| Título : | Knowledge in co-management |

| Resumen : | Co-management institutions have generally been limited to implementation and have not extended user
participation to include the knowledge basis for management decisions. This paper discusses some of the
fundamental problems involved if such an extension were to be developed. One set of problems relate to the
alienation of the immediate users from the formalised research knowledge which generally is used as the
knowledge basis for mainstream modern fisheries management due to the different scales of observation used by
formalised research and the immediate resource users and the requirement for predictability which is inherent in
many modern management implementations. This set of problems may be reduced through the use of indicators
of pressures and state of the resource system which are based on softer predictability requirements and
accommodate aspects of local knowledge. Another set of problems relate to the different perceptions of
stakeholders where a distinction is made between specific knowledge which is used to guide local management
decisions and more generalised information which is used to compare across resource systems as required to
monitor compliance with international agreements or for the use of market based instruments such as green
labelling. Awareness and transparency regarding these problems is a prerequisite for development of
participatory management systems which are extended to include knowledge aspects. |
