"Throughout the world, there are myriad examples of abuse, overexploitation, or even depletion of living marine resources. Instances of successful fisheries management and sustainable development are rare. One such example is the Dutch mussel fishing and farming industry. During well defined periods in spring and autumn, the mussel fishers are allowed to catch yound mussels, which they plant on plots rented from the state. This systems has been in operation since the 1860s and has evolved into a successful and sustainable mode of marine resource utilization. The present paper explores the history of the musseling industry, the way in which it is managed by state representatives and users. some of the problems it faces, and the possibilities of transfer of this resource management system to other countries." |
