  • Fishermen's Values Concerning the Queen Conch and Lobster in Boca de Yuma, East National Park, Dominican Republic

    Creator:
    Ruiz, Victor
    Abstract:
    This paper, that follows from the ongoing Ecost project, departs from the reality of marine biodiversity degradation in the Caribbean. It first enquires how local fishing communities appreciate and measure the degradation of marine biodiversity. In this connection, it asks whether communities have social and cultural attachments to particular species....

  • Developing a Strategy for Managing the Environmental Effects of Fishing

    Creator:
    McMurran, Jennie and Peacey, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    There is increasing awareness of and concern about the actual and potential adverse effects of fishing on the aquatic environment. New Zealand, like many other countries, has developed a range of initiatives to address specific issues related to the effects of fishing, including establishing marine reserves, fishing method restrictions, observer...

  • Marine Reserves and Quotas as Fisheries Management Tools: When does Marine Reserve Creation Pay?

    Creator:
    Reithe, Siv
    Abstract:
    This paper explores the issue of using marine reserves in combination with quotas as fisheries management tools. The underlying biological dynamics are described by a patchy environment model, in which a metapopulation is built up by linked sub-populations that are distributed across a set of spatially discrete habitats or patches....

  • Characterization of the Dry Tortugas Commercial Fishery: Methodology and Findings

    Creator:
    Murray, Thomas J., Leeworthy, Vernon R., and Shivlani, Manoj
    Abstract:
    In 1998, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary initiated the “Tortugas 2000” planning process that would lead to the eventual designation (2001) of the largest marine reserve in the US: The Dry Tortugas Ecological Reserve (DTER). This resulting research, targeted commercial fishermen operating in the DTER region, determining the total...

  • Attitudes and perceptions of New Zealand marine recreational fishers towards the management of their fishery

    Creator:
    Walshe, Kim
    Abstract:
    New Zealand marine recreational fisher’s attitudes to their fisheries and fisheries management are discussed in the light of the findings from two studies. The first study, a national telephone survey of more than 600 fishers, investigated why fishers seek to go recreational fishing and their attitudes towards the fisheries management....

  • Ecosystem-based Management of Marine Capture Fisheries

    Creator:
    Short, Katherine
    Abstract:
    Over the past 50 years, most efforts to regulate fishing and conserve our oceans and seas only have had limited success in preventing the on-going problems of over-fishing, degradation of the marine environment, and irreversible loss of marine biodiversity. Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) of the oceans is an approach that is...

  • Fishing in a Shallow Lake: A Case for Effort Controls?

    Creator:
    Janmaat, John and Ruijs, Arjan
    Abstract:
    In many situation, fishing activity adversely impacts the state of the marine ecosystem, impacts which feed back to affect fish stocks. Some ecosystems appear to have multiple equilibria and exhibit hysteresis, whereby they can become stuck in low productivity states. We show how adding ecosystem dynamics to a classic fisheries...

  • Obligations to Protect Marine Ecosystems Under International Conventions and other Legal Instruments

    Creator:
    Aqorau, Transform
    Abstract:
    Traditional approaches to fisheries management, which have been singular, species-based and non-sectoral, have failed to protect the world’s fisheries resources. This has resulted in the overexploitation of fish stocks, displacement of fishing fleets and dislocation of fishing communities. The first attempts at international regulation of fisheries were simple, but premised...

    Doring, Ralf
    Abstract:
    At a hearing about the Green Paper (an analysis of the EU fisheries policy over the last 10 years and an outlook for the next decade) the following statement was given by an economist: „The Ecosystem Approach is the fata morgana of the fisheries biologists.“ Indeed, a lot of biologists...

  • The ecosystem approach and fisheries management institutions: the noble art of addressing complexity and uncertainty with all onboard and on a budget

    Creator:
    Degnbol, Poul
    Abstract:
    The inclusion of ecosystem considerations in fisheries management implies two changes with extensive institutional repercussions: the uncertainties about states and outcomes rise dramatically and a multiplicity of new stakeholders, interests and objectives must be accommodated in the management institutions. The first change may potentially add immense costs to the management...
