Co-operative management of local fisheries
1989
Pinkerton, Evelyn
"Written by anthropologists, environmental planners, biologists, economists, fisheries managers, and tribal and governmental leaders, this is the first book to describe the evolution of co-operative fisheries management between fishermen and government in Canada and the USA . The contributions examine both the process of achieving co-management arrangements and the benefits that result. Some of the benefits include more efficient and equitable management, less conflict between governments and fishermen, and better co-operation between groups of fishermen. As the cost of centralized government rises, and as resource-dependent regions demand greater control over development, co-operative management will become one of the most important means of regulating the use of certain natural resources. "Co-operative management of local fisheries" looks at successes and failures in these arrangements for shared decision-making and it offers some guide-lines for viable co-operative management.
