This paper focuses on the co-management approach to regulating common property resources. The nature of co-management arrangements or contracts, and applications of co-management in various countries, particularly coastal fishery management in Japan are discussed. The success of co-management lies in its operation within a framework where the state integrates the populations concerned during the early design stages of the resource-preserving strategy. Given the ‘culture of distrust’ in relationships between the State and local resource users, development projects initiated by local or foreign donor agencies play a key role within a co-management framework of action.Less

The Philippines depends on its coastal coral reef fisheries as a critical source of livelihood and seafood for both export and domestic consumption. By the mid-1990s, these fisheries had been over-exploited by both large-scale commercial and small-scale subsistence fishermen. Nearly all the coastal fisheries had been over-fished, and three-fourths of the coral reefs were being eroded. This chapter profiles Apo Island, one of the oldest marine protected areas in the country; the scientific research on marine conservation and coastal resource management that led to its creation; and the challenges that the community has faced in maintaining its no-take zone. The chapter also describes the USAID-funded Coastal Resource Management Project and its work building local government capacity to manage coastal resources at a larger scale, using Malalag Bay, Mindanao, as an example.Less

This chapter defines the problem of public values and summarizes some of the difficulties of present approaches to its solution. It then presents a technology, based on ideas drawn from contemporary decision theory, for amelioration of some of these problems, together with a study illustrating and applying that technology. Although the technology is quite general, the discussion focuses on problems of social decision making about land-use management, and in particular about coastal-zone management.Less

This chapter analyzes how coastal zone management has been the subject of state and local regulation through much of the last five decades in the United States. However, it was not until the mid-1970s that a national program of coastal zone management commenced under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA). Designed largely to encourage states in coastal areas to plan, manage, and regulate the use of land therein, the CZMA provides funds for the creation and implementation of state coastal zone management plans. In 1975, the State of Hawaiʻi responded to this federal coastal zone initiative, first with a Shoreland Protection Act, then with a Coastal Zone Management Act of its own: the Hawaiʻi Coastal Zone Management Act (HCZMA).Less

Chapter Eight summarizes the federalism safeguards debate, considers the role of negotiated governance, and highlights potential contributions from the academic negotiation literature. Most importantly, Chapter Eight introduces the phenomenon of federalism bargaining among all branches of government. Using the negotiation theorist’s definition, it broadly understands bargaining as “an iterative process of joint decision-making,” encompassing conventional political haggling, formalized methods of collaborative policymaking, and even more remote signaling processes by which state and federal actors negotiate consensus. Reverse-engineering the most successful examples would reveal the very considerations built into the Chapter Six balancing test—rendering bilateral bargaining by the political branches the functional ex ante equivalent of the ex post balancing analysis contemplated there. The federalism bargaining taxonomy charts opportunities for intergovernmental negotiation within various constitutional and statutory frameworks. It begins with the most familiar forms of negotiation used in lawmaking, including conventional negotiations over law enforcement, under the federal spending power, and for exceptions from otherwise applicable laws. It then considers more interesting forms of negotiated policymaking, including negotiated federal rulemaking with state and local stakeholders, federal statutes that share policy design with states, and intersystemic signaling negotiations, by which independently operating state and federal actors trade influence over the direction of evolving interjurisdictional policies. Examples include the 2008 Stimulus Bill, banking and financial services reform, criminal law enforcement, immigration, radioactive waste siting, offshore drilling, hydroelectric dam licensing, medical marijuana, climate governance, and the No Child Left Behind, Endangered Species, Clean Water, Clean Air, Real ID, Coastal Zone Management, and Medicaid Acts.Less

For the inhabitants of many of the world's major cities and towns, estuaries provide their nearest glimpse of a natural habitat; a habitat which, despite the attempts of man to pollute or reclaim it, has remained a fascinating insight into a natural world where energy is transformed from sunlight into plant material, and then, through the steps of a food chain, is converted into a rich food supply for birds and fish. This book first outlines the estuarine environment and the physical and biological factors that are important within it. It then examines the responses of the animals and plants to these factors, considers the problems of life in estuaries and why so few species have adapted to it, and then proposes a food web for an estuary. The coastal waters of the sea, and especially the waters of estuaries, are widely polluted. Thus in practice, marine pollution is often essentially estuarine pollution. To reflect this large impact of mankind on estuaries, and to consider how mankind may either destroy or enrich the estuarine ecosystem, chapters consider pollution in estuaries, and the diverse uses and abuses of the estuarine habitat by man, as well as the methods used to study human-induced changes in estuaries, and the ways in which estuarine management can either monitor, control, or prevent pollution or destruction of the estuarine ecosystem.Less

This chapter examines the effects of climate change on coastal wetlands. It introduces the biogeographical principles and concepts that underpin the relationships between climate change, sea-level change, and coastal evolution. Climate change is the key driver in Eustatic Sea Levels, and sea levels are the most important determinant in the formation of coastal wetlands. Rivers, and especially the sediment outputs from these, also play an important role in coastal evolution, and the impacts of climate change on sediment flows are generally well understood. The chapter also considers future scenarios for the impact of climate and sea-level change on the coastal communities around the world. It introduces the concept of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) as a tool that can guide the way in which groups and individuals with an interest in the coast can work together.Less

This chapter draws out the main themes from the adaptive pathways followed by communities in the past in dealing with climate and environmental change, and explores how these can contribute to building the socioecological resilience for twenty-first century coastal communities. The findings from this study can be summarized by answering four questions: Is a long-term understanding of sea-level-coast interaction applied in coastal management? Is an understanding of past successes and failures applied in coastal management? Is attention given to communities’ sense of place in coastal management? Are logistical solutions from the past adopted in coastal management?Less

Research reserves are protected natural areas where scientists conduct environmental and ecological studies. Coordinated monitoring, long-term datasets, experimental infrastructure, and the accumulation of knowledge in research reserves combine to offer tangible benefits to scientists, improve resource conservation, and increase scientific literacy of the public. In estuaries exposed to concentrated human impacts, research reserves can be utilized to address specific coastal management problems. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System exemplifies this approach in two tidal marshes within the San Francisco estuary: China Camp State Park and Rush Ranch Open Space Preserve. Ongoing characterizations of short-term variability and long-term change at these sites are especially important as regional tidal marshes face the imminent threat of accelerating sea-level rise.Less

The beautiful tropical dry forest of northwest Costa Rica, with its highly seasonal rainfall and diversely vegetated landscape, is disappearing even more rapidly than Costa Rica's better-known rain forest, primarily because it has been easier to convert to agriculture. This book offers a comprehensive look at the ecology, biodiversity, and conservation status of this endangered and fragile region. The chapters examine the major plant and animal groups living in the dry forest and present the first technical evaluation of Costa Rica's conservation efforts. As they assess the status of each area of specialty in the dry forest, the chapters also look beyond this particular region to show how its plants and animals are ecologically and evolutionarily connected to other geographic areas in Costa Rica and Central America. These chapters cover topics such as watershed and coastal management, plant phenology, pollination, insects, birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. They also consider the socioeconomic, policy, legal, and political aspects of biodiversity conservation. The book concludes with an important synthesis of the chapter's recommendations on future directions, policies, and actions that will better conserve biodiversity in Costa Rica and other neotropical forests as well.Less
