Open access in a spatially delineated artisanal fishery: The case of Minahasa, Indonesia
Abstract
The effects of economic development on the exploitation of renewable resources are
investigated in settings where property rights are ill defined or not enforced. This
paper explores potential conservation implications from labor and product market developments,
such as enhanced transportation infrastructure. A model is developed that predicts
individual fish catch per unit effort based on characteristics of individual fishermen
and the development status of their villages. The econometric model is estimated using
data from a cross-sectional household survey of artisanal coral reef fishermen in
Minahasa, Indonesia, taking account of fishermen heterogeneity. Variation across different
villages and across fishermen within the villages is used to explore the effects of
development. Strong evidence is found for the countervailing forces of product and
labor market effects on the exploitation of a coral reef fishery. © 2007 Cambridge
