The Coral Triangle Initative is a new initative in environmental ecosystem management which as officially kicked-off by 6 countries in December 2007. The paper reviews the history of the initiative (transboundary international "Peace parks" concept, bringing together other eco-regional initiatives) and points to the direction it is currently taking with...
After 1950 traditional herring fisheries were revolutionized by a new technique: sonar, power block, larger
nets and bigger boats. As a result all major herring stocks in the North East Atlantic Ocean collapsed. The
most dramatic decline was that of the Atlanto-Scandian stock between Iceland and Norway from millions
of...
Climate change may cause significant changes in the distribution, abundance, and species mix of commercial fishery resources. In any given area stocks of some species may decline; stocks of other species may increase; and new species may appear in commercially significant volumes. However, it is difficult to predict what specific...
Many international fisheries agreements involve sharing rules. These rules are normally stable rules, not contingent on shifts in the relative distribution or development of the resource. In the latest IPCC report,
the most likely future scenario is an increase in the global mean temperature, and most severely in high
latitudes....
This paper briefly describes the past development of the Bali Strait small pelagic fishery, and presents the impact of increasing fishing pressure and climatic variable on the quantity of catch. This paper then presents an estimate of its rent potential and the impact of increasing fishing pressure on rent at...
The 2007 Oregon State University Diversity Action Plan is designed to provide a strategic direction for all of the university's diversity-related efforts.
The OSU Government Relations Office provides periodic updates that describe events in Washington, DC and Salem. These updates include insights on how budget and policy decisions at the state and federal level will affect OSU and are issued once or twice a month, depending on the level of activities in...

Climate change and climate-induced changes are expected to increase in the future and are likely to cause adverse impacts, especially on aquatic resources and coastal communities, by affecting the productivity and distribution of fish stocks. This will have serious implications on future demand and supply of fish at the global...
Like many global pelagic fisheries, the Hawaii-based longline fishery continues to face increased pressure to reduce the incidental catch of endangered sea turtles and/or other sensitive species. Aggregation and
movement of both sea turtles and fish are directly associated with climatic variations and oceanographic conditions. As a result, both targeted...
