“…Trust and leadership are crucial for sustaining TURF implementation (Lechuga Sańchez et al, 2021). In the early stage of TURF implementation, it is vital to have reliable leaders to establish trust (Andrachuk et al, 2018).…”

“…This contradicts the theory, claiming that a clear delineation of who is in and out is essential for the success of any TURF. Only then can those taking the cost of organizing the local management regime also capture the benefits (Lechuga Sańchez et al, 2021). On the other hand, the perspective of local users is that fish are gifts from God; therefore, everybody should be allowed to fish in the TURF area.…”

“…Strong collaboration and equal cooperation between implementing partners are required. The lack of trust can be overcome by creating an accountable system (Lechuga Sańchez et al, 2021) and developing a clear division of tasks, roles, and responsibilities, including indicators for assessing performance. In addition, prioritizing quick wins that benefit the implementing partners also needs to be sought.…”

“…The limited participation of women and young people has impacted the implementation of TURF in Kepulauan Seribu. Lechuga Sańchez et al (2021) found that young people are more motivated to preserve the fisheries resources as they require them for themselves and future generations, which can positively affect the management of the resources (Lechuga Sańchez et al, 2021). Similarly, women's participation in implementing TURF in Kepulauan Seribu could be improved.…”

“…Notable examples include creating no-take zones to protect fish stocks and regulating fishing efforts to control fish mortality by regulating quotas, licenses, closure seasons, and size restrictions (Afflerbach et al, 2014). Such strategies require strong governance structures and stakeholder awareness (Gutieŕrez et al, 2011;Lechuga Sańchez et al, 2021). Although establishing marine protected areas (MPAs) has been shown to enhance fish biomass by protecting critical habitats (Villaseñor-Derbez et al, 2019;Estradivari et al, 2022), it still provides relatively little incentives for fishers (Ovando et al, 2013).…”

Territorial User Rights for Fisheries (TURF) are established to grant privileged rights exclusively to local fishing communities to manage their stock within a bounded fishing ground. Theoretically, they will improve their sense of ownership which will eventually lead to stewardship and responsibility. In Indonesia, contemporary TURF has been introduced to meet such social outcomes and address the overfishing problems caused by open-access systems. The primary objective of this study was to determine how different project initiators perceive the system’s performance of TURF in Kepulauan Seribu Marine National Park. This study used an online Q methodology to determine what key actors thought of similarities and differences in TURF implementation by developing a concourse based on the original TURF project success elements. The results show that there are two different perspectives on what the essential aspects of TURF succeed in Kepulauan Seribu. The first opinion group appreciated the technical design of TURF, particularly the exclusion mechanism and boundary, which are crucial. A second opinion group argues that the clarity of rights, roles, and responsibilities is fundamental. Both opinion groups agreed that consistent law enforcement is the key to a successful TURF implementation. This study evaluated key stakeholders’ perspectives on co-management programs to identify points of consensus and disagreement that could ultimately help ensure the long-term success of TURF and similar co-management programs.

Small developing islands face a number of environmental and social pressures which impact resource security. This study uses a people-centred framework to investigate social-ecological interactions for water, energy and food security. Ten semi-structured focus group discussions were conducted in Pemba and Unguja islands with village elders and leaders. Results demonstrate that shocks and stresses affecting resource security are attributed to land use and resource competition, deforestation, climate change and insufficient resource infrastructure. The scale and strength of such pressures are heightened in dry seasons and also correspond with spatial characteristics such as remoteness, intensity of land use and amount of natural resource capital. Whilst a number of adaptive responses are identified, these appear to be incremental and do not address the scale of the challenge. Maladaptive responses are also identified; most concerning is the use of poor quality water when piped water was disrupted, reduced nutritional intake during dry season and using unsustainable supplies or methods of obtaining of fuelwood. Findings illustrate the importance of using people-centred approaches for understanding the complexity of social-ecological interactions for resource security. They also demonstrate that interventions for resource management need to consider spatial heterogeneity and temporality in terms of how specific land cover uses connect to differential pressures and adaptation capacity over time.
