  abstract = 	{This is an historical study of small-scale fisheries in Okinawa's rich and diverse inshore environment. The warm northward flowing Kuroshio Current supports an extensive system of coral reefs off of Okinawa's West Coast, which is home to many fish species. The authors examine the changes over time in ecology, regulations, markets, technology, and sea tenure. Since Japan's annexation of Okinawa in 1879, the fisheries have been tightly regulated and the authors focus on the key regulatory institutions, the Fisheries Co-operative Associations (FCA). On the plus side the localized FCAs permit micro-adjustments to change, on the downside, they preclude any regional fisheries policy, which could regulate the potentially adverse impact of one FCA policy on another.},
