    An experimental look at trust, bargaining, and public goods in fishing communities
    (2021) Rojas, Cristian A.; Cinner, Joshua; Lau, Jacqueline; Ruano-Chamorro, Cristina; Contreras-Drey, Francisco J.; Gelcich, Stefan
    Pro-social behavior is crucial to the sustainable governance of common-pool resources such as fisheries. Here, we investigate how key socioeconomic characteristics influence fishers' pro-social and bargaining behavior in three types of experimental economic games (public goods, trust, and trade) conducted in fishing associations in Chile. Our games revealed high levels of cooperation in the public goods game, a high degree of trust, and that sellers rather than buyers had more bargaining power, yet these results were strongly influenced by participants' socioeconomic characteristics. Specifically, gender, having a secondary income source, age, and being the main income provider for the household all had a relationship to multiple game outcomes. Our results highlight that engagement in pro-social behaviors such as trust and cooperation can be influenced by people's socioeconomic context.

    The fisheries co-management guidebook. Emerging research for the effective management of small-scale fisheries
    (2023) Smallhorn-West, Patrick; Abesamis, Rene A.; Boso, Delvene; Cinner, Joshua; Cohen, Philippa J.; Gelcich, Stefan; Harrison, Hugo B.; Jones, Geoff; Júpiter, Stacy D.; Khan, Firoz; Lau, Jacqueline; Lawless, Sarah; Mangubhai, Sangeeta; Mills, David J.; Mills, Morena; Peckham, Hoyt; Pressey, Robert L.; Raj, Sushil; Ruano Chamorro, Cristina; Tilley, Alexander
    Small-scale fisheries account for 40% of global fish catch and employ more than 90% of the world’s fishers, defining the livelihoods, nutrition, and culture of a substantial and diverse segment of humankind. In recent decades collaborative forms of fisheries management, including co-management, have gained popularity as the most appropriate, fair, and effective form of governance for small-scale fisheries. Fisheries co-management is envisioned as a process by which to reverse the interconnected crises of hunger, poverty, and biodiversity loss, transforming small-scale fisheries into engines of prosperity, inclusion, and sustainability.
