Abstract
Adaptive management (AM) is one approach to manage migratory waterbirds, butobstacles to the implementation of AM require adaptive capacities in themanagement system (rules, institutions, action situations). This study aims toexamine the adaptive capacity of participatory goose management in Sweden.Considering the biophysical and institutional context, we analyzed how tangible,individual, and governance assets were associated with technical and sociallearning. Interviews with informants in the national council for geese, swans, andcranes, and local management groups (LMGs) were conducted, and documentationreviewed. Results revealed evidence of a local preparedness in areas with an LMG.Nevertheless, the study highlighted a need to... (More)

The study illustrates the need for a broad set of assets to ensurelearning in participatory management. (Less)
