A background paper for a regional workshop was prepared. Case studies in 13 countries in the Asia-Pacific region were used to examine key policy and legislative issues, and a summary section of the paper presented key lessons learned and ideas about best practice for supportive policy and legislative frameworks for co-management. Poseidon staff then presented the paper at the workshop in Cambodia, provided technical input, and assisted with facilitating the workshop and writing up the workshop report.
