The Economics of Fisheries and Aquaculture in the Coral Triangle (EFACT) is a report that consolidates primary and secondary information on fisheries and aquaculture using a regional lens and analytical tools from economics. The EFACT is an output of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Regional Technical Assistance for Regional Cooperation in Knowledge Management (KM), Policy, and Institutional Support to the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) (TA 7307-REG).
As a knowledge product derived from the project’s three years of work in the CTI, EFACT was written to inform actions and policy discourse in the implementation of the CTI regional and national plans of action (NPOAs). New knowledge was derived through primary data collection, and existing knowledge was organized and analyzed using a regional perspective and an economic lens. The report concludes with a regional call to action.
