  • The Role of Economics in Fisheries Management: A Personal Perspective Keynote Address

    Creator:
    Ward, John
    Abstract:
    These experiences working on regional and national problems for fisheries managers in NMFS have given me a perspective on the role of economics in fisheries management that I am going to share with you today. I would like to stress that this perspective is unique to me and does not...

  • 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...

  • Fishing in a Shallow Lake: A Case for Effort Controls?

    Creator:
    Janmaat, John and Ruijs, Arjan
    Abstract:
    In many situation, fishing activity adversely impacts the state of the marine ecosystem, impacts which feed back to affect fish stocks. Some ecosystems appear to have multiple equilibria and exhibit hysteresis, whereby they can become stuck in low productivity states. We show how adding ecosystem dynamics to a classic fisheries...

  • A Vessel Cost Sampling Model

    Creator:
    Gates, John M. and Kitts, Andrew
    Abstract:
    The Social Sciences Branch (SSB) of NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) uses economic data to estimate the economic impacts of fisheries regulatory actions. Since 1995, the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program has collected trip cost information from commercial fishing vessels on which observers have been deployed. However, the allocation of...

  • Fisheries in a Complex System

    Creator:
    Finoff, David and Tschirhart, John
    Abstract:
    An important subset of natural resource management addresses preserving and/or harvesting biological resources. Examples are policies that derive from the Endangered Species Act including habitat conservation plans, the U.S. Forest Service’s logging practices, and fishery management councils’ decisions regarding catches. To understand the effectiveness of management policies requires an understanding...

  • A Simple Buy-back Auction for Fisheries Management

    Creator:
    Ledyard, John and Groves, Ted
    Abstract:
    In an open fishery, the competition for the limited fish stock can lead fishermen to a ``race for fish" with sub-optimally high capital investments. Buyback programs to reduce excess capacity in national fisheries have been often used, but seldom successful. Where they have successfully reduced excess capacity, the programs have...

  • 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...

  • A Simple Matter of Herring Fishery Management

    Creator:
    Gates, John, Kitts, Andrew, and Logan, Philip
    Abstract:
    In 1996, the US New England Fishery Management Council formed a technical team (PDT) to develop a new plan for Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus harengus). The inshore stock was close to fully exploited while the offshore stock was underexploited. There were few full-time herring harvesters and very few processors. Fresh...

  • 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...

  • The Economics of Cooperative Fishery Research: A Survey of U.S. West Coast Groundfish Industry and Scientists

    Creator:
    Harms, John and Sylvia, Gil
    Abstract:
    Cooperative research, the active participation of industry in scientific research, is receiving increased attention as an alternative to traditional government-sponsored methods. Its strongest attributes are its potential to improve spatial and temporal collection of fishery data while reducing some research costs. Despite these potential benefits, there are obstacles to adopting...
