    abstract = {This study investigated the drivers and strategies for
managing fishery conflicts in Fadama fishing communities in
Adamawa state. The study employed descriptive research design
and employed a purposive sampling technique to select 309 fishers
from 4 fishing communities in the Fadama areas of Adamawa state
which include: Bagale, Rugange, Bilanchi and Dansin Biratiye.
The categories of participants selected for the study include:
community leaders (37); male fishers (134); female fishers (46);
fish marketers (49) and fish processors and preservators (41). Data
was collected through a quantitative questionnaire and analysed
through standard deviation. The study established the factors that
drive fishery conflict in the fishing communities in Adamawa state
to include: competition over jurisdiction between local and outside
fishers; stealing of fishing gears; violation of community fishing
rules and regulations; volume of water bodies due to effects of
climate which heighten competition between actors in fishing
communities and limited fish resources among others. In order to
constructively manage fisheries resources in sustainable manner,
compromise and collaboration conflict management strategies
were recommended to promote a culture co-management of
fisheries resources in the Fadama areas of Adamawa state and
other areas where fishery conflict are endemic in Nigeria.}
