The New Fisheries Catch Shares Program in Argentina: Balancing Efficiency and Equity Objectives in Rights-Based Management Systems

Creator:: Stefanksi, Stephanie
Abstract:: While rights-based management is generally purported enhance economic efficiency in fisheries and reduce over-capitalization, the social and economic outcomes due to this regulatory regime are less comprehensively understood. Relatively recently, industrialized and export-oriented Latin American fisheries began adopting individual transferable quota (ITQ) regimes to recover collapsed fish stocks. While these...

The Round Table of Mexican Fisheries: Fisheries Governance Examples from Northwestern Mexico

Creator:: Zepeda Domínguez, Jose Alberto, Zetina-Rejón, Manuel, Espinoza-Tenorio, Alejandro, Ponce-Díaz, Germán, Arreguín-Sánchez, Francisco, and Lluch-Belda, Daniel
Abstract:: Fisheries management currently claims for fisheries governance (FG), a more balanced scheme that proposes to share the power among government, civil society and economics. In Mexico and other developing countries, the lack of operational regulations has delayed its implementation. Several authors state that topological analysis is useful to identify key...

Exploration of Non-Monetary Benefits of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Certification, Lessons from the Developing World

Creator:: Zepeda Domínguez, Jose Alberto, Torre-Cosio, Jorge, and José Espinosa-Romero, María
Abstract:: Eco-labels have been developed to face the difficulties faced by States in managing fisheries. They promote the voluntary adoption of sustainable practices, through market differentiation of sustainably produced items. In fisheries, the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is the most commonly used eco-label. The label is presumed to increase the social and...

Explaining Heterogeneity in Responses to Seafood Information Campaigns

Creator:: Weir, Michael and Uchida, Hirotsugu
Abstract:: Recently, the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) recommended that pregnant and nursing women consume at least 8 to 12 ounces of seafood per week as part of a well-balanced diet. Thus, the seafood market has been flooded with health benefit/risk information targeted at women...

Using Choice Models to Inform Marine Spatial Planning: A Case Study of Marine Protected Area Designs off the U.S. West Coast

Creator:: Wallmo, Kristy and Kosaka, Rosemary
Abstract:: Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a process that planners can use to make decisions about different, sometimes conflicting, ocean uses. The process is intended to be participatory and to facilitate the sharing of information about multiple uses of the marine environment. In the U.S. an important component of MSP is...

Ecosystem Service Valuation: A U.S. Policy Context

Creator:: Wallmo, Kristy
Abstract:: In the last several years a number of U.S. policies and directives have laid the foundation for Ecosystem Service Valuation (ESV) to be incorporated into ecosystem-based management (EBM), the current management paradigm for U.S. oceans and coasts. In 2010 the Final Recommendations of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force instructed...

Distributional Performance of a Territorial Use Right and Co-Managed Small-Scale Fishery Targeting a Metapopulation Using Artificial Shelters

Creator:: Villanueva-Poot, Raul, Seijo, Juan Carlos, Headley, Maren, and Cuevas Jiménez, Alfonso
Abstract:: This work reports on how resource rent is distributed among owners of exclusive fishing grounds in the spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) fishery of Punta Allen, Mexico. This MSC certified small-scale fishery is co-managed through Territorial User Rights. Members of the local fishing cooperative, have exclusive access to individual fishing grounds....

Fishery Participation and Location Choice: The West Coast Salmon Fishery

Creator:: Vasquez Caballero, Smit, Sylvia, Gilbert, and Holland, Dan
Abstract:: A behavioral study on fishery participation and fishing location choice for the West Coast Salmon fishermen was undertaken to determine the effect of salmon fishery closures on the distribution of fishermen across alternative fisheries and fishing locations. A dataset describing fishing trips from West Coast salmon vessels from 2005 to...

The Economic Impacts of Emerging Diseases in Shrimp Aquaculture: Insights from a Multi-Year, Global Survey of the Industry

Creator:: Valderrama, Diego, Anderson, James, and Jory, Darryl
Abstract:: Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), initially referred to as early mortality syndrome (EMS), is an emergent bacterial disease that has resulted in substantial economic losses for the global shrimp farming industry. Its occurrence was first reported in China in 2009, rapidly spreading to Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and eventually Mexico in...

A New Theory of Change for the Sustainable Seafood Movement

Creator:: Uchida, Hirotsugu, Roheim, Kathy, Bush, Simon, Sanchirico, James, Asche, Frank, and Zou, Chao
Abstract:: This paper is the result of a project that began with NAAFE 2015 special session on Fisheries Certification, which asked what forces are driving the market for sustainable seafood. Many previous studies looked at consumers' demand, but in this paper we looked at the entire supply chain (from producers to...

Cooperative Management of Trans-Boundary Fish Stocks: Implications for Tropical Tuna Management in the Pacific Island Region

Creator:: Tokunaga, Kanae
Abstract:: The trans-boundary migration of fish stocks creates spatial externalities, and hence, makes international cooperation beneficial. This study provides a model for the management of straddling and highly migratory fish stocks and examines the relationship between fish migrations and the benefits from cooperation. Previous studies on trans-boundary fish stock management have...

Who Opposes ITQs?

Creator:: Sutherland, Sara
Abstract:: When evaluating potential government interventions economists often consider whether a proposed policy is efficient. However, changes in policy can also result in changes in wealth. When politically influential individuals or groups see losses, efficient policies can become politically infeasible even if they increase wealth in aggregate. This paper examines political...

Economic Assessment of the Biological Dynamics of Florida’s Commercial Snapper-Grouper Fishery

Creator:: Stevens, Molly, Ault, Jerald, Smith, Steve, and Agar, Juan
Abstract:: The goal of this research was to characterize the trade-offs between profitability and sustainability when managing a valuable commercial fishery. The Florida finfish fishery generates over $75 million in annual dockside value; the snapper-grouper complex constitutes over half of that total. Currently, federal stock assessment procedures focus on stock size...

Least-Cost Bycatch Reduction Through the Biodiversity Mitigation Hierarchy

Creator:: Squires, Dale and Garcia, Serge
Abstract:: The Biodiversity Impact Mitigation (BIM) hierarchy provides an overarching conservation framework for bycatch reduction, and more broadly for biodiversity conservation. This framework includes four steps, which are implemented sequentially to: (i) avoid and (ii) minimize impacts; (iii) rehabilitate/restore impacted biodiversity; and (iv), compensate such impacts, usually elsewhere. The first three steps...

Market-Based Incentives for Vaquita Conservation

Creator:: Squires, Dale
Abstract:: The vaquita, a critically endangered marine mammal, is a bycatch to shrimp strawl and gillnet fisheries in the upper Gulf of California. Reducing vaquita bycatch, however, is complex. The fisheries are smaller-scale and major contributors of income and employment to coastal communities. Although tourism is increasingly important, fishing remains an...
