Blue Justice and the co-production of hermeneutical resources for small-scale fisheries
Blue Justice emerges as a counternarrative to the promise and commitment to Blue Economy and Blue Growth by shifting imperatives for growth and innovation to the central role played by small-scale fisheries and social justice in sustainable ocean development. To instrument Blue Justice, it is important to understand injustices experienced by small-scale fisheries people which can range from accusations of disregard for the environment to equating…
Interactive Learning and Governance Transformation for Securing Blue Justice for Small-Scale Fisheries
In the “Future We Want,” states and non-state actors are invited to contribute to achieving sustainable development goals through various means and mechanisms. This includes securing justice for the most marginalized and disadvantaged sectors like small-scale fisheries, whose rights and access to resources are threatened by Blue Economy/Growth initiatives. While strong and just institutions are imperative to securing sustainable small-scale fishe…
Securing a Just Space for Small-Scale Fisheries in the Blue Economy
The vast development opportunities offered by the world’s coasts and oceans have attracted the attention of governments, private enterprises, philanthropic organizations and international conservation organizations. High-profile dialogue and policy decisions on ocean futures are informed largely by economic and ecological research. Key insights from the social sciences raise concerns for food and nutrition security, livelihoods and social justice…
Reconciling human rights and customary law
The Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines) introduce a human rights framework for fisheries management and development, suggesting an inclusive approach that embraces a range of rights, regimes and interests. These reflect diverse systems of law, values and norms, straddling both customary and statutory systems of governance and tenure. The interface between these different systems poses questions abo…

Legal Pluralism and the Governability of Fisheries and Coastal Systems
Conditions for, and limits of, governability of fisheries and coastal systems cannot be properly understood without an examination of legal pluralism. Governing systems that do not take legal pluralism into account are likely to fail. This article discusses how interactive governance theory and legal pluralism may benefit from each other and how legal pluralism can be assessed from a governability perspective. Interactive governance theory offers…
Freedom and poverty in the fishery commons
In fisheries, alleviating poverty sometimes requires strategies that are inherently in conflict. When aiming to develop a fishery as a means to reduce poverty, its common pool resource basis might be undermined, resulting in greater poverty. But poverty in fisheries is also linked to, or a part of deeper social issues and processes, for instance, the marginalization and exclusion of certain communities. Poverty also has many factors— income, heal…

Fisheries and coastal governance as a wicked problem
Fisheries Co-Management and Legal Pluralism
This paper addresses two issues pertaining to legal pluralism in capture fisheries, particularly with regard to the South. First there is the problem of analysis. If legal pluralism is a common phenomenon, how is it to be discerned and understood? Secondly, there is the matter of institutional design: given the pervasiveness of legal pluralism, which management institutions are better suited to represent and resolve inter-legal system differences…
Meta‐governance
Meta‐governance – or governance of governance – is a concept that raises questions regarding how values, norms and principles underpin governance systems and governing approaches. Values, norms and principles pertain both to substantive governance issues, for instance, related to sustainable resource use, and to governance system issues in themselves, for instance, regarding their institutional design. This article deals primarily with the latter…

Governability Assessment for Fisheries and Coastal Systems
In the Power of Power
As with other forms of governance, fisheries, and coastal management rests ultimately on power; power to decide, enforce, and implement management decisions. Power is in this sense a productive force. Without it, managers could not do their job. But power can also be disruptive, corruptive, and, hence, negative. It can be used to block management initiatives and/or to make management serve special interests, creating thus inequity and injustice. …

This is a study of Northern Norway and Atlantic Canada, two regions experiencing a severe crisis due to overexploitation of fisheries resources. The work of a group of researchers from Canada, Norway, and the United States, it examines the implications of common market integration, privatized resource management, and small business development policies for fishery-dependent communities in terms of long-term sustainability and participatory democr…

Market or Community Failure? Critical Perspectives on Common Property Research
The best known revisionist perspective on the so-called tragedy of the commons underscores important conceptual and hence policy errors and has been important in contributing to understanding of conditions in which collective action for common benefits, with respect to common pool resources, can take place. Characterizing this perspective as a thin or abstract, generalizing explanatory model, with strengths and weaknesses thereby, we discuss a th…

Co‐management"; is among several slogans used to indicate a dissatisfaction with present systems and a movement to more decentralized systems of marine resource management. The authors note the necessary distinction between decentralization and participatory management and use comparative analyses of case studies of fisheries management systems in Scandinavian and North American countries and New Zealand to explore potentials for both decentraliz…

The Veiled Crew
This paper explores the fit between the reported and the desired contributions of wives to household small boat fishing enterprises. The research employed a double comparative design: 1) a regional comparison of fisheries-dependent households in North Norway and Nova Scotia, and 2) a dyadic gender comparison of the viewpoints of wives and husbands. Our findings reveal several patterns. First, wives in both regions participate substantially in the…
Fisheries Co-operatives
The co-operative mode of organization has been regarded as the ideal way to solve problems of coordination and management within the fisheries, at least from the fishermen's point of view. By taking control over processing, marketing and sometimes financing, fishermen hoped to break the relation with private fish-buyers and merchants, thereby freeing themselves from exploitation and external control. Fishery co-operatives have been established in…

Cooperatives in fisheries management
Using a case study from St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) of the Caribbean region, the authors discuss the problems and potential of vesting fisheries management responsibility with cooperative organizations. In SVG, fishing cooperatives at the present stage are far from capable of handling management functions, and they need to be strengthened at the local and national level before this is possible. To be effective as co‐managers, fishers’ co…

Self and Sacrifice
Small boat fishers have often been characterized as uncooperative individualists resistant to forming and sustaining representative organizations. This essay argues that small boat fishers are a heterogeneous group expressive of divergent and often conflicting ideologies and behaviors. We contend that the character and play of these differences impact directly upon the dynamics in and outcomes for representative organizations such as producer coo…
