This paper focuses on social responses among resource users to environmental feedback. The objective is to compare lobster fishing in Maine, USA with lobster fishing in Belize, Central America in this context. These two cases are interesting as they are often cited as collective action successes with high yields compared to their neighbours. The first part of the paper describes the methods and data used for the comparison. The results section is divided into three parts: changes in catches and possible causes; management of the resource; and the fishing community and governance. Similarities and differences are presented and then further discussed in relation to conservation and fisheries, management of the social dimension and social responses for dealing with change.
