Abstract

This thesis evaluates the utility of fishery improvement projects (FIPs) for governing fisheries toward sustainability. Specifically,it considers how local conditions affect a FIP's ability to implement improvements; whether this approach can facilitate transformative change; and how FIP engagement influences a fishery's governance system.

Using a global dataset and case study of The Bahamas lobster fishery, I identify key attributes related to project effectiveness,show how this model can foster transformative change, and build resilience through governance reform. This research informs our understanding of the utility of FIPs for promoting fisheries sustainability and identifies important considerations for future project use.
