Ayvalik-Haylazli Lagoon Fishery, Turkey | Case |
| The Ayvalik-Haylazli lagoon fishery is located on the Turkish Mediterranean coast near the town of Adana. The resource units are demersal fish (mullets, groupers, and snappers). The original case, which spans from 1976-1978, catalogues an action situation involving 103 registered fishermen from three neighboring villages. There is only one user group organization (referred to as a co-op) and all active fishermen are members in it. The charter of the co-op defines rules for membership. The co-op... | 09 Aug 2016 |

The fishery of interest was used mostly by the immediate community but was embedded within a national,... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Marine Protected Areas in the Gulf of California, Sonora, Mexico | Case |
| Marine protected areas remain as one of the most popular tools for the conservation and management of natural resources in marine ecosystems. However, mere establishment of MPAs without the proper design, management, or enforcement tools may give a false sense of security that such MPAs will be enough to sustain marine resources. The Gulf of California (GOC), in Mexico, has received a great deal of attention over the past 20 years as a region where conservation and resource management efforts... | 09 Aug 2016 |
