Abstract:
|
"Co-management is an evolving method of managing natural resources that involves the sharing of management responsibility and/or authority of a resource between the government as owners of the resource, and the local community as users of the resource. Co-management arrangements blend together two 'pure' management alternatives of state-level management and 'local-level management'. There is no one set form of co-management. Rather, co-management occurs across a broad spectrum of possibilities of power sharing depending on country and site-specific conditions. The following paper presents an approach used to measure a coastal co-management project in the Philippines. Although much literature exists on the theoretical components and benefits of co-management, comparatively few co-management agreements have been documented to determine if co-management works effectively, and the effects co-management has on the resource and resource users. To further understand the results of co-management applications, studying effective and operating co-management arrangements will be invaluable."
