Resum
This chapter analyzes the transformation of on-foot shellfish gathering in Galicia, a traditional activity developed primarily by women under a free access regime. Nowadays, many of the areas where this activity flourishes are in a situation of active co-governance that employs a type of licensing system. Shellfisher organizations plan and control exploitation with the support of the government, even using seeding techniques to regenerate areas that were previously degraded. This process has not been easy, as it has resulted in a strong reduction of persons linked to the activity. Moreover, in the current economic crisis it is menaced by a surge in poaching. Despite the advantages of including women in co-management processes, in terms of equity, legitimacy and inclusiveness, enhancing the capacity of user groups and civil society to cope with the tasks involved in co-governance situations constitutes a serious challenge.
