This paper investigates interactions between recreational and commercial fisheries. It introduces the idea of a protected area for recreational fisheries, as a way to reduce conflicts between the two sectors and to preserve the natural resource. It is demonstrated that without a protected area for recreational fisheries, open access may...
There is considerable debate in the literature about the usefulness of Marine Protected Areas as fishery management tools. While most economists have found that it is unlikely that marine reserves will improve steady-state yields, some biologists have shown that protected areas have the potential to reduce uncertainty. Most of the...
This paper focuses on the consequences of managing small-scale fisheries without consideration of geographical differentiation in reproductive potential through a species range. Because fishing costs
increase with distance, the alternative port locations are predicted to have substantially different impacts on biological and economic performance variables when there are no spatial...
