Title Collective action for common property resource
rejuvenation : the case of people's
artificial reefs in Kerala state, India
 
Creator Kurien, John
 
Subject Artificial reef
 
Description This paper is about the efforts being made by communities of coastal fisherfolk in South India to build
artificial reefs as a means of rejuvenating the ecosystem of their coastal waters damaged by indiscriminate
trawling. These initiatives provide the basis for questioning the now influential opinions that in the case of
resources in the realm of the commons, precious Uttle will be done to save them from ruin, particularly by those
individuals who enjoy access to them. It hopes to add to the accumulating evidence that collective action by
the laboring masses in the developing world - peasants, fisherfolk and forest dwellers, to mention a few - to revive
and rejuvenate their common pool resources calls to question the undiscriminating policy prescriptions which
continue to see only "market or state" interventions to solve issues relating to environmental degradation.
