Abstract
Co-management as a concept has a relatively short history in fisheries, not more than a quarter of a century. As a practice, however, co-management has been with us for a much longer time period. Co-management systems have existed in some fisheries in many parts of the world for decades, in some instances for centuries (cf Pomeroy and Viswanathan, Chapter 6). If this is the case, why has it become such a ‘hot issue’ in fisheries in recent years? Why are there now so many hopes and expectations connected with this concept? Why is the idea spreading globally — as this book clearly demonstrates?
