  • Economic Values of Protected Marine Species: Empirical Studies and Challenges for Ecosystem-Based Management

    Creator:
    Lew, Daniel
    Abstract:
    The literature related to valuing the protection of threatened and endangered marine species using stated preference non-market valuation methods is summarized and examined. This includes an evaluation of the suitability of existing threatened, endangered, and rare marine species values as inputs for the analysis of marine and coastal policies, and...

  • The Effect of Days at Sea Limits on Technical Efficiency

    Creator:
    Georgianna, Daniel, Kirkley, James, and Thunberg, Eric
    Abstract:
    Outputs and inputs during 1994-2006 in the USA Northeast Multispecies (groundfish) fishery—including days fished for a group of 47 otter trawl vessels fishing out of New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA—were analyzed to test the hypothesis that restricting the annual days-at-sea (DAS) of individual fishing vessels increased Technical Efficiency (TE). The results...

  • Managing fisheries without restricting catch or effort : the use of marine reserves for inshore fisheries

    Creator:
    Holland, Daniel S.
    Abstract:
    Although widely accepted, management systems that directly restrict catch or effort are neither efficient nor desirable for many fisheries, and have failed to conserve fishery stocks in many cases. Fisheries scientists have suggested that closing part of the fishery with marine reserves may sustain or increase harvest. These marine reserves...

  • How Do Harvest Rates Affect Angler Trip Behavior?

    Creator:
    Lew, Daniel and Larson, Douglas
    Abstract:
    Incorporating catch or harvest rate information in repeated-choice recreation fishing demand models is challenging, since multiple sources of information may be available and detail on how harvest rates change within a season is often lacking. This paper develops a framework for evaluating which source(s) of information should be used to...

  • Incentive Systems for Reducing Bycatch In the Alaska Pollock/Salmon Fishery

    Creator:
    Wilen, James
    Abstract:
    The bycatch problem has remained troubling and persistent, even in fisheries that have rationalized their target fisheries. The Alaskan Pollock fishery is an example of a fishery struggling to contain the bycatch of salmon in spite of a transformation of incentives associated with a harvester coop system in the target...

  • Auctions for Initial Sale of Annual Catch Entitlement

    Creator:
    Anderson, Christopher and Holland, Daniel S.
    Abstract:
    When several new species are introduced into the New Zealand Quota Management System in the near future, some of the quota, or single-year annual catch entitlement (ACE), will be tendered through competitive auctions rather than allocated based on historical catch. This study uses a laboratory experiment calibrated to a representative...

  • The British Columbia Salmon Fishery “Buyback” Program? A Case Study in Capacity Reduction

    Creator:
    James, Michelle
    Abstract:
    Between 1996 and 2000, the Federal Government of Canada reduced the number of salmon fishing licences in British Columbia by 50%, from a total of 4416 to the current 2221 licences, through voluntary “licence retirement”. The total cost of this program was $273.5 million over 5 years. The purpose of...

  • State Dependence in Modeling the Spatial Behavior of Renewable Resource Users

    Creator:
    Smith, Martin D. and Wilen, James E.
    Abstract:
    In marine resource management, spatial policy instruments, including Marine Protected Areas, are becoming increasingly important. The economic motivation for spatially explicit policy is that renewable resources generate, in addition to the conventionally recognized incentives to over-harvest in the face of insecure property rights, spatial externalities that distort the spatial distribution...

  • Over-capacity, Regulation and Rent: A Norwegian Case Study

    Creator:
    Asche, Frank, Bjorndal, Trond, and Gordon, Daniel V.
    Abstract:
    Traditional fisheries management schemes provide fishermen with incentives to maximise their individual share of the catch, while individual vessel quota management schemes change incentives to maximise profits from their individual share of the catch. The way that one models the fishermen’s optimisation problem in empirical studies should reflect the changed...

  • Fishing Down the Food Chain: Modeling Trophic interactions in Exploited Marine Ecosystems

    Creator:
    Wilen, Christopher and Wilen, James
    Abstract:
    There is increasing concern among fisheries scientists and managers over the ecosystem effects of fisheries exploitation. This concern has been motivated by several publications inferring that the structure of marine ecosystems has been dramatically altered by historical patterns of fishing. Among the most cited studies is the paper by Pauly...
