Artisanal or small scale inshore fisheries are one of the economic sub sectors of the economy and make valuable economic contribution to the coastal communities of Tanzania. It provides rich protein food, employment, income thus contribute to their livelihood. The fishery also contributes significantly to foreign earnings and revenue. Small-scale...

Small-scale fisheries make key contributions to food security, sustainable livelihoods and poverty reduction, yet to date the economic value of small-scale fisheries has been poorly quantified. In this study, we take a novel approach by characterizing post-landing trends of small-scale fisheries resources and estimating their total economic value, including both...
The main instrument used in fishery management is the total allowable catch (TAC). Fishery management often fails because TACs are set too high and do not sufficiently restrict fisheries. The question we address in this paper is why do decision makers choose inefficiently high TACs? Our approach is to model...
Managed fisheries are frequently structured on a sector by sector basis with each sector defined by the type of user or use, for example commercial, recreational and indigenous sectors. Management arrangements for a sector, however, may not be formally integrated with those for other sectors. Consequent competition between sectors for...
Human adaptation to change is an essential determinant in the resilience of complex social-ecological systems. In the field of water policy and management it has become increasingly clear that traditional government actors cannot fully address emerging water problems at every scale given a demonstrated lack of resources, increasing variability in...
La lagune de Nador se caractérise par un écosystème semi-fermé, en communication avec la mer par une étroite passe. Cet écosystème est sous l'influence de plusieurs facteurs externes tels que l'ensoleillement, l'apport en eau douce, les eaux de ruissellement, le lessivage des champs agricoles et les eaux usées urbaines. L'influence...
Le projet «système d’information géographique pour les pêcheries en Afrique de l’Ouest » a pour objectif de promouvoir l’utilisation des systèmes d’information géographique comme outil d’aide à la décision en matière d’aménagement des pêcheries. Un rappel préliminaire des critères caractérisant un produit d’aide à la décision (accessibilité technique, disponibilité en...
The last three years RIVO-DLO and LEI-DLO have developed a bio-economic simulation model for the Dutch beam trawl fishery. At the VII th IIFET conference in Taipei (1994, Taiwan) some preliminary results were presented and at the 4th EAFE bio-economic modeling workshop in Edinburgh (1995, United Kingdom) the final model...
