Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to document the process used by the Fiji Locally Managed Marine-Area (FLMMA) Network to train communities in simple biological monitoring and data presentation and to develop a biological monitoring plan for their projects. The contents of each session and tools used in this training manual have previously been trialed and tested in several other FLMMA sites and further refinement was applied in this community biological monitoring training for five FLMMA project sites at Tagaqe village on March 4-7, 2003.
