The field of marine resources management is very broad and diverse. It is also very dynamic as new and
exciting research is being produced in emerging fields such as aquaculture and integrated management.
This research proposes to evaluate the trends in research pertaining to the many fields within marine
resources...
The current discourse on marine resource management or coastal fishery is favouring collaborative management (Co-management). That is a shared management practice between government and community. Co-management is argued to correct the ineffectiveness of centralized management system as well as empower the weakening practice of traditional marine resource management (TMRM) and...
Seven economic instruments including property right regime, tradable permit, bond and deposit refund, liability, fiscal instrument, financial instrument, and charge system were considered for rehabilitations of coastal resources including mangrove, coastal water, coral, sea grass and seaweed, tourism, and fishery resources. Criteria on selective economic instruments were previous practice, management...
The article discusses the issue of revitalization of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and traditional resources management system in Indonesia. This issue becomes popular recently due to the fact that resources depletion caused by anthropogenic factors has challenged the future of human life and resource itself. Therefore, this leads people to...
Although the ocean provides living space for about 97 percent of life on Earth, less than 5 percent of the ocean below the surface has actually been seen, let alone explored. Now, using the geographic information system (GIS), marine scientists are gaining new insights into a once-mysterious world. A technologically...
This paper explores the issue of using marine reserves in combination with quotas as fisheries management tools. The underlying biological dynamics are described by a patchy environment model, in which a metapopulation is built up by linked sub-populations that are distributed across a set of spatially discrete habitats or patches....
Are Marine Protected Areas positive for adjacent fisheries? This is a study of the technical efficiency of small-scale trawlers in Nha Trang, Vietnam following establishment of Nha Trang Bay Marine Protected Area (NTB-MPA) that imposed a trawl ban to protect marine biodiversity and regenerate fish stocks. Data were collected through...
In 1998, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary initiated the “Tortugas 2000” planning process that would lead to the eventual designation (2001) of the largest marine reserve in the US: The Dry Tortugas Ecological Reserve (DTER). This resulting research, targeted commercial fishermen operating in the DTER region, determining the total...
