fi sheries and aquaculture systems require systematic and iterative assessments of
governability. The great diversity and scale of fi sheries and aquaculture situations call
for contextualized assessment. It must be proven, for instance, that governance reforms
do work to enhance governability, not just for the sector as a whole, but also where
fi sheries and aquaculture and their sub-sectors actually interact. Detailed analysis of
the causal relationship between the system-to-be-governed and the governing
system as they are experienced on the ground is therefore needed. The governability
assessment framework offers a way to undertake such an analysis.
