  • Can the Knowledge Society Turn Around 500 Years of Overfishing?

    Creator:
    Stern-Pirlot, Amanda and Froese, Rainer
    Abstract:
    As early as 1491 in an Act of Parliament during the reign of Henry VII of England, overfishing and the capture of juveniles were recognized as root causes of declining fish catches, and since then, minimum capture sizes, closed seasons and areas, and gear restrictions have been implemented to address...

  • Is There Hope for Fisheries Management?

    Creator:
    Schrank, William E.
    Abstract:
    Fisheries is not the only discipline where models have been used in attempts to fine tune an aspect of the economy. Such fine tuning can prove ineffective because of the uncertainties in the scientific underpinnings of the models and because of the omission of critical elements. In fisheries, the biological...

  • Improving Sustainability for Fish and Fisherman

    Creator:
    Galligan, Monica
    Abstract:
    The 2005 Gulf of Mexico hurricanes devastated not only fishing boats but also many businesses interdependent with fishermen: processing plants, ice plants, boat builders, net makers and other suppliers. Fuel prices and other expenses have increased. Wholesale catch prices are down due to damaged markets, lack of storage facilities and,...

  • Exploring Survey Methodologies for Collecting Recreational Angler Expenditure Data

    Creator:
    Gentner, Brad
    Abstract:
    Beginning in 1998 on the East Coast of the United States (US) and ending on the West Coast of the US in 2000, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducted a series of surveys to gauge marine recreational angler expenditures by region. These surveys were conducted using the Marine Recreational...

  • Science and Policy Integration for Coastal System Assessment (SPICOSA) An Application to a Mussels Fishery

    Creator:
    Raux, Pascal, Bailly, Denis, and Bacher, Cédric
    Abstract:
    The overall objective of SPICOSA is to develop a self-evolving, holistic research approach for integrated assessment of Coastal Systems so that the best available scientific knowledge can be mobilized to support deliberative and decision-making processes aimed at improving the sustainability of Coastal Systems by implementing Integrated Coastal Zone Management policies....

  • Implications of bycatch reduction strategies for the economic viability of mixed fisheries

    Creator:
    Martinet, Vincent and Thebaud, Olivier
    Abstract:
    There is growing recognition worldwide that the impacts of fishing on non-targeted components of marine ecosystems should be included in the assessment of fisheries sustainability. This leads to the inclusion of new constraints in evaluations of the long-term bio-economic performance of fisheries. In this paper, we analyze the implications of...

  • Foundations for Effective Marine Ecosystem Management

    Creator:
    McClurg, Tom
    Abstract:
    Marine ecosystems are generally more extensive and complex than terrestrial ecosystems. Our understanding of the ecological relationships and biological processes within marine ecosystems is rudimentary but improving. In addition, our appreciation of the range of goods and services available from the marine environment and demand for competing economic uses of...

  • Regulations, Risk, and Rent Seeking Behaviour with application to fisheries

    Creator:
    Brandt, Urs and Bergfjord, Ole Jakob
    Abstract:
    This paper seeks to address how political risk influences behaviour, in particular rent seeking behaviour. Such risk is important in many industries, which posts challenges both for policy makers and economic agents. This paper studies how political uncertainty affects rent seeking, and what level of political uncertainty is optimal for...
