Abstract
Numerous examples of environmental degradation and conflict among resource users have arisen in areas impacted by mariculture. In particular, instances of mangrove deforestation, destruction of the bycatch fishery, and estuary water pollution are growing concerns. This article presents an in‐depth case study of Honduran mariculture to explain the persistence of these conflicts among resource users. Different explanations for the persistence of externalities—based on the resource type, information problems, resource tenure, and the role of the state—are integrated in an analysis of three environmental conflicts. The article concludes that the link between tenure and environmental degradation is incomplete, and establishing an indirect relationship between users ‘ actions and environmental quality is an important first task.
