  • ICCA-Submission 2-Marine Areas of Responsible Fishing: a Path Toward
    “Marine Areas of Responsible Fishing”: A Path Toward Small-Scale Fisheries 10 Co-Management in Costa Rica? Perspectives from Golfo Dulce Luc Fargier, Hans J. Hartmann and Helena Molina-Ureña Abstract This chapter analyzes participatory management processes of small-scale fisheries in two Pacific embayments of Costa Rica, a centralized state of Central America where fisher- ies management is traditionally “top-down”, data deficient, and poorly adapted to local biological and socio-economic conditions. We provide an historical overview of coastal activities governance and fisheries national context, and describe different participative approaches to small-scale fishery management. The Marine Area of Responsible Fishing (Área Marina de Pesca Responsable, or AMPR), created in 2008, is a management tool developed by the Costa Rican government to effectively involve fishers organizations in small-scale fisheries management. In this paper, we compare participative management initiatives associated with AMPRs in the Golfo Dulce and Golfo de Nicoya (Palito and Tár- coles), and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Cahuita and Marino Ballena National Parks. Based on our analysis, we recommend ten measures to improve the small-scale fisheries co- management process. Among these, five recommendations stand out: (1) increase the participation of artisanal fishers in the development of collective choice rules; (2) allocate costs and benefits of management measures among artisanal fishers; (3) improve local lead- ership; (4) improve understanding and transparency of the management process; and (5) formalize and implement strategic fisheries management plans. Keywords Small-scale fisheries · Marine area of responsible fishing · Co-management · Costa Rica · Tropical Eastern Pacific fisheries 10.1 Introduction There are no universal definitions of small- scale or artisanal L.
