 in small-scale and artisanal fisheries compared with other sectors; limitations associated with traditional top-down hierarchical management; and a historical tendency for governments to work with more established industrial and economic sectors.

The forum noted that in inland fisheries there are complex systems of overlapping and sometimes competing rights with economic interests from other users of water resources, such as the electric power production industry or farming sector (see sections Improving the valuation of inland fisheries, p. 114, and Ten steps to responsible inland fisheries, p. 147). In such cases, these other sector interests can affect the rights of inland fishers to access water and fisheries resources. In coastal settings, other sectors such as shipping, oil and gas (see Box 5 Petroleum and fisheries, p. 87), tourism and tourist centres may have similar overlapping claims and impacts.

Incorporating these other sectors into the decision-making process requires the political will to do so, and it can often take a long time to bring about such a change. However, such consultative processes are important for creating successful management and tenure systems.

Conclusions

The forum provided a platform for sharing ideas on how to improve tenure and user rights in fisheries. The forum noted that, although there is no particular "one size fits all" rights-based system, there are common challenges that most fisheries stakeholders face. With regard to these common challenges, differences will arise depending on whether a fishery is inland, coastal, community-based, small-scale, large-scale or offshore. The different cases presented demonstrated the need to adapt the design and implementation of fishing rights to local circumstances.

In many developing countries, governance conditions differ markedly from those in developed countries, greatly affecting the range of fishery reforms that may be successfully implemented. In particular, power structures and the rule of law are important considerations in many developing countries, which are also often characterized by poverty, a greater reliance on subsistence fishing, and limited rights for women. Decision-making processes need to address equity and efficiency, taking into account power imbalances.

Ultimately, any successful user rights system must have stakeholder support and involvement. When fishery reforms are being considered, it is important that those directly involved contribute to a common understanding of existing institutions, the analysis of options, and the identification of specific actions. Extra care is often required in order to involve groups that may be disadvantaged and so ensure their perspective is properly considered.

 The forum noted that in inland fishery there be complex systems of overlap and sometimes competing rights with economic interest from early users of water resource, such as the electric power production diligence or farming sector (see sections Improving the evaluation of inland fisheries, p. 114, and Ten steps to responsible inland fisheries, p. 147).
