Use of Property Rights in Fisheries Management: Workshop Presentations v. 2 (FAO Fisheries Technical Paper)

Part 2 of these proceedings contains papers of presentations made during the workshop sessions, addressing national experiences in the design, implementation and modification of rights-based systems of fisheries management. The presentations included those made from the perspective of the fishing industry, government policy-makers and administrators and the legal implications as a consequence of national systems of law. Those concerned with the social and economic implications of this form of management reviewed the implications for communities affected by such changes in fisheries management approach. Many papers describe specific national implementation experiences, both positive and negative, and national programme successes and "less-than-successes". Other papers deal with the social, economic and legal theory appertaining to this form of management.
