2. Lessons from Community-Based Resource Management 3. Migratory Marine Resources as a Special Challenge to Commons Theory
I carried out my first study of community-based resource management in the mid-1970s in the Cree Indian village of Chisasibi, James Bay, in eastern subarctic Canada. As a recent science PhD, I had no training to appreciate local resource management institutions and traditional knowledge. Worse, as a...
