  • Harmful Subsidies Are Made for Inequality and Unsustainability

    Creator:
    Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    I first of all sketch a picture of the importance of fisheries to people and argue that our interactions with fish stocks, for the most part, are currently unsustainable. Next, I identify the provision of capacity-enhancing subsidies by governments or what has been described as ‘harmful' or ‘bad' subsidies in the...

  • Fisheries Subsidies: Why Should You Care About Them?

    Creator:
    Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    The objective of this paper is to provide an analysis of the current state of fisheries subsidies worldwide, and how they are likely to affect the sustainability of fisheries. More specifically, I will review previous investigations of global subsidies issues, and give a brief overview of the impact of subsidies...

  • Skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tuna allocation within a game theoretic framework

    Creator:
    Bailey, Megan and Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    Collaborative management is essential in fisheries with multiple users, where different fishing groups compete to exploit a shared stock, often using unsustainable practices. This is the case in the Coral Triangle, an ecosystem increasingly coveted by conservation organizations for its high biodiversity, and heavily exploited by fishing groups from the...

  • Toward a Global Picture of the Economic Contributions by Women in Fisheries

    Creator:
    Harper, Sarah and Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    Women's contributions to fisheries are often overlooked in fisheries management, economic analyses, and consequently, in policy decisions. Fortunately, women's contributions are gaining recognition despite a lack of quantitative data describing the scope and scale of their participation in the sector. While there are numerous studies describing the role of women...

  • Current and Potential Economic Rent in the Namibian Hake Fishery

    Creator:
    Marsden, A. Dale and Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    We estimated the economic rent obtained currently (that is, in 2002) in the Namibian hake fishery and the rent that might potentially be obtainable if the fishery were managed optimally in the sense of economics. We first reviewed previous economic and biological studies. We then used the theory and model...

  • Limits to the privatization of fishery resources

    Creator:
    Clark, Colin, Munro, Gordon, and Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    A debate is emerging over the extent to which privatization of fishery resources – private ownership and resource management without significant state oversight- is practical and socially desirable. What we term the “optimists” maintain that there are no effective limits to privatization and that the decades old fear that privatization...

  • Catch Shares, the Theory of Cooperative Games and the Spirit of Elinor Ostrom: A Research Agenda

    Creator:
    Munro, Gordon, Sumaila, U. Rashid, and Turris, Bruce
    Abstract:
    This paper puts forth the proposition that all catch share schemes should be analysed primarily through the lens of cooperative game theory, which has now been developed to an advanced degree in the analysis of international fisheries management. If the fishers in a catch share scheme are playing cooperatively, the...

  • The Economic Viability of Small- vs. Large-Scale Fisheries: An Example from Mexico

    Creator:
    Schuhbauer, Anna, Cisneros-Montemayor, Andrés, and Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    Achieving economic viability is an important goal when it comes to developing policies for sustainable fisheries management, especially for small-scale fisheries (SSF). SSF are vital for many coastal communities, however, often economically and politically marginalized. Here, we develop and estimate what we denote as ‘basic economic viability’ of SSF, using...

  • Retrospective Economic Analysis of Fraser River Sockeye Salmon Fishery Management

    Creator:
    Marsden, A. Dale, Sumaila, U. Rashid, and Martell, Steven J. D.
    Abstract:
    Many Fraser River sockeye salmon stocks show large cycles in abundance from year to year, but the causes of these cycles are not clear. As a result, these stocks have historically been managed under the hypothesis of cyclic dominance, i.e., maintaining the cyclic behaviour of the stocks. Biological studies and...

  • Strategies for Fishery Subsidy Reform

    Creator:
    Cisneros-Montemayor, Andrés, Sumaila, U. Rashid, Munro, Gordon R., Sanjurjo, Enrique, and Hernandez Trejo, Victor
    Abstract:
    Subsidies can directly support unsustainable fishing practices that harm both ecosystems and long-term social and economic benefits. Globally, fishery subsidies total around US$27 billion, yet their impacts on fishing dynamics are specific to given regions or particular fisheries and fishery subsidies within a nation have markedly different effects when applied...
