  • The Benefit of Hindsight; An Evaluation of North Sea Herring Management Plans From 1995 to the Present

    Creator:
    Simmonds, John and Anderson, John
    Abstract:
    In 1995 North Sea herring was estimated to have declined from previous high of around 1.5 million to 400,000 tonnes, the point at which significant reduction in recruitment had previously been observed. The response to this was to cut the fishery by reducing the human consumption TAC by 50% and...

  • Conservation for Sale: A Dynamic Common Agency Model of Natural Resource Regulation

    Creator:
    Boyce, John R.
    Abstract:
    This paper considers the regulation of a natural resource within a dynamic common agency framework. In setting harvest quotas, the regulator responds to lobbying pressure (contributions) from harvesters and conservationists. The truthful Markov perfect equilibrium stock is then an increasing function of the effective political weight for conservationists. Since the...

  • Buyback Auctions: Possibilities

    Creator:
    Ledyard, John
    Abstract:
    Buyback auctions are often proposed as a policy to reduce excess capacity in fishing fleets prior to or in place of implementing a tradable quota program.  In this paper I take a critical look at possible designs for such a policy in environments with uncertainty and asymmetric information.  In an...

  • Policy Options for Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean

    Creator:
    Kennedy, John
    Abstract:
    Highly migratory fish stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean are an important source of income for those Pacific island nations through whose economic zones the stocks pass, and for distant water fishing nations that target the stocks. Although the tropical stocks have been regarded in the past as...

    Creator:
    Anderson, John
    Abstract:
    Community quota schemes (CQS) have been introduced in some UK fishery dependent areas in an attempt to address the detrimental effects of the current market based approach to quota management. The most established and largest scheme operates in the Shetland Isles, where there was concern quota holdings could be traded...

  • Enforcement Program Optimisation Through Adaptive Management

    Creator:
    McKinlay, John P.
    Abstract:
    Western Australia operates a diverse enforcement and education program aimed at achieving high compliance in a wide range of commercial and recreational fisheries managed using a mix of input and output controls. Since enforcement resources are invariably insufficient to totally eliminate non-compliance with fishery rules, it is important to ensure...

  • Capacity, Excess Capacity, and Fisheries Management

    Creator:
    Ward, John
    Abstract:
    Excess capacity results because fishermen do not have an incentive to conserve fish in-the-sea causing them to over-invest in the capital used to harvest fish as well as other production or factor inputs.1 Excess capacity like overcapitalization and overfishing is a symptom of our regulated, open access fishery management system....

  • Indirect Benefits and Fisheries Management-A Case Study in the Mid Atlantic Region

    Creator:
    Gates, John M. and Mazotta, Marisa
    Abstract:
    Indirect benefits have a long history in the literature of benefit-cost (B-C) analysis. A commonmeasurement tool for indirect benefits is the Leontief or Input Output Model (I-O), and this paper discussesindirect benefits as if they are identical to I-O analysis. The B-C literature disparages I-O for assessing theeconomic efficiency of...
