ABSTRACT:
This paper focuses on knowledge management and knowledge sharing in particular. It is based on a study on estuaries in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. The purpose of the study was to gain an understanding of what constitutes knowledge sharing for the sustainable and utilisation of estuaries in the Eastern Cape. Knowledge sharing and distribution is key to the success of many processes in society. Scholars have demonstrated that sharing knowledge is problematic in most organizations, whether they are formal or informal. Knowledge sharing is even more problematic in “open” systems than in “closed” bureaucratic ones.

Knowledge should be shared and distributed in any environment, be it a “closed” business undertaking with formal structures or in an “open” system composed of different stakeholders with different organizational allegiances. Although there are in existence useful and effective knowledge sharing techniques that are used in formal organizations and “closed” systems, they are not wholly suitable for “open” systems.
