“…Multiple examples exist where moving to government ownership, private property, or community control of a common-pool resource has worked to help users achieve more efficient shortterm results and potentially to sustain the resource over the long term. The particular arrangements that have proven to be effective, however, differ radically from one another and from the simple policy recommendations made by scholars recommending 'optimal' solutions (Rose, 2002;Tietenberg, 2002).…”

In past decades, scholars have tended to recommend 'optimal' solutions for coping with common-pool resources. Examples exist of both successful and unsuccessful efforts to establish government property, private property, or community property. The absence of any property rightsopen access -related to valuable resources is associated with overuse. The resource institutions that research has documented as working well in the field differ substantially in their detailed design but can usually be characterised as adaptive, multilevel governance systems related to complex, evolving resource systems. We need to overcome the tendency to recommend panaceas and encourage, instead, considerable experimentation at multiple levels to reduce the threats of massive collapses of valuable resources.

“…Although co-management has traditionally been seen as a relationship between the government and a community or group of resource users, others have broadened this conception to include market-based management (Rose 2002;Tietenbert 2002;Yandle 2003). From this perspective, "co-management is not envisioned as a replacement for central government, nor is it incompatible with existing market-based systems; it is a supplement to these decision-making processes" (Plummer and Fitzgibbon 2004, 63).…”

Managing water through change and uncertainty: comparing lessons from the adaptive co-management literature to recent policy developments in England

Water management is set to become increasingly variable and unpredictable, in particular because of climate change. This paper investigates the extent to which water policy in England provides an enabling environment for 'adaptive comanagement', which its proponents claim can achieve the dual objective of ecosystem protection and livelihood sustainability under conditions of change and uncertainty. Five policy categories are derived from a literature review, and are used to conduct a directed content analysis of seven key water policy documents. The findings reveal that although, in part, English water policy serves as an enabling environment for adaptive co-management, there is a level of discrepancy between substantive aspects of the five policy categories and water policy in England. Addressing these discrepancies will be important if English water policy is to allow for the emergence of processes, like adaptive co-management, that are capable of coping with the challenges that lie ahead.

“…ITQbased fisheries management is analogous to emissions trading in environmental protection "capand-trade" systems (Tietenberg, 2002). Briefly, what happens is that some entity-a government agency most likely-decides on an overall total allowable catch (TAC).…”

Two important new directions in resource and environmental management are increased reliance on market mechanisms on the one hand, and on greater participation by local communities on the other. In fisheries, market-based management is found mainly in the "cap-and-trade" systems known as individual transferable quotas (ITQs). ITQs are effective in achieving certain economic goals but often with undesirable social costs, leading to the view that they are antithetical to community-based management. However, ITQ systems have been adapted to mitigate community losses. In addition, social resistance to ITQs has encouraged the development of innovative programs in communitybased fisheries management.
