Craig Gerlach<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract<\/strong>: Using a mixed set of ethnographic methods including interviews and a structured survey, we evaluate local perceptions about the sustainability of salmon fisheries among fishers of the Cook Inlet region of Alaska. A majority of residents report participating in these fisheries, but we find significant disagreement about their sustainability. Household income and the types of fishing practiced both influence people&#8217;s responses, and many implicated specific user groups for overharvesting and\/or for receiving unfair catch allocations. Drawing on the theoretical areas of information theory and political ecology, we argue that these findings reveal a complex interplay among the practical, social, and political aspects of how local resource users, or \u201clocal experts,\u201d develop and communicate their assessments of ecological conditions in a context of conflict. We conclude with notes on future research as it relates to the successful design of local-management and co-management solutions, especially in settings where resources are contested by stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>[gview file=&#8221;https:\/\/aksalmonalliance.org\/staging1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/loring-et-al-2013-local-perceptions-of-sustainability-online-first.pdf&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Link to the article at Research Gate by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/256589551_Local_Perceptions_of_the_Sustainability_of_Alaska%27s_Highly_Contested_Cook_Inlet_Salmon_Fisheries?ev=prf_pubsite\">here<\/a>.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll need to register for free to access the full article.<\/p>\n<p>As with all the articles we link to on the ASA website, this report does not necessarily reflect the views of the Alaska Salmon Alliance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local Perceptions of the Sustainability of Alaska&#8217;s Highly Contested Cook Inlet Salmon Fisheries by Philip A Loring, Hannah L Harrison, S.
