Abstract

For centuries, the French institution of Prud’homie (the tribunal of wise or reputable men, elected by the fishing community; from the Latin, probi homines) has adapted itself to the times, more or less comfortably, in ways that preserve the artisanal activity of fishing communities in France. Until the start of the 1960s, the responsibility for managing fisheries in their localities was conferred to the Prud’homies, who shared out amongst the members of their communities, access rights to marine resources and local fishing areas.
