Co-Management and Recreational Fishing

  • Chapter
The Fisheries Co-management Experience

Part of the book series: Fish and Fisheries Series ((FIFI,volume 26))

Abstract

Recreational fishing and its governance has rarely been studied, partly due to the short history of the leisure hobbies in the modern society compared with the long traditions of fishing as a livelihood. However, there has been academic interest in the social dimensions of recreational fisheries, especially in The USA and Canada (Viard and Brenner, 1998). In many countries the recreational fishermen have become powerful stakeholders in the utilization of fishing waters. Yet they often form heterogeneous groups and are not self-evidently included in a participatory management system.
