This study reports on the experiences with a diversity of cases of rights-based benthic and finfish fisheries management regimes from the Latin American region. Each case specifies the main attributes of the access rights, whether formal or informal: (i) how the rights are conferred and upheld; (ii) exclusivity of participation in the fishery; (iii) duration of the rights conferred; (iv) security or quality of the title conferred by the rights; (v) transferability, divisibility and flexibility in the use of the rights; and (vi) actual rights enforceability and corresponding compliance with use rights limitations.166 p.application/pdfFAOBook (stand-alone)
