to aquaculture
by themselves, without supporting from above or ganizations. |
