Swedish coastal fisheries--From conflict mitigation to participatory management

Karl Bruckmeier and Christina Höj Larsen

Marine Policy, 2008, vol. 32, issue 2, 201-211

Abstract: Several research projects have studied Swedish coastal fishery to investigate the conflict between seals and fishery. In recent years, a strategy of participation by means of co-management has been unfolding. Realising that maintaining the coastal fishery requires societal support and knowledge integration, attempts have been made to introduce the principle of participatory management into the centralised Swedish fisheries management system. However, this co-management approach, presently implemented in six pilot projects, will take a long time to develop through a sustained process of experimentation and improvement.
