Abstract
  • Consultative structures are often suggested as a means of facilitating resolution of issues in multiple use management through developing consensus and facilitating cooperation. The advantages and limitations of this approach are explored through the history of the Cockburn Sound Management Council. Set up in 1999, the Cockburn Sound Management Council (CSMC) is a quasi-legislative advisory body dealing with complex and contentious issues relating to environmental protection, fisheries, aquaculture, industrial development, naval facilities and reclamation. Cockburn Sound is the most heavily used marine embayment in Western Australia and has seen significant environmental change over the last fifty years, including the loss of more than 80% of its seagrass beds. The challenges faced by the CSMC have lead to the development of novel strategies for the structure and management of the CSMC, community reporting and in developing consensus. Significant successes have been achieved, including the widespread adoption and acceptance of a credible Environmental Management Plan for Cockburn Sound. Co-operative approaches, however, have limitations when dealing with complex issues such as incremental environmental loss and long term planning, and these limitations are also considered.
