Abstract

This paper reviews the available literature that links regional food security to the Mekong River’s wild capture fisheries, and argues for recognition of the existing contribution that the fisheries make to regional development. With a focus on the proposed Mekong mainstream dams, it explores how decision-making on large water infrastructure should be strengthened by appropriately recognizing and accounting for basin-wide environmental, social and cultural considerations, in addition to economic factors.
