“…In the context of this fishery, poaching is the illegal harvest of stalked barnacles. It is a complex phenomenon that has been classified in detail by Ballesteros and Rodríguez-Rodríguez 2018 [3]. During the workshop certain types of poaching, likely those perceived as the most common and/or harmful, were mentioned by the participants.…”

“…During the discussions, poaching surfaced as the main issue common to all regions, with systemic effects on all aspects of the fishery. Despite its relevance, poaching in the stalked barnacle fishery has only been investigated in Galicia [3][4][5][6][7], where this complex phenomenon causes significant economic losses [8]. In Asturias and in Portugal, poaching of P. pollicipes has only been indirectly addressed [9,10], whereas in France poaching is only mentioned in the news.…”

Coping with poachers in European stalked barnacle fisheries: Insights from a stakeholder workshop

In January 2020, a stakeholder workshop was organized as a knowledge sharing strategy among European stalked barnacle fisheries. Management of this fishery differs greatly among regions and ranges from less organized and governed at large scales (>100 km, coasts of SW Portugal and Brittany in France) to highly participatory systems which are co-managed at small spatial scales (10 ′ s km and less, Galicia and Asturias). Discussions revealed that poaching is ubiquitous, hard to eradicate, and adapts to all types of management. The stakeholders identified some key management initiatives in the fight against poaching: granting professional harvesters with exclusive access to the resource, increasing social capital among harvesters through tenure systems (e.g. Territorial Use Rights in Fisheries) that empower them as stewards of their resource and intensification of surveillance with the active participation of the harvesters. Furthermore, increased cooperation between fishers associations and regional fisheries authorities, improved legal frameworks, adoption of new technologies and the implementation of market-based solutions can also help coping with this systemic problem.

“…On the other hand, user perceptions can also be influenced by a subject and personal interest in the matter [5]. A management measure can be perceived as negative or unfair from an individual or community point of view even when that rule is consistently tested as necessary, either socioeconomically or environmentally [8].…”

“…Therefore, knowledge creation, diffusion and application takes place in a specific area bounded by institutions, values, rules and even expectations. In other words, knowledge is context-specific [7][8][9][10]. Consequently, the closer the knowledge base is, the closer the knowledge output and more opportunities for knowledge exchange and dialogue emerge.…”

On the Role of Perception: Understanding Stakeholders’ Collaboration in Natural Resources Management through the Evolutionary Theory of Innovation

Natural resources management deals with highly complex socioecological systems. This complexity raises a conundrum, since wide-ranging knowledge from different sources and types is needed, but at the same time none of these types of knowledge is able by itself to provide the basis for a viable productive system, and mismatches between the two of them are common. Therefore, a growing body of literature has examined the integration of different types of knowledge in fisheries management. In this paper, we aim to contribute to this ongoing debate by integrating the evolutionary theory of innovation—and specifically the concept of proximity—and the theory of perception. We set up a theoretical framework that is able to explain not only why the different types of knowledge differ, but also why they should differ and why this divergence is useful to develop fisheries management. This framework is illustrated through a well-known complex scenario, as was the implementation of the Landing Obligation (LO) in Europe. We conclude that diversity (distance) between types of knowledge is essential for interactive learning, innovation, the incorporation of new ideas or to avoid lock-in, etc. At the same time, cognitive, institutional, geographical, etc. proximity is needed for effective communication, participation and dialogue.

“…social control, sanction certainty and sanction severity) are the main factors influencing compliance (Vandenbergh, 2003;Tyler, 2006;Rohe et al, 2017;Battista et al, 2018;Al-Qartoubi et al, 2020;Oyanedel et al, 2020b). Some studies emphasize the importance of law enforcement (Heyes, 2000;Rousseau and Proost, 2005;Sparrow, 2011), while others investigate the factors of noncompliance (Chavez and Salgado, 2005;Boonstra et al, 2017;Cepi c and Nunan, 2017;Ballesteros and Rodr ıguez-Rodr ıguez, 2018;Bergseth and Roscher, 2018).…”

PurposeThis study integrates fishers’ and decision-makers’ views on the critical factors for non-compliance in the artisanal fisheries of Oman.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire survey was implemented covering all coastal governorates of Oman. The questionnaires for fishers and decision-makers contained 46 and 43 questions, respectively, divided into various sections based on the Table of Eleven. Compliance factors were divided into spontaneous factors and enforcement factors. The data were collected through 1,242 questionnaires (1,125 fishers and 117 decision-makers).FindingsThe results indicated that spontaneous compliance factors (e.g. financial/economic, level of knowledge and social norms) and enforced compliance factors (e.g. social control, sanction certainty and sanction severity) have a significant influence on fishers' motivation to comply with regulations. The chi-square test (X2) was used to show that the differences between the means of responses of fishers and decision-makers in regard to the factors that influence non-compliance in the fishery were insignificant.Originality/valueThis consistency of opinions has an essential policy inference for the regulatory institutions in that it delivers assistance and trust in fisheries management authority's efforts to create effective compliance plans for the fisheries.
