Abstract
Ecuador’s Coastal Resources Management Program or Programa de Manejo de Recursos Costeros (PMRC) was designed as a process by which a North American and Ecuadorian partnership could learn how to institutionalize progress toward more sustainable forms of development along Ecuador’s coast. As the program took shape, we came to realize that our challenge was to make this progress in a context of at times anarchic and accelerating social and ecosystem change. How could we invent structures and procedures of governance that could begin to bring order to this process of change, and then direct the development process toward sustainable intensities and combinations of uses?
