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 |
Shellfish, Wadden Sea, The Netherlands | Case |
| The Wadden Sea is a network of tidal channels, sandbars, mudflats, salt marshes and dune islands covering approximately 9000 km2 located at the northwest corner of the Netherlands along the North Sea and extending east along the coast of Germany and then north to Esbjerg in Denmark. 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.

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 |

Ballynakill Harbour multi-use co-operative, Connemara District, Ireland | Case |
| Ballynakill Harbour is located on the northwest part of Connemara, a region on the west coast of Ireland. Use of the harbor has moved from predominantly single-use, involving commercial and domestic fishing, to multiple uses including: fishing for shrimp, white fish, and salmon; as well as finfish and shellfish aquaculture, oyster farming, and marine tourism. The case study focuses on the activities of the North Connemara Marine Co-operative which was formed through collective action between... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Yanesha Forest Cooperative, Palcazú valley, central Peru | Case |
| The Yanesha forest community is located in the Palcazú valley of central Peru. The case study involves a snapshot in time during which the Yanesha Forestry Cooperative (COFYAL) operated in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. Timber and a variety of forest products are the main stationary resource units.In this case, the forest resources were being extracted for the generation of profits from commercial activities to be distributed to the community members and are not for subsistence activities.... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Yuracare forest community, Department of Cochabamba, northern Bolivia | Case |
| The Yuracare forest community is located in the department of Cochabamba, in northern Bolivia. It encompasses a geographical area of 250,000 ha in the Rio Charape watershed. The case study spans from early 1990s to 1997, and catalogues an action situation involving 400 families, which are dependent on the forest for fuelwood, fodder, timber, water, and game species, among others. Timber and a variety of forest products are the main stationary resource units.This case illustrates how... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Stakenet Fishery Association at Negombo Lagoon, Sri Lanka | Case |
| Negombo Lagoon (3,164 ha) is located on Sri Lanka's west coast -- about 30 km north of the capital Colombo. This study discusses a community-initiated common property regime in the Negombo lagoon suffering from the problem of open access. The analysis focuses on the Stake-Net Fishery Association (SNFA) in the channels of the Negombo lagoon. The SNFA is an example of a long-standing collective arrangement for successfully limiting open access. The determinants of the success of the SNFA are... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Watershed management, Silalaeng, Nan province, northern Thailand (I) | Case |
| This paper examines four case studies of community-based watershed management with emphasis on their operational decision-making arrangements. Even though legally the watersheds are state property, 73% of the villagers consider them communal property. All the watersheds established community-based regimes as a result of a declining resource abundance, but differ in their operational rules, administration, effectiveness, and satisfaction among stakeholders. A village ... | 09 Aug 2016 |
