Aquaculture and sustainable development:a regulatory or governance system?

摘要

Governance is defined as a process allowing actors to contextualisethe regulatory system and, as a result, to transform sustainable development(SD) into an instrument of action. It will be all the easier for actors tofamiliarise themselves with SD and its implementation measures if thesemeasures are similar to their representation on SD and its consequences on theiractivity and social life. In a research project carried out on the production of SDindicators, regulatory systems and the representation that actors have ofaquaculture were analysed in various environments (Cameroon, Cyprus,France, Indonesia, and the Philippines). The main assumption is thatimplementing SD requires and leads to a deconstruction/construction process ofthe actors' activity. This process is supported by a collective organisation anddepends on individual and collective learning about technical andorganisational aspects, in particular regarding the (re)definition of activities andgovernance methods of aquaculture areas.
