Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The article is a reply to the general demand for rights-based fisheries as the solution to fisheries problems in many developing countries. With examples from Vietnam, Indonesia, Mozambique and South Africa it is shown that the `classical solution' of closing the fisheries as followed by Norway and many other industrialised countries, is not possible in many developing fishing nations. Closing access and redirecting fishers to other occupations are not viable options in the short run. Closing may instead harm the poorest, the ones most dependent on the open access nature of these resources. Based on this dilemma, the article discusses various alternative management options, trying to meet the challenge of providing `fishing rights to the right people'.
