  • 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...

  • Considering the Costs of Enforcement: Improving Marine Spatial Planning

    Creator:
    Davis, Katrina, Pannell, David, Kragt, Marit, Gelcich, Stefan, and Schilizzi, Steven
    Abstract:
    Growing industrial and consumer demands are negatively affecting fish stocks, which are extracted above sustainable levels. Successful conservation of marine resources through restricted-use zoning systems such as marine reserves and territorial user rights schemes relies on support from marine stakeholders – particularly coastal fishing communities. Restricted use zoning will result...

  • Rights-Based Fishery Management Systems in Marine Fisheries off Alaska

    Creator:
    Ginter, Jay J. C. and Muse, Ben
    Abstract:
    Rights-based management in federally managed fisheries off Alaska has evolved rapidly over the past decade. While license limited entry and individual quotas (with rights assignments to vessel owners) were the principle tools under consideration in the early 1990s, in 2002 a wider range of programs and program options are under...

  • A Dual Production Analysis of a Multispecies Fishery: The Case of the U.S. Atlantic Longline Fleet

    Creator:
    Perruso, Larry and Larkin, Sherry
    Abstract:
    The harvest technology of several multispecies fisheries has been explained in the recent literature using dual-based models. These studies are useful for explaining rent dissipation, estimating input and output elasticities, as well as describing other aspects of fisherman behavior. Most of these analyses have assumed that inputs are fixed at...

  • Empirical Analysis of the Transboundary Dynamics for Georges Bank Groundfish

    Creator:
    Soboil, Mark Lucas and Sutinen, Jon G.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents an empirical model of Georges Bank transboundary groundfish fishery, and reports results of a dynamic bioeconomic simulation used to evaluate the consequences of alternative management strategies for the multispecies fishery. Since the distribution of the stocks of the principal groundfish resources involves substantial movement and migration across...

  • An Efficient and Distributionally Neutral IFQ Design

    Creator:
    Zhang, Xingguo, Matulich, Scott C., and Inaba, Fred
    Abstract:
    A two-stage, distributionally neutral and efficient rationalization policy design—one that preserves the ex ante wealth distribution—is developed by blending elements of a cooperative and a partnership. It is formally proven that there is no impediment to win-win rationalization using only IFQs allocated only to harvesters. The design creates a bilateral...

  • Transition to Rights-Based Management in Fisheries: Evidence from Alaska

    Creator:
    Toseland, Rebecca
    Abstract:
    Catch share programs are emerging as a rights-based management tool capable of improving biological and economic performance in marine fisheries relative to traditional command and control regulation approaches. This paper examines the determinants of the transition from command and control regulation to rights-based management in marine fisheries. I develop a...

  • Educating Us Fishery Managers And Policy Makers: The Problem Of Incentives

    Creator:
    Hanna, Susan
    Abstract:
    This paper addresses the question of how to equip U.S. managers and policy makers with the management capacity required to successfully manage 21st century fisheries. Management capacity comprises the knowledge, skills and processes that enable the effective development, implementation and enforcement of regulations. The theme of this paper is that...

  • Factors of Fisheries Non-Compliance: A Case Study of the Patagonian Toothfish Fishery

    Creator:
    Crees-Morris, Adnan, Bose, Shekar, and Miller, Denzil
    Abstract:
    This paper identifies factors of non-compliance for the Heard Island and McDonald Island (HIMI) Fishery of Australia and analyses these factors under the theoretical framework of non-compliance that exists in fisheries economics literature. It is found that identified factors were consistent with the theoretical construct. The paper also examines various...

  • Optimal Effort Controls for the Multispecies Groundfish Complex in New England

    Creator:
    Holland, Daniel S. and Maguire, Jean-Jacques
    Abstract:
    It is rarely possible or desirable to maintain a constant target fishing mortality rate for each individual stock in a multispecies fishery. Preventing overfishing of all stocks at all times will often be in conflict with attainment of optimal yield for the fishery. This paper presents a retrospective analysis and...
