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...
In 2003, an industry-financed, government-administered buyback of trawl
fishing permits and vessels took place on the US West Coast, resulting in
the retirement of about one-third of the limited-entry trawl fleet. The lack
of cost data in this fishery precludes an analysis of how the buyback has
affected profitability, but...
Based on empirical studies carried out in Reunion Island, Moheli
(Comoros) and Madagascar, this communication deals with the non
biological productions of MPAS as a major driver of the marine resources
conservations governance. Three types of productions can be drawn for
each type of stakeholders: territorial, behavioural and economic. Firtly,...
The primary purpose of this Guide is to encourage private landowners to conserve, and when appropriate, actively manage Oregon white oaks that already exist on their property, and consider planting additional oaks. In the early chapters of the Guide, we describe some of the uses and benefits of this remarkable...
The popularity of Oregon Scenic Waterways continues to increase, indicating that
the public values these waterways more than ever. Oregon s exceptional endowment of
undeveloped rivers and lakes contributes in many important ways to the high quality of
life that residents and tourists enjoy, and is a key reason why...
A major simplification in bioeconomic models is that the model parameters
and functional forms are assumed known. In fisheries, the failure to capture
model uncertainty can easily cause overconfidence in model outputs and
resultant policy recommendations. Although fisheries modelers regularly
assume rather complete knowledge of the systems they study, in...
A fisher’s decision making process is governed by some key questions that need to be answered for each fishing trip: whether or not to commence a fishing trip, where to go fishing and when to return to port. We studied these decisions on the basis of the results of questionnaire...
In ecosystem-based fishery management, the ecosystem comprises the
natural sub-system and also human components, including user groups,
institutions and the processes of management. Regional Fishery
Management Organizations (RFMOs), particularly those designed to
manage tunas, were not established with an ecosystem view of the pelagic
environment. However, tuna RFMOs have evolved...
Adoption of aquaculture, particularly among the rural poor, requires timely
and quality seed at the farmer level. In areas of Northwest Bangladesh, the
region considered most marginalised for food production, carp polyculture
has been improved through the introduction of Nile tilapia, but constrained
by under-developed seed supply. In order to...
In southeast Portugal, some coastal fishing communities have experienced intensified competition for harvestable stocks, and this impacted with some severity on small-scale fishermen who are especially dependent on fishing for their livelihoods. In the last decade or so, various "structural instruments" have been created in order to address this particular...
Focus on Forestry is published three times each year (Fall, Winter, Spring) by the Oregon State University College of Forestry. Our goal is to keep Forestry alumni and friends informed about the College of Forestry and its many activities and programs.
