The primary objectives of the survey were to carry out systematic field observations, data collection, and documentation in accordance with established scientific methods. The team focused on reviewing project implementation at the local level, validating monitoring results, and directly engaging with fishers who have been key contributors to the JAIF Project.
The information gathered during this activity will support the final evaluation of the JAIF Project and provide important inputs for shaping future initiatives aimed at ensuring the sustainable management of tropical anguillid eel resources in Southeast Asia.
