Transition Patterns of Fishermen and Land Farmers into Small-Scale Seaweed Aquaculture: The Role of Risk and Time Preferences

Submitted by Cristóbal Vásquez on

Seaweed harvest has denuded many areas of the sea floor, threatening marine ecosystems and the livelihood of coastal communities. Recently, small operators have begun to cultivate seaweed. This paper studies the role of fishing and agriculture, and their interactions with risk and time preferences, in the uptake of seaweed aquaculture. We use a Heckman selection model to study the decision to participate and expansion of production in seaweed aquaculture in Chile.

Does the devolution of forest management help conserve mangrove in the Mekong Delta of Viet Nam?

Submitted by Luat Do on

In the decentralization of forest management, the state devolves forestland use right to communities. What if the state devolves the right directly to individual households, not to communities? Does this policy work and within this policy what devolution mechanism works better in terms of forest conservation? This paper addresses these questions using the context of mangrove forest in Viet Nam. Mangrove forest areas in Viet Nam have experienced a substantial decline during the last century.
