Description

This book is the first to consolidate information on the different
routes by which these co-operative management arrangements have
evolved. The authors include anthropologists, environmental planners,
biologists, economists, fishery managers and tribal and governmental
leaders. Their contributions examine the process of achieving
co-management, the institutions created by co-management arrangements,
and the benefits which result. Some of these benefits include more
efficient and equitable management, less conflict between government
and fishermen, and better co-operation between groups of fishermen.
Co-operative Management of Local Fisheries looks at successes
and failures of these arrangements for shared decision-making and
offers guidelines for viable co-operative management.
