Abstract

This paper analyses some of the challenges to gaining the agreement and cooperation of fishers with NTZs. These are considered as collective action problems (CAPs), i.e. the general challenges that must be addressed and overcome if actors are to collectively govern CPRs. The CPR literature argues that such CAPs must be overcome, through the re-design of institutional arrangements, if more collaborative management (hereafter co-management) initiatives are to be effective. There is growing interest in the potential of co-management as a means of achieving sustainable marine fisheries management on the basis that such governance approaches, whereby the state and the fishing industry work on a partnership rather than adversarial basis, are essential given the evident failure of top-down government approaches. However, if such governance approaches are to be pursued, including even partial fulfilment of the IUCN targets through the designation of more NTZs, it will be necessary to overcome the CAPs posed by NTZs. This paper focuses on the CAPs posed by NTZs, in particular those related to seven issues: divergent aims; predictability; different knowledges; role of advocacy; locality; level of decision-making; and enforceability.
