  1. Normative Beliefs of Galapagos Fishermen Arren Allegretti Jerry J. Vaske Ryan Finchum Colorado State UniversityHuman Dimensions of Natural Resources Fort Collins, Colorado

  2. Galapagos Islands • Located 1000 km off coast of Ecuador • 100 islands and islets 70,000 square kilometers • International recognition for rich biodiversity since 50’s. • Managed by: Galapagos National Park ServiceCharles Darwin Research Station

  3. Management Issues • Geographic isolation and fragile nature of island challenges ecological and social management • Fishing cooperatives have standards/norms for coop membership • Fishing coops perceived park service standards as inappropriate, alien, and imposed • Fishermen aggressively retaliated against the park service http://jimpinson.jc-research.com/galapagos/strike95/msg1.html

  4. Hypotheses Norms regarding sanctions for H1: fishing violations H2: aggressive fishermen’s behaviorwill vary among Galapagos islands Amount of consensus towards sanctions for H3: fishing violations H4: aggressive fishermen’s behaviorwill vary among Galapagos islands

  5. Methods Onsite survey of registered fishermen Total fishermen population N = 682 n % of Pop. San Cristobal 269 79 Santa Cruz 109 67 Isabela 132 75 Total 511 75

  6. Survey Questions In order to make sure that fishing continues for everyone, the officials should enforce rules. Tell us how you feel the officials for the marine reserve should deal with fishermen that do the following things: Norms on Natural Resource Violations Norms on Aggressive Fisher Behavior

  7. Sanctions for Fishing Violations of Natural Resource Regulations 1Means with different superscripts (e.g. 1.693a vs. 1.372b) are significant at the p<.05 level based on the LSD post hoc analysis.

  8. Norms for Fishing Violations Take away permit for year Take away permit for 15 days Give a fine Nothing 3 2 1 0 Sanctions Fishing in No-take zone Illegal fishing methods Off-season lobster harvest Off-season Sea cucumber harvest Shark harvest Fishing Violations San Cristobal

  9. Norms for Fishing Violations Take away permit for year Take away permit for 15 days Give a fine Nothing 3 2 1 0 Sanctions Fishing in No-take zone Off-season Sea cucumber harvest Illegal fishing methods Off-season lobster harvest Shark harvest Fishing Violations Santa Cruz

  10. Norms for Fishing Violations Take away permit for year Take away permit for 15 days Give a fine Nothing 3 2 1 0 Sanctions Illegal fishing methods Fishing in No-take zone Off-season Sea cucumber harvest Off-season lobster harvest Shark harvest Fishing Violations Isabela

  11. Norms for Fishing Violations Take away permit for year Take away permit for 15 days Give a fine Nothing 3 2 1 0 Sanctions Fishing in No-take zone Off-season lobster harvest Off-season Sea cucumber harvest Shark harvest Illegal fishing methods Fishing Violations Santa Cruz Isabela San Cristobal

  12. PCI2 Differences * PCI difference tests larger than 1.96 are significant at p < .05.

  13. Norms for Aggressive Fishermen Behavior 2Means with different superscripts (e.g. 1.693a vs. 1.372b) are significant at the p<.05 level based on the LSD post hoc analysis.

  14. Take away permit for year Take away permit for 15 days Give a fine Nothing Sanctions Norms for Fishermen Behavior 3 2 1 0 Verbal threats Physical Threats Damaging Property Physical Injury Fishermen Behavior San Cristobal

  15. Take away permit for year Take away permit for 15 days Give a fine Nothing Sanctions Norms for Fishermen Behavior 3 2 1 0 Verbal threats Physical Threats Damaging Property Physical Injury Fishermen Behavior Santa Cruz

  16. Take away permit for year Take away permit for 15 days Give a fine Nothing Sanctions Norms for Fishermen Behavior 3 2 1 0 Verbal threats Physical Threats Damaging Property Physical Injury Fishermen Behavior Isabela

  17. Take away permit for year Take away permit for 15 days Give a fine Nothing Sanctions Norms for Fishermen Behavior 3 2 1 0 Verbal threats Physical Threats Damaging Property Physical Injury Fishermen Behavior Isabela Santa Cruz San Cristobal

  18. PCI2 Differences * PCI difference tests larger than 1.96 are significant at p < .05.

  19. Summary Norms regarding sanctions for H1: fishing violations Supported H2: aggressive behavior Not Supportedwill vary among Galapagos islands Amount of consensus towards sanctions for H3: fishing violations Supported H4: aggressive behavior Supportedwill vary among Galapagos islands

  20. Summary • San Cristobal • most likely to accept and comply with current and future regulatory actions • Santa Cruz • Conflict is likely for current / future regulatory actions • Presence of park service headquarters may affect the interaction and amount of consensus • Isabela • Least likely to accept a high level of punitive action • Regulatory action that employs taking permits away for the year will likely create conflict for Isabela

  21. Management Implications • Important to understand island similarities and differences • a) norms (averages) • b) normative consensus (PCI2) • Consensus regarding appropriate sanctions for fishing violations and aggressive behavior reflects acceptance / compliance with regulations
