Creator:: Squires, Dale and Garcia, Serge
Abstract:: The Biodiversity Impact Mitigation (BIM) hierarchy provides an overarching conservation framework for bycatch reduction, and more broadly for biodiversity conservation. This framework includes four steps, which are implemented sequentially to: (i) avoid and (ii) minimize impacts; (iii) rehabilitate/restore impacted biodiversity; and (iv), compensate such impacts, usually elsewhere. The first three steps...

Creator:: Squires, Dale
Abstract:: The vaquita, a critically endangered marine mammal, is a bycatch to shrimp strawl and gillnet fisheries in the upper Gulf of California. Reducing vaquita bycatch, however, is complex. The fisheries are smaller-scale and major contributors of income and employment to coastal communities. Although tourism is increasingly important, fishing remains an...

Abstract:: The established of exclusive rights to fish is essential for tuna-Regional Fisheries Management Organizations to prevent overfishing, achieve sustainability, and to realize maximum economic benefits. Exclusive use or property rights may be based on catch, effort, or licenses, and similar systems can be used for bycatch. Unique issues arise compared...

Creator:: Squires, Dale and Bull, Joe
Abstract:: Bycatch reduction policies, traditionally focused on command-and-control at-sea measures, can be reframed to a broader-based biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management strategy. More cost- and ecologically-effective bycatch mitigation measures may directly and more effectively increase impacted populations elsewhere in their geographic range or life cycle. At-sea bycatch reduction faces diminishing returns...

Creator:: Squires, Dale and Vestergaard, Niels
Abstract:: Stronger microeconomic foundations to dynamic renewable resource models lead to rethinking the commons problem. Specifications of technology consistent with microeconomics allow reinterpretating the market failure under open access for common resources, the dynamic economic optimum, and global commons issues in general. The market failure is broader and deeper than previously...
