Who Should Have a Voice in Management of Local Marine Resources? Some Comments on the Common Property Debates and the Decision of Co-Management Institutions for North Norwegian Fjord Fisheries
"Formalized self-management of the cod-fisheries in Lofoten was established by law in 1897, along with some local regulations in the North-Norwegian fjords. In 1959, the fjord regulations were delegated to the regional branches of the Fishers Union. "Today, it is no longer self-evident tha...
