Resource systems with enforced rules and strong monitoring systems typically have more predictable resource abundance, which can confer economic and social benefits to local communities. Co-management regimes demonstrate better social and ecological outcomes, but require an active role by community members in management activities, such as monitoring and enforcement. Previous work has emphasized understanding what makes fishermen comply with rules. This research takes a different approach to understand what influences an individual to enforce rules, particularly sea tenure. We conducted interviews and used multiple regression and Akaike's Information Criteria model selection to evaluate the effect of social networks, food security, recent catch success, fisherman's age and personal gear investment on individual's enforcement of sea tenure. We found that fishermen's enforcement of sea tenure declined between the two time periods measured and that social networks, age, food security, and changes in gear investment explained enforcement behavior across three different communities on Nicaragua's Atlantic Coast, an area undergoing rapid globalization.
拥有强制规则和强大监测系统的资源系统通常具有更可预测的资源丰度，这可为当地社区带来经济和社会效益。共同管理制度展现出更好的社会和生态成果，但需要社区成员在管理活动中发挥积极作用，如监测和执行。先前的研究着重于理解促使渔民遵守规则的因素。本研究采用了不同的方法来理解是什么影响个体执行规则，特别是海域权属规则。我们进行了访谈，并使用多元回归和赤池信息准则模型选择来评估社会网络、粮食安全、近期捕鱼收获、渔民年龄和个人渔具投资对个体执行海域权属规则的影响。我们发现，在所测量的两个时间段之间，渔民对海域权属的执行有所下降，并且社会网络、年龄、粮食安全和渔具投资的变化解释了尼加拉瓜大西洋沿岸三个不同社区（一个正在经历快速全球化的地区）的执行行为。
