N1 - This research was conducted within the project BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION OF UTRIA NATIONAL PARK THROUGH THE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF BUFFER ZONES, executed by MarViva in cooperation with Word Wildlife Fund (WWF Colombia), Natural Heritage (Fund for Biodiversity and Protected Areas) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The project aims at defining activities for artisanal fishing management agreements in the Gulf of Tribuga, Colombia. Results of this research contribute to the design of programs for sustainable fishing in the area and for strengthening governance in local communities.

N2 - This paper presents a study regarding the behavior of Pacific-Colombian fishers in a Common Pool Resource game. Results show that decision-making depends on human capital accumulation and the learning process. Specifically, through trial and error, those players with more human capital adjust their decisions on the basis of a cooperative-collusive solution by following the feedback of their own most successful strategies in past rounds. Notably, fishers with the higher levels of formal schooling tend to harvest less because they have a better understanding of dilemma-type games and the higher benefits involved when they cooperate.
