Abstract

Fisheries in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands are a very complex, diverse, and dynamic sector. Unfortunately more often than not, policies and practices applied to govern fisheries have proven to be inappropriate. Small-scale fisheries in mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands face multiple challenges mostly linked to the limited governability of the fisheries systems. By using empirical evidence based on triangulation of qualitative open-ended surveys and intensive literature review, this chapter explores the fisheries sector in Ecuador through the lenses of the Buen Vivir standpoint, which is the guiding principle of Ecuador’s National Development Plan. Under the interactive governance approach, which is used as the primary analytical framework, this chapter examines the challenges encountered in governing small-scale fisheries in both the Ecuadorian mainland and Galapagos Islands. This chapter highlights the coincidences and mismatches between the two normative instruments simultaneously operating in these two regions. Main findings confirm the existence of incongruities between the Buen Vivir-inspired national development path and the policies and practices taken to address small-scale fisheries issues. Yet, common grounds between both instruments exist, and they may serve to pave the road for a comprehensive governance model for the national fisheries systems. We suggest that by implementing a comprehensive overarching national policy framework for fisheries, the Buen Vivir principle – ruling the national development plan – would be better illustrated. By doing such, the overall governability of fisheries in Ecuador would improve, and thus the sustainability of small-scale fisheries and the viability of fishing communities in both regions would be fostered.

Notes

  1. 1.

    At the time of reviewing this chapter, new presidential elections took place in Ecuador. The recently elected government – who belongs to the same political party of the outgoing president – is expected to maintain their vocation, by fostering this national ideal, in the long term. By doing so, the Buen Vivir will remain as the guiding national principle, leading the Ecuadorian’s development path.

  2. 2.

    This idea follows the discussions and reflections during several conversations at the discussion group about the Buen Vivir and “Rights of Nature” concepts, hosted by the Rachel Carson Center and led by M.V. Berros and A.L. Tabios between 2015 and 2016 in Munich, Germany.
