Abstract

Since the beginning of civilization, fisherfolk of coastal communities have laid claim to adjacent coastal resources. Their perceived rights to local fish stocks derive from the sustained use they have made of them. The importance of these rights has been intensified by the evolved economic dependence of coastal people on their fishery resources. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that coastal communities will be able to maintain their prerogatives of priority access to adjacent fish resources only by a vigorous collective defence of these resources as their common property.
