A conflict management training workshop was delivered in October 2019 in Vientiane, Laos, to fisheries practitioners. Discussions held during the workshop highlighted conflict as a key issue within community‐based fisheries management and the need for fisheries staff from various sectors, and the communities they work with, to have an understanding of conflict management concepts and related skills. Key themes of the discussions of fisheries conflict in Laos were related to property rights, lack of adherence of fishers to regulations, funding for local community activities and weak governance structures. The key learnings of the training workshop are that fisheries practitioners are dealing with social conflict in their work activities and need support in managing these conflicts, as for many fisheries professionals this work is outside their main area of expertise. There is a role for further research into fisheries conflict in Laos to provide context‐specific insight, but this must be accompanied by appropriate knowledge exchange to allow practitioners to make use of these insights for real‐world conflict management activities.

关于老挝渔业冲突管理培训讲习班的报告

2019年10月在老挝万象为渔业从业者举办了一次冲突管理培训讲习班。讲习班期间进行的讨论着重指出，冲突是社区渔业管理中的关键问题，需要来自各个部门以及与之合作的社区的渔业工作人员了解冲突管理概念和相关技能。老挝渔业冲突讨论的关键主题涉及财产权，渔民缺乏法规遵守，为当地社区活动提供资金以及治理结构薄弱。培训讲习班的主要学习成果是，渔业从业人员在工作活动中正在处理社会冲突，需要管理这些冲突的支持，对于许多渔业专业人士而言，这项工作超出了他们的主要专业领域。在老挝渔业冲突的进一步研究中可以发挥作用，以提供针对具体情况的见解，但这必须伴随适当的知识交流，以使从业者能够将这些见解用于现实世界中的冲突管理活动。
