Description
On July 20, 2009 a 41 year old LOBSTERMAN from the island of Matinicus was shot in the neck over a property dispute. (1) The islanders, like many Northeastern Lobstermen, have a property regime in place that is enforced by a series of acts against lobster traps that violate the rules, from simple marking of traps and intimidation of the violator to near total destruction of traps or boats. (2) The local fishermen had developed a system to control the waters to protect against the open access problem of overfishing but because the state law refuses to recognize the system challengers are encouraged to try to fish in waters without permission from the locals. As one marine colonel said, "We don't let them do their cowboy thing." (3) The shooting is related to a long standing dispute about which a non-islander brought pending conspiracy charges against a number of Matinicus residents, on the theory that the group planned destruction of his invasive traps. (4) Further complicating the story, the plaintiff in the conspiracy case alleges that the group of residents had conspired with state enforcement to enforce the property scheme, despite being recognized as unlawful. (5) If such a violent escalation is to be avoided, what property regime should be supported, and how can this result be generalized? I. Introduction
