Abstract
  • Until recently the execution of the fisheries management schemes in the Netherlands was to a large extend centralized. In 1993, however, part of the executionary responsibilities was delegated to the fishing industry. In this new system, responsibilities in the management of individual transferable quota (ITQs) has been devolved to groups of fishermen. This Dutch co-management system proved to be successful in quota management; landings did not exceed quota in the period 1993-2001. A 1996 evaluation of the system concluded that the combination of positive inducements and some coercion made individual fishermen decide to become and to remain cooperative; that the fleet succeeded in a more economic use of the quota; and, that the distribution of net benefits had improved to some extent. Both fishermen and government are enthusiastic about the management system. Since January 2002 a Steering group has started to investigate the possibilities to extend the management responsibilities of the fishermen’s groups. In this paper Dutch co-management experiences from 1993-2002 will be discussed from an organisational and institutional perspective, next to ideas about the future role of the fishermen’s groups.
