ImportanceLow cost technology for limiting resource access enables users to exclude others without incurring prohibitive costs -this could enable them to avoid an open access situation.
Definition

Low-cost technology to limit access to the resource refers to any technology which can easily be deployed enabling users to keep others from using the resource. For example, in some inshore fishery systems, fishermen live along the shore and can see the entire fishing grounds from their homes, and can thus easily detect fishermen violating closures, and use their boats - docked near their homes - to intercept them.
