The CRMP’s own efforts in this regard centered on seaweed
farming and the formation of cooperatives to produce coconut vinegar and bottled
sardines. For now, and leaving aside matters of equity, most residents seem at best
ambivalent about marine sanctuaries (see Cañete 2000, p. 200); many like the idea
in principle but are concerned about community ability to effectively monitor the
sanctuaries (in part a budgetary issue) and to discipline those inevitable “others”
who would attempt to continue to fish in them
