The Role Of Fisheries Management In Mitigating Conflict Resulting From Fisheries Depletion

Abstract

This thesis examines the effects of management style on conflict between fisheries users, looking at Tanzania and South Africa as case studies. Research indicates that management programs that incorporate local communities while retaining a level of national support are more likely to be successful in enforcing rules and regulations, promoting sustainability, and reducing incidents of conflict between users. Nationally based programs that exclude local communities from management roles risk alienating local fisheries users and increasing violations and conflict. In a world of drastically expanding fisheries exploitation, management style will become increasingly important in ensuring that competition between users remains peaceful and fisheries resources are available for continued use.
