Data for: Social networks and ecological collapse: A case study of the Tana salmon fishery in Norway
https://doi.org/10.5878/fm7f-s711
The data reported here is based on the results from 1) interviews, 2) Net-Maps, and 3) an allocation game with fishers in the Tana river, Norway.
The data was collected over two years, with the aim of collecting data from the vignettes in the winter of 2022/2023 and playing a follow-up game with the same participants in the spring of 2023. Participants were recruited from a list of active fishers provided by the Tana River Management (TF).
However, while most of the participants in 2022 agreed to a follow-up in 2023 (one declined), eight of the 2022 participants were unreachable in 2023. Thus, thirty-five participants played the game in 2023 (we excluded two participants who requested to be removed from the game after playing). See Table 1 in the associated publication for descriptive data.
