Abstract

The expansion of the scope of fishery management from single species to ecosystems requires more than a set of rules for multiple species. It requires sets of institutions and property rights regimes that reflect the attributes of the ecosystem and its human users, value ecosystem services as well as ecosystem commodities, and coordinate interest groups and managers on a broad ecosystem scale. Institutions that properly coordinate the human use of ecosystems have several functions. They must create management structures that promote the definition of multiple objectives and coordinate oganizational tasks in a cost-effective way. The must also create management processes that are legitimate, flexible, and promote socially appropriate time horizons that recognize intergenerational rights to resource use. Each these functions has economic dimensions that are critical to their successful implementation.
