Stakeholder evaluation of market based approaches towards managing the adverse impacts of commercial fishing on the marine environment

Creator:: Swart, Brycen
Abstract:: Over fishing, by-catch of non-target fish species, marine mammals, seabirds, and damage to benthic habitats remain serious problems in fisheries management. Management methods based on traditional command and control (CAC) approaches may meet with initial successes yet additional progress is often marginal, requiring managers to implement additional regulations to achieve...
