Participatory planning (PP) is a powerful tool in formulating development projects as well as conservation ones. However, there are few studies and practices being done by using PP for the purpose of fishery management and coastal conservation. This paper describes an attempt to enhance planning capacity of fishery planners from various countries. A new model training system that focused on providing participants were applied with the planning tools and opportunity for designing an action plan to solve a set of problems they are facing. Ten fishery development projects as well as biodiversity conservation projects were generated. Each plan was equipped with the clear objectives, means to achieve objectives and associated risks to the projects. Participants have improved their capability of fishery planning and recognized the usefulness of this approach about development planning. Further assistance to develop these seed projects was suggested.
