Key messages
- Forests and fisheries are interconnected, and both are impacted by changes in land use within watersheds.
- Watershed functions are affected by climate, land-use change, overfishing, deforestation and forest degradation.
- Riparian communities value watersheds but lack political structures for effective integrated management.
- Community-based governance of natural resources within watersheds can protect ecosystem services and support livelihoods of riparian communities.
- Even where there is little data now, actions can be taken to enhance monitoring and management of watersheds.
