| Question | Does the relevant governance system allow for changing rights and restrictions applied to this actor group in accordance with environmental shifts and new scientific knowledge? |

| Role | CommonsUser |
| Importance | As SES systems change and/or new knowledge of SES dynamics is acquired the ability to change rights and restrictions in response to the new information helps to more appropriately manage and sustainably use the commons. An example of when problems may occur is when rights are grandfathered (when new institutions do not apply retroactively) or otherwise unchanged. |
| Definition | Rights and/or restrictions can be subject to review and effectively changed if necessary. |

| Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR recreational fishers | Not Applicable | |
| Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR commercial fishers | Yes | The governance system has removed capacity / rights from the system in response to new information. It also allows fishers some flexibility in where they fish in response to extreme events. |
| Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR recreational fishers | No | Because fishers aren't licensed the governance system does not necessarily respond to new information on rec fisher impacts. |
| Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica fisheries governance | Governance | Paquera-Tambor AMPR Costa Rica | Yes | |
| Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) | Governance | Galapagos Artisan Fishermen | Yes | Yes - the fishery is now closed because stocks are too low |
| Macquarie Island Marine Park | Governance | Australian Toothfish Fishers | Yes | The governance system has been evaluated and revised on a number of occasions. Most notably longline fishing that was initially prohibited is now permitted, but includes strict bycatch mitigation measures. |
| Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) | Governance | Galapagos Tourism Sector | Yes | New quotas each year. However, this is less based on scientific advice on the carrying capacity of the islands but rather a desire for more income. |
| Wakatobi National Park | Governance | Wakatobi Bajau fishers | No | No evidence of this. |

| Svalbard Nature Reserves | Governance | Svalbard Tourism | Yes | |
| Central California National Marine Sanctuaries | Governance | California Groundfish Fishermen | Yes | When stock assessments are completed, quotas and locations are shifted. Rockfish conservation areas can be changed as well according to changes in knowledge and environmental shifts. |

| Svalbard Nature Reserves | Governance | Svalbard Shrimp Fishers | Yes | The maximum number of fishing days was further reduced by 30% in 2006. http://www.fisheries.no/ecosystems-and-stocks/marine_stocks/shellfish/shrimp/#.VfxI2Zf08ms |
| Macquarie Island Marine Park | Governance | Australian Toothfish Fishers | Restrictions regarding bycatch of light-mantled albatross have been amended and become less strict allowing bycatch in proportion to the number of hooks set. However, bycatch mitigation measures are significant and have been effective. | |
| Heard and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve | Governance | Australian Toothfish Fishers | Yes | AFMA (in conjunction with AAD and CCAMLR) actively applies adaptive management to the HIMI toothfish fishery, including with regards to seabird bycatch mitigation measures. Further, as vessels show compliance and maintain zero incidental catch rates, some fishers can apply for exemptions from some regulations (see Croxall 2008, Collins et al. 2010). |
| Heard and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve | Governance | Australian Toothfish Fishers | Yes | The governance system has changed on a number of occasions due to new information, changing conservation goals, or to meet the desires and needs of the fishing industry. E.g., New rules allowed for the implementation of longline fishing, which is now the main means for catching toothfish at HIMI; or the implementation of seabird bycatch mitigation measures, which were developed based on growing awareness (and concern) over the devastation to seabird populations that longlining was causing. |

| Falkland Islands squid | Governance | Patagonian Squid Trawlers | Yes | In-season monitoring allows for in-season changes according to conditions (e.g. spawning times) or sudden disturbances (e.g. unusual Illex predation) |
| New Zealand squid | Governance | New Zealand Arrow Squid Fishers | Yes | Managers always engaging in conversations with scientists, and reviewing observation data. Make changes according to new information. New information can be squid abundance, and can increase TACC if good year. New information can be SLED efficacy, which can increase or decrease discount, or close fishery. Right to use is what is debated. |
| California squid | Governance | California market squid fishermen | Yes | Constant evaluation process. Can close fishery if conditions indicate no catch. |
