The institutions should be aimed at integrating marine resource conservation, technological expediency, economic efficiency, political necessity and the internal socio-cultural requirements of the industry. This ideal integration would then in turn contribute to resolving the crisis of fisheries, and the ecological threats to ocean productivity that emanates from it. The social objectives have a key position in management, because for a management regime to work, it must hold legitimacy in the eyes of those subjected to it. If, however, a management regime challenges basic values in the social systems concerned, it loses its legitimacy, leading to either a collapse of the management regime or calls for expensive enforcement measures in the form of surveillance and various forms of intensive control. First, however, we must clarify what we mean by institution, and, as well, state what to consider when drafting new institutional designs for the governance of resource exploitation systems.
Institutions create and structure order.
This implies an organisation and the technological knowledge for carrying out the purpose, and a charter or a set of ideas which assures that the purpose is worth carrying out. Also, institutions imply a power structure. One may also say that institutions provide the frames and stipulates the rules for interaction in society. Actors then move within these frames, while adhering to their rules or trying to expand them. Schematics difference between two views of the world, impacting on the institutions we design to manage fisheries.
