Study on the development of small-scale marine fishery self-governance cooperatives along the coast under the background of rural revitalization strategy

Abstract:

The organized and large-scale management of small-scale fisheries is the international trend of small-scale fisheries management. Based on rural revitalization strategy, the decentralization of government of small-scale fisheries management power to small-scale fisheries cooperatives and realization of small-scale fishery cooperatives self-governance are of great practical significance to develop Chinese small-scale fisheries self-governance cooperatives. It is the key to solve the problems of low efficiency, high cost and poor performance in the management of small-scale fisheries in China. Through field surveys of Chinese and Japanese small-scale fishery cooperatives, self-governance theory,learning from the analysis of Japanese small-scale fishery self-governance cooperatives and the enlightenment to development of small-scale fishery self-governance cooperatives in China, this paper points out the problems of lack of self-governance, imperfect organizational structure, unregulated operation, the lack of endogenous motivation, passive regulation, crisis of trust with the lack of cooperation in the role of cooperatives and insufficient social incentives with the lack of reward and punishment mechanism. At last, it is suggested that the development of small-scale fishery self-governance cooperatives should give them the power to manage fisheries, innovative fisheries management systems, improvement of organizational structure, strict operation in accordance with the cooperatives charter, enhancement of trust mechanisms and social incentives and so on.
