The objectives of this study were to study the level of participation of fishermen on the seasonal closure measures and to study factors that influence and have relationship with the participation of fishermen. This study covered part of the Gulf of Thailand in the vicinity of Prachuab Kiri Khan, Chumporn and Surat Thani Provinces. Three hundred and eight fishermen were used as sample size in this study. The interview technique with structured questionnaire was used as the method for data collection. The results showed that approximately half of fishermen samples had low level of participation in the seasonal closure measures and low and medium level in planning and evaluation in the measures respectively. For factors influencing their participation on gender, types of fishing gear groups, the result showed that there was a significant difference. With particular reference to social status, the result showed that there was a difference at a highly significant level.
