Oyster communities, Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, USA | Case |
| The Louisiana oyster fishing communities are located on the Gulf of Mexico with approximately 400 kilometers of coastline in a straight line from the border of Texas on the west to the border of Mississippi on the east. The case study involves historic information on the development of community based norms and institutions and a legally closed tenure structured around oyster leaseholds in Louisiana, compared to other open-access community-based oyster fisheries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The case... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Oyster communities, Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi, USA | Case |
| The Mississippi oyster fishing communities are located on the Gulf of Mexico with approximately 100 kilometers of coastline. The case study states that this is an open-access fishery but includes a limited amount of historic data on the development of community based norms and institutions for managing the fishery over time and compares them to those used in the Louisiana oyster fishing community (see related cases below). No information is provided on the number of users involved in the... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Oyster communities, Gulf of Mexico, Alabama, USA | Case |
| The Alabama oyster fishing communities are located on the Gulf of Mexico with approximately 100 kilometers of coastline. The case study states that this is an open-access fishery but includes a limited amount of historic data on the development of community based norms and institutions for managing the fishery over time and compares them to those used in the Louisiana oyster fishing community (see related cases below). No information is provided on the number of users involved in the fishery at... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Newfoundland Inshore Cod Trap Fisheries, Canada | Case |
| The inshore cod trap fisheries discussed in this case are primarily located along the eastern and north shores of Newfoundland, Canada, encompassing an unknown geographical area. The case study discusses the development of community-based institutions over time and then compares this with larger scale policy development for offshore fishing and economic development which lead to the demise of the community-based inshore fishery institutions after 1960. This case is detailed in... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Cowes Harbor Port Authority: Multi-use CPR with Oyster Fishery, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom | Case |
| Cowes Harbor is a part of the Medina Estuary at the mouth of the River Medina where it enters The Solent, a 5km wide channel between the northern most point of the Isle of Wight and the English mainland in the United Kingdom. The case study discusses the institutional arrangements conducted by the Cowes Harbor Commission (CHC) over approximately one hundred years of operation (1897 – 1997). Multiple uses take place in the harbor which are overseen by the CHC, including shipping, transportation... | 09 Aug 2016 |

The Wadden Sea is considered Europe’s largest wetland ecosystem and is also one of the largest in the world, providing high biomass production and habitat for birds, sea mammals, fish species and shellfish. The... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Nyamaropa Communal Area, Nyanga District, Zimbabwe | Case |
| The Nyamaropa communal area encompasses a total of five villages located in the Nyanga District in Zimbabwe. Beyond individual homestead plots and fields, the communities have access rights to an unspecified acreage of grazing/woodland commons that consist of miombo woodlands on mountain and hill slopes and Terminalia-Combretum vegetation in the lowlands. The time period examined involves a snapshot in time in approximately the late 1990s and is based on the author’s personal... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Haskovo's Irrigation System A, southern Bulgaria | Case |
| The Haskovo region is located along the southern border of Bulgaria near both Turkey and Greece. The four study sites contained within the case study are deliberately kept anonymous but are representative of seventeen village case studies conducted in three regions of Bulgaria and were chosen because distorting variables could be excluded in these cases. The Haskovo study sites include smaller irrigation catchment areas and definite numbers of actors and are managed by the water users... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Haskovo's Irrigation System B, southern Bulgaria | Case |
| The Haskovo region is located along the southern border of Bulgaria near both Turkey and Greece. The four study sites contained within the case study are deliberately kept anonymous but are representative of seventeen village case studies conducted in three regions of Bulgaria and were chosen because distorting variables could be excluded in these cases. The Haskovo study sites include smaller irrigation catchment areas and definite numbers of actors and are managed by the water users... | 09 Aug 2016 |
