Biography
Caroline Garaway obtained her PhD investigating the management and impacts of community-led fisheries enhancement in Lao PDR in1999. As a Post Doc at Imperial College London and a social development consultant to MRAG ltd, her interest in the human ecology of living aquatic resource use and management led to her working in many parts of the world on DfID research projects (Lao PDR, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand , the Caribbean, and West Bengal) both as a Principal Investigator and a short term consultant.This work focused on understanding the human/environment interactions of many different systems including Inland Fisheries Enhancement Systems; Marine Protected Areas; Riverine Reserves and Irrigated Farmer-managed Aquatic Systems.With a strong interest in Action Orientated Research, an important feature of this work has been ensuring a wide range of counterparts are actively engaged in projects, from individual households within rural communities through to government staff. Caroline has continued much of this work after joining UCL in 2004 and, most recently, has been conducting research on the importance of ricefield aquatic biodiversity to rural livelihoods in Lao PDR.

20 years research experience working both individually and within multidisciplinary teams. Research has focused on several key interests.
- Development of integrated frameworks for multidisciplinary analysis of natural resource management initiatives. As a social scientist frequently working with natural scientists, one of my key concerns has been to develop ways to frame inquiry in order that the different disciplines can be most usefully combined.
- Investigation of the impacts of common pool natural resource management initiatives, on different stakeholder groups, particularly those who are traditionally most dependent on them. Investigation has been carried out in inland waterbodies in Thailand and Lao PDR using a variety of traditional household surveys and PRA/RRA techniques.
- Investigation of the factors that contribute to the successful supply of, and commitment to, institutions for improved resource management with a particular focus on the factors that encourage/constrain local user community involvement in management. Such institutional research has been conducted in several studies in Lao PDR (inland fisheries enhancement initiatives, irrigation schemes), in Thailand (inland fisheries enhancement initiatives) and in Indonesia (riverine harvest reserves).
- Investigation into the relative merits of different data collection techniques, in particular comparative evaluations of results from traditional survey techniques against those from newer ‘participatory’ methods.
- Investigation of the importance of aquatic biodiversity in rice field habitats
- Conservation. Development/tourism trade-offs in MPA’s
