Co-Management Resources Resources Produced by the FNFC: The FNFC has produced a variety of documents to stimulate a dialogue and understanding of co-management within a British Columbia aquatic resource management context.

For the Co-Management Legal Opinion (Full Report), please [download PDF]
The FNFC contracted Ratcliff and Co. to produce a legal opinion to consider the legal issues arising with respect to Crown/Aboriginal co-management in the fisheries context. As well, the Opinion reviews three primary legal mechanisms for implementing co-management (agreements with the Crown, co-management bodies and boards, and legislative instruments), with an eye to considering the legal basis that they provide for co-management. For a Discussion Document on Capacity for Co-Management of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, please [download PDF] The FNFC worked with Julie Gardner (Dovetail Consulting) to develop a Discussion Document which provides a structure for thinking about roles or functions that First Nations may want to play at - community (individual Nation) or aggregate (an organization serving more than one First Nation) - in aquatic resource co-management. This Discussion Document is designed to assist First Nations in B.C. with assessing their readiness to take on co-management of fisheries and aquatic resource management. For the Co-Management Discussion Document: What factors could B.C. First Nations consider when exploring the potential co‐management of fisheries and aquatic resources? please [download PDF] This document was produced by the staff of the FNFC to stimulate discussion and dialogue at a grassroots level about co‐management, and to draw attention to the various factors which could to be considered under this broad topic. ..............................................................................................................................................................

Co-management can and will be interpreted differently by different people. In this report, however, it as a management regime consisting of a partnership at varying levels between DFO and other interests such as First Nations. This article profiles three different co- management models—one on the Nass River, the second on the Skeena, the third on the waters off the West Coast of Vancouver Island.
This thesis provides an analysis of First Nations involvement in current fisheries management in the Skeena inland fisheries and explores the potential of co-management agreements for reconciling the two systems of resource management. The objectives of the thesis are: (i) to outline the divergent value systems which underlie resource-based conflict in cross- cultural settings; (ii) to identify key components of the indigenous resource management system as expressed within the fishery; (iii) to apply three analytical frameworks to help analyze the current regulatory regime within the inland fisheries; and (iv) to identify recommendations arising from the case study for the future of co-management within the inland fisheries. The purpose of this research is to examine if and how a fishing-dependent community can utilize fisheries co-management as one element of an overall sustainable community economic development strategy. Out of this central research objective three sequential research questions emerge:1. How are the terms sustainable development, community economic development (CED) and fisheries co-management, and the relationships between these concepts, defined in the literature; 2. Linking the conceptual approaches of sustainable community economic development (SCED) and fisheries co-management to their practical application, what strategies, principles, process steps and conditions for success or failure in fisheries co-management and sustainable CED are identified in the literature; and 3. How applicable are these relationships, strategies, principles, process steps and conditions to a case study British Columbia fishing community (Alert Bay)?
