- Abstract
Local embeddedness for beach management units is vital for legitimacy and sustainability. This paper employs the theory of local embeddedness to study the extent to which Beach Management Units (bmus) will bring about the sustainability of fisheries at the community level. It draws from the perceptions of the communities living in Mtwara rural on how Beach Management Units are governed. Using key informant interviews in four villages of Mtwara rural, different levels of embeddedness were identified and measured. The findings show that although Beach Management Units were introduced to empower local communities to manage fisheries resources, they are not embedded within the community.
