Interacciones de gobernanza en las pesquerías a pequeña escala de Galicia: percepciones y dinámicas en las cofradías de pescadores

Abstract

Small-scale fisheries have specific dynamics in the relationships between resource systems, governance systems and actors. In Galicia, this reality has a central point in the organization of fishermen and shell fishermen in the so-called Cofradías, associative entities with administrative recognition and participation in the fishery resources management. These organisations have a public-private nature, where members share and benefit from the use and exploitation of the marine resources.In this scenario, the paper studies the governance interactions in the small-scale fisheries of Galicia, based on the cofradías perceptions as governance actors. Specifically, the case study analyses the changes in the management of the activities developed by the cofradías, such as production and commercialization, and the influence of the Public Administration and other social entities in the organization. To advance these objectives, the institutional analysis frameworks are applied, specifically the socio-ecological system of E. Ostrom and the governability assessment framework of Jentoft and Chuenpagdee, which allow to study concrete realities without being limited to a specific structure.
