Abstract

Ronald Coase has shown that well-defined property rights and the absence of transaction costs ensure that bargaining can lead to efficient environment allocation. In France, as in most developed countries, fishing rights are well-defined and belong to land-owners. However in many cases these rights are traditionally given for free to anglers associations (AAPPMA). AAPPMA are the basic institutions in charge of angling management in France. In a first part we describe how private fishing rights are institutionally turned into public goods. This is the basis of the French democratic angling rule : fishing "everywhere, for everyons and at low cost". In a second part we analyze the economic drawbacks of foregone property rights. Two main external effects arise from the public nature of recreational fishing in France. First we deal with externalities between anglers, known as the "tragedy of the comrnons". Then we describe the extemal effects between land owners (mostly farmers) and anglers. This leads to pollution and loss of environmental services,
