Co-management is a process in which both regulators and stakeholders share responsibility for managing a fishery. It can result in more sustainable fisheries by providing participants in the fishery with a stake in its long-term health and by reducing antagonisms between regulators and participants. It can also lead to better informed and more flexible management. The paper reviews the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act as well as other federal laws and regulations to identify whether they could pose problems for co-management of fisheries, concluding that these laws present no serious barriers. Building on a comparative analysis of fisheries in New Zealand and Canada, the paper shows that co-management develops when stakeholders are encouraged to participate through a bottom-up process.<\/p>\n<p>Clinic student Lucia Bizikova contributed to the research, analysis, and preparation of this paper under the supervision of Senior Clinical Instructor Shaun Goho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Emmett Environmental Law &amp; Policy Clinic, in collaboration with Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), released a new report entitled Fisheries&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-clinic-publications","category-news","post-archive"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinics.law.harvard.edu\/environment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinics.law.harvard.edu\/environment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinics.law.harvard.edu\/environment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinics.law.harvard.edu\/environment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/158"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinics.law.harvard.edu\/environment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/clinics.law.harvard.edu\/environment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3589\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinics.law.harvard.edu\/environment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinics.law.harvard.edu\/environment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinics.law.harvard.edu\/environment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
