Abstract
It
is generally accepted that co-management systems
are most cost-effective than centralized management
of natural resources. However, no attempts have
been made to empirically verify the transaction
costs involved in fisheries co-management. Some
estimates of transaction costs of fisheries co-management
in San Salvador Island, Philippines, are presented
in this paper. These estimates are used to vompare
various transaction costs in co-managed and in
centrally managed fisheries in San Salvador Island.
