“…Fair implies the distribution process itself, while equitable is the outcome of the distribution process (Herod, 2003). According to Adjer and Luttrell (2000), under an equitable distribution of benefits among user groups, there is likely to be successful resource management and less conflict. Wong and Dufrene (2001) developed three test requirements which a fair distributive procedure must meet.…”

“…Conflict over access and use of resources is a common phenomenon threatening sustainable use of resources at local, regional and international levels (USAID, 2005;Adjer & Luttrell, 2000;Mulonga & Murphy, 2003;Arntzen et al, 2003;Kiss, 2004;Buckles & Rusnak, 1999;Bennett et al, 2001). It arises when there are varied interests of people in particular resources (Yasmi et al, 2006;Sigh, 2002;Bennett et al, 2001;Hilborn, 2007).…”

Fishing is one of the key livelihood activities in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Subsistence fishers, commercial fishers and tourist lodge operators derive material and non-material benefits from fishery. However open access fishing has resulted in intergroup conflicts. The objectives of the study were to describe the nature of the fishing conflict and to suggest feasible conflict management strategies. A questionnaire based survey conducted among subsistence fishers, commercial fishers in four villages and among tourist lodge operators in the Panhandle of the Okavango Delta found that fishing in common grounds was the main source of conflict between commercial and recreational fishing. The paper discusses options for managing the conflict to avoid undesired consequences on the fishery resources of the Okavango Delta.

“…Total production Fisheries production Aquaculture production (total) Aquaculture production (marine) Increase of aquaculture production since 1980 (8-fold) Stagnation of the fisheries production resources (Davis and Bailey 1996;Adger and Luttrell 2000). Thus, the rise of aquaculture production has speciWcally taken place in developing countries, especially in Asia, which holds approximately 91.4% of the global production share (Rana 1997;Lee and Turk 1998;FAO 2006).…”

Meeting the quest for spatial efficiency: progress and prospects of extensive aquaculture within offshore wind farms

Along the German North Sea coast, the observed high spatial competition of stakeholders has encouraged the idea of integrating open ocean aquaculture in conjunction with oVshore wind farms beyond the 12 miles zone. The article provides an overview on the current state of transdisciplinary research on a potential implementation of such a multifunctional use concept on a showcase basis, covering biological, technical, economic and social/policy aspects as well as private-public partnerships and the relevant institutional bodies. We show that the cultivation of seaweeds and blue mussels is biologically and technically feasible in a high-energy environment using modiWed cultivation strategies. The point of departure of our multi-use concept was that the solid groundings of wind turbines could serve as attachment points for the aquaculture installations and become the key to the successful commercial cultivation of any oVshore aquatic organism. However, spaces in between the turbines are also attractive for farming projects, since public access is restricted and thus the cultivation site protected from outside inXuences. An economic analysis of diVerent operation scenarios indicates that the market price and the annual settlement success of juvenile mussels are the main factors that determine the breakeven point. Social and policy science research reveals that the integration of relevant actors into the development of a multi-use concept for a wind farm-mariculture interaction is a complex and controversial issue. Combining knowledge and experience of wind farm planners as well as mussel Wshermen and mariculturists within the framework of national and EU policies is probably the most important component for designing and developing an eVective oVshore co-management regime to limit the consumption of ocean space.

“…As a natural and sustainable resource, wetlands continue (Adger & Luttrell, 2000;Arı & Derinöz, 2011;Yeniyurt, Hemmami, Çağırankaya & Koopmanschap, 2011;Cağırankaya et al, 2013;Muluk et al, 2013) to be beneficial (Bond et al, 1992;Brouwer et al, 1999) since the early existence of the human race. One third of the human population use coastal wetlands in one way or another throughout their lives (Özen & Beklioğlu, 2007).…”

This study, analyzing the sustainable use of fisheries in Lake Marmara, was conducted in Gölmarmara, a town of Manisa. The study makes use of contingent valuation method to calculate the monetary values which fishers who are actively using the lake are willing to pay in order for a sustainable use of the lake. For this purpose, data were collected through faceto-face interviews made with 55 of the 130 commercial fishers active in the lake. Variables affecting fishers' acceptance of extra payment were found to be: knowing the lake is a natural protection zone, education, experience in fishing, income, vessel ownership and retirement status. Of the 55 fishers interviewed, 96% (53 fishers) believe that the lake is under a threat in terms of fisheries while 50 fishers (90%) are willing to pay for the sustainability and improvement of the fisheries in the lake (18,681 TRY ($ 6,912) in total per year). The calculated willingness to pay (WTP) per fisher averages 143.7 TRY per year. With this study, fishers have proven that they will take on responsibility in creating the required data and budget to establish a sustainable fisheries management and prepare management plans.
