Traditional marine tenure: A basis for artisanal fisheries management

Christopher Dahl

Marine Policy, 1988, vol. 12, issue 1, 40-48

Abstract: There has been increasing interest in using traditional forms of marine resource ownership as models for fisheries management regimes that offer an alternative to open access. Based on earlier research on the traditional marine tenure systems of four Micronesian atolls, this article presents and analyses five social conditions thought to be crucial in the maintenance of these systems. This analysis is used as a basis for a discussion of the potential for using traditional marine resource ownership in the development of management regimes for artisanal fisheries.
