Your student may want to check out the work of Robert Pomeroy (UConn) and Richard Pollnac (URI) (both collectively and individually), and, of course, IUCN's working group on Poverty and Environment within CEESP (http://www.iucn.org/themes/ceesp/) . As for potential case studies, I usually point to the Locally Managed Marine Areas Network (http://www.lmmanetwork.org/) as a stellar example of how conservation on the ground will eventually be done, if it's going to be culturally appropriate and, therefore, sustainable (but that seems a different conversation.).

I'm going to ground my research in studies of coral reefs and am hoping to find case studies of community managed, or mismanaged coral reefs. ...I was wondering if you had suggestions on where to look for this information....
