Current theoretical models of the commons assert that common-pool resources can only be managed sustainably with clearly defined boundaries around both communities and the resources that they use. In these theoretical models, open access inevitably leads to a tragedy of the commons. However, in many open-access systems, use of common-pool resources seems to be sustainable over the long term (i.e., current resource use does not threaten use of common-pool resources for future generations). Here, we outline the conditions that support sustainable resource use in open property regimes. We use the conceptual framework of complex adaptive systems to explain how processes …
2018 Film Series: Human Dimensions Of Climate Change, Jennifer Bonnet, Cindy Isenhour
2018 Film Series: Human Dimensions Of Climate Change, Jennifer Bonnet, Cindy Isenhour
Anthropology Faculty Scholarship
In the spring of 2018, Cindy Isenhour and Jen Bonnet coordinated the fifth annual Human Dimensions of Climate Change film series, sponsored by the Department of Anthropology, the Climate Change Institute, Maine Island Institute, School of Education and Human Development, and Fogler Library. Each week for three weeks a different film was shown, followed by discussion with campus scholars. A library exhibit accompanied the series and highlighted a wide range of resources related to the topic. This poster represents the series, and was designed by Brad Beauregard.

Este ensayo revisa los alcances de la oceanografía social tal como fue presentada y discutida en la Primera Reunión de Oceanografía Social organizada en el Centro de Estudios en Geografía Humana de El Colegio de Michoacán en septiembre de 2017. La oceanografía social es un campo innovador e híbrido de estudio, situado en el umbral entre las ciencias naturales y sociales que abarca el estudio de las relaciones e interacciones de las sociedades humanas, presentes y pasadas, con el ambiente costero/marino. Dividimos el ensayo en dos secciones. Primero, describimos crono-lógicamente el surgimiento y evolución de la disciplina, así como un …
Effects Of Fisheries Management On Local Ecological Knowledge, Emily Farr, Joshua Stoll, Christine M. Beitl
Effects Of Fisheries Management On Local Ecological Knowledge, Emily Farr, Joshua Stoll, Christine M. Beitl
Anthropology Faculty Scholarship
Local ecological knowledge, or the collective perceptions held by a particular group about their environment, results from the transmission of cultural knowledge from one generation to the next, combined with regular and persistent interactions between individuals and the biophysical environment. Management systems that limit access to certain natural resources likely have an effect on the quality of that knowledge. We explore the distribution of local ecological knowledge as it corresponds to different types of fishing activities and experience among fishermen in the eastern Gulf of Maine. We use a network approach to analyze cognitive maps of the ecosystem structure and …
Rights-Based Approaches In Ecuador’S Fishery For Mangrove Cockles, Christine M. Beitl, Nikita Gaibor
Rights-Based Approaches In Ecuador’S Fishery For Mangrove Cockles, Christine M. Beitl, Nikita Gaibor
Anthropology Faculty Scholarship
The fishery for ark clams or mangrove cockles (Anadara tuberculosa and A. similis) has been culturally and economically important in communities that depend on mangrove forests throughout the Pacific coast of Latin America since pre-Columbian times. In Ecuador, more than 3 000 artisanal fishermen manually harvest bivalve molluscs of the genus Anadara. However, this fishery has been vulnerable to harvesting pressures and habitat destruction. For almost three decades, researchers and international organizations have increasingly recognized the value of Territorial Use Rights in Fisheries (TURFs) as a tool for achieving marine conservation and socially equitable outcomes in fisheries management. Since 2000, …
