Abstract:

\n< p>Small-scale fisheries are embedded in complex social-ecological systems in which environmental conditions\, markets\, access rights\, and fishing organizations interact to shape both ecological and human outcomes. Yet fi sheries policy frequently searches for broadly applicable solutions withou t sufficiently considering the conditions under which different governance arrangements are likely to succeed. This presentation draws on more than a decade of research on small-scale fisheries governance\, with particular emphasis on an interdisciplinary research program in northwest Mexico tha t examined a central question: What types of governance arrangements\, and under what social-ecological conditions\, are most likely to produce sust ainable and resilient outcomes? Using longitudinal fisheries landings\, en vironmental data\, surveys\, and interviews\, this research demonstrates t hat there is no single governance arrangement consistently associated with better outcomes. Rather\, institutional performance depends on the fit be tween governance arrangements and the social and ecological context in whi ch they operate. These findings shift attention away from identifying univ ersally “best” governance institutions and toward understanding the co ntextual conditions that make particular arrangements effective. I argue t hat a more diagnostic and context-sensitive approach to fisheries governan ce\, one that explicitly considers institutional fit\, access\, agency\, a daptive capacity\, and changing social-ecological conditions\, can improve both the effectiveness and equity of fisheries management in an increasin gly variable world.
