Abstract:
Recognizing or establishing territorial use rights for fisheries (TURFs) can drive positive social transformation, including change of (i) norms, values and beliefs; (ii) rules and practices; and, (iii) the distribution and flow of power, authority, and resources. However, positive social transformation is not always ensured. This review describes a set of enabling conditions that are useful to achieve positive social transformation with TURFs. We suggest actions that should be taken before establishing TURFs, including: identifying and supporting the enabling conditions, increasing the communitys adaptative capacity, and developing guidance on implementing tenure and rights-based systems. Additionally, the implementation of TURFs should take place in a holistic, inclusive and transparent manner, taking into consideration non-rights holders and resources outside the area.
