What is conceptualizing?

Conceptualization refers to thearticulation of thoughts, ideas, orhunches and the representation of

these in some objective form.

Policy solutions can varydepending on how a problem

is conceptualized. It is nowbecoming increasinglydebating in international fish

trade negotiations

Approaches to fisheries management

Fishery Science => Resource, Activity

Human Science => Resource, activity, Actor

System Approach => Physical Biosphere, Social

Steps of conceptualization

Preparation : getting details on the issue,

defining purpose.

Generation : brainstorming, causal analysis. Structuring: Clubbing of causes.

Representation: Mapping of causes.

Interpretation: Explaining the map.

Preparation of statement/ note.

Setting Objectives and Goals

Sustainability Condition:

Benefit = Cost for all stakeholders

Best framed when broad-baseconsultation and scientific evidencesare taken into account.

Should take precautionary approach
