Abstract

The purpose of this paper is discuss the role of government, primarily national government, in fisheries co-management. This paper investigates the critical role of decentralization in a strategy of co-management using a number of international cases. The experiences of co-management and decentralization provide for a number of policy implications to be drawn concerning the role of government.

Addressing complexity and diversity in the sustainable transitions of spiny lobster fisheries in Quintana Roo, Mexico
2024, Earth System Governance
This study articulates five dimensions of territorial governance (social capital, leadership, transparency, accountability, socioenvironmental innovations, and commercialization routes) to construct a tripartite typology that helps explain the diverse sustainable transitions of small-scale fisheries in specific territorial contexts. The types are: 1) participative-inclusive governance expressed in solid institutions dedicated to environmental conservation; 2) exclusive-conflictive governance which generates institutions that are fragile for environmental conservation; and 3) transitional governance toward inclusion and responsible fishing, seen in communities that are implementing social and organizational changes to reduce overexploitation of fishing resources. Intensive fieldwork was conducted in localities devoted to spiny lobster fishing along the coast of Quintana Roo. We also held 106 interviews with key actors in governance. Results show that articulating intra- and extra-territorial networks is vitally important in developing the kinds of socioenvironmental innovations that can help local fishermen respond to the multiple environmental, economic, and political contingencies that affect their territories. We conclude that it is necessary to articulate institutional changes on various territorial scales to propel sustainable transitions that are realistic and feasible for small-scale fishers in marginalized communities in countries of the Global South.
Vulnerability assessment of the pink shrimp small-scale fishery to climate change in southwestern Atlantic brackish coastal lagoons (Uruguay)
2023, Ocean and Coastal Management
Assessing vulnerability using semi-quantitative approaches provide an opportunity to analyze conditions of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of socio-ecological systems concerning climate change drivers and anthropogenic factors. We assessed the vulnerability of the small-scale pink shrimp fishery of Castillos and Rocha lagoons, two coastal Uruguayan ecosystems of the southwest Atlantic, considering social factors and climate change drivers which affect atmospheric-oceanographic conditions regionally and locally. Using a risk approach, we evaluated the ecological system's exposure to environmental drivers. Then we estimated the sensitivity and adaptive capacity of fishers and the local community (social system). High vulnerability found for this fishery results from a combination of large-scale environmental drivers impacting the ecological system, and social factors causing high sensitivity and low adaptive capacity of the social system. High risk level with adverse ecosystem effects triggered by climate change drivers acting on the distribution of this migratory crustacean in the southwest Atlantic region could promote adverse consequences on harvest duration and shrimp catch levels in the Uruguayan coastal lagoons. Fishers and their communities showed high sensitivity to a set of (demographic, economic, governance, cultural and technological) factors. The social system of both lagoons showed a low adaptive capacity to prevent social impacts or to mitigate climate change hazards. A broad set of social indicators was identified in Rocha lagoon to enhance fishers and community resilience, while the indicator set was narrower in Castillos lagoon. Lastly, weak governance, dormant fisheries laws, non-compliance of fisheries regulations and lack of climate early warning monitoring hamper the adaptability of these small-scale fisher communities under global change scenarios. Comparative evaluation of spatial, environmental and social settings between lagoons can offer lessons for upscaling the assessment and adaptation measures to other small-scale fisheries regionally and globally.
Documenting fisheries co-management in action: Case of the Grand Cape Mount County Co-Management Association, Liberia
2023, Marine Policy
In a world of increasing uncertainties associated with the overexploitation of natural resources, collaborative (or co-) management regimes have been touted as a promising mechanism to build resilience and provide positive and equitable outcomes to the communities that rely on these social-ecological systems. Assessments of co-management associations (CMAs), particularly in fisheries in West Africa, is still nascent and show mixed results. Here, using archival research and stakeholder interviews, we document the experience of the Grand Cape Mount County Co-Management Association, the first of its kind in Liberia. The CMA has gained a number of achievements including: consolidation and reconciliation between resource user groups; addressing illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; establishing rescue missions; and conflict resolution. However, ongoing challenges regarding lack of political will from central government, financing, decision-making practices, and leadership structures persist. Based on the lessons learned from these experiences, we offer several recommendations for the expansion of CMAs in Liberia, and in similar contexts elsewhere.
Framework for fostering just and equitable seagrass policy, management, and social-ecological outcomes: Lessons learned from Belizean marine resource managers
2023, Marine Policy
Seagrass beds have historically received little to no management attention, contributing to significant declines in their extent globally. Recently, seagrass beds, and other blue carbon ecosystems, have gained greater management attention due to their potentially critical role in climate mitigation. Therefore, some countries, such as Belize in 2021, have included blue carbon ecosystems within their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). To date, no specific regulations exist to manage seagrass beds in Belize; however, there is a plan to develop a national seagrass policy. In support of this effort and to gain a better understanding of institutions' current knowledge and perceptions regarding seagrass beds and their management, as well their experiences with community engagement, we conducted interviews with six Belizean management institutions (two government departments, four non-government organizations) involved in marine resource management. Respondents perceived seagrass beds as important, identifying climate mitigation and fisheries as critical ecosystem services. They saw the importance of managing and protecting seagrass beds, and identified several direct (e.g., dredging) and indirect (e.g., land-based pollution) threats. Also highlighted were several management challenges, with governance structure identified as a major one; seagrass beds can fall under the purview of several government departments, which has jurisdictional implications. Interviewees discussed challenges and opportunities regarding community engagement, and they desired greater community inclusion within marine resource management at planning and implementation phases. Based on these findings, we build on existing management frameworks to present one that can foster just and equitable seagrass policy, management, and social-ecological outcomes.
Not satisfactory, but still acceptable: Exploring socioeconomic incentives of individual quota systems in Japanese Pacific bluefin tuna fisheries from the management leaders’ perspective
2023, Marine Policy
The individual quota (IQ) system is a rights-based management system that has been implemented in many countries, despite its lack of quota transferability. The purpose of this study was to explore the incentives behind the introduction of a non-transferable IQ system from the management leaders’ perspective through comparative case study of three Japanese Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) fisheries with different community units. In 2019–2020, process tracing was conducted through semi-structured interviews with fisheries management staff, prefectural governments, and fishing cooperative associations who play an important role in introducing the IQ system in each community. In each case, in order to set allocations and to manage catch quotas, local fishers could participate in the council or by attending meetings. With a high priority for complying with the defined PBF catch quotas, the IQ system was finally introduced, either as a standalone system or combined with other management methods. While the non-transferable IQ systems in the case studies were not necessarily selected as satisfactory, but still considered acceptable, our data suggests that socioeconomic incentives, including revenue improvement and ensuring equity, were important. These incentives were not triggered by the system per se, but were due to a well-functioning co-management system. Recently, there has been a shift from voluntary IQ systems to government-led ones based on the revised Fisheries Act. Future trends should continue to be monitored, as government-led systems have stricter rules that may hamper the socioeconomic incentives described above.
Alternatives to sustainable seafood certifications: Transitions of small-scale fisheries governance in northeastern Japan
2023, Journal of Rural Studies
Landscape pressures in fisheries governance systems ranging from the impacts of climate change to the detrimental impacts of overfishing are beginning to pressure regime actors to act. One way regime actors have responded to fisheries issues is through the promotion of sustainable seafood certification. In this paper, we utilize the Pathway for Transitions (Geels and Schot, 2007) as a theoretical lens to examine how the sustainable seafood certification innovation represents a transformation pathway through regime actors' power. In addition, we bring light to alternative niche groups which base their governance strategies on local ecological knowledge and work to be inclusive of small-scale fishers. In many traditional fishing communities in Japan, local knowledge structures regarding social-ecological systems are crucial for sustainable governance. While some studies have been done on sustainable seafood certification, how they impact local knowledge structures has yet to be fully examined. We found, despite local knowledge structures theoretically acknowledged, powerful political-economic actors do not draw from them, but instead push for sustainable seafood certification as a way to cope with external shocks. Our research illuminates three groups which highlight important aspects of sustainable governance at the niche level, demonstrating the need to incorporate power dynamics as a factor in sustainability transitions. They include; 1) a NGO actively governing through local knowledge, 2) inclusive governance activities, and, 3) a platform for small-scale fishers’ agency. If regime-level innovations, such as sustainable seafood certification, continue to determine how sustainability should be practiced, local knowledge structures will be lost to standardization. We contend that by acknowledging and utilizing local knowledge from local actors, it could contribute to a more just form of governance through equitable participation of small-scale fishers and their local ecological knowledge validated.
