Description
Throwing Out a Life-Line Market-driven moves towards privatisation of rights in coastal fishing are challenging very long-standing open access marine rights. A transformation in rights to coastal waters, barely visible in Australia, is occurring rapidly within major fishing nations. Pointing to the failure of government regulation to stem the tide of resource depletion and habitat destruction in the 1980s and 1990s, its advocates rejoice in the 'death-rattle' of open access. Critics, on the other hand, draw attention to its likely ill-effects on social life: the rejection of the 'public good' and the demise of community-based fishing; trends towards concentration of ownership and the exclusion of many smaller producers.
