Abstract
Fisheries co-management, like any powerful idea, has a history of both antecedent ideas and of practical successes and failures. Appreciating co-management means understanding its family history, where it came from and who its cousins are. This section of the book traces how co-management emerged from the main branches of its family tree: the participatory community development efforts that are its closest programmatic cousins and the disciplines of fisheries science, economics and social science that make up the knowledge base of fisheries management as a whole. This chapter examines participatory community development programmes and how ideas that significantly influence fisheries co-management today developed through the history of these efforts.
