Bycatch of non-targeted species in marine fisheries has become a major policy issue in fisheries management over recent years. One approach to curbing the bycatch problem is the voluntary sharing of detailed spatiotemporal information between vessels as an aide in individual bycatch avoidance as well as a tool to lower...
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...
The state of the world at the beginning of 21 century is terribly bad from all points of views such as environment, food supply, resources, economy and security essential for human survival. Our civilization based on technological development and mass consumption has been using up all resources on land and...
Fisheries management has been carried out on the assumption that a fish population is in equilibrium with the fishing effort under the average environmental conditions and hence there must be a maximum sustainable yield (MSY). However, since the simultaneous rise and fall of the interdecadal and global scale of sardine...
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...
The Indonesian Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program (COREMAP) is a 3 phase, 18 year (1998 - 2016) national program. The first Phase operated in 4 pilot sites and ran from 1998 - 2004. The second phase runs from 2005 - 2010. The performance of the four pilot sites are...
There is growing recognition worldwide that the impacts of fishing on non-targeted components of marine ecosystems should be included in the assessment of fisheries sustainability. This leads to the inclusion of new constraints in evaluations of the long-term bio-economic performance of fisheries. In this paper, we analyze the implications of...
This study was commissioned by OWET to determine the possible economic benefits to Oregon and Oregon’s coastal communities from having a thriving wave energy industry. While wave energy industry growth will proceed along a continuous path, this study examines the economic impacts at three distinct stages: Research and Development Stage;...

The article discusses the issue and complexities that arise when two sectors, fisheries and marine tourism, grown and imply for an institution governing coral reef ecosystem either government based or community based. Even though, a community-based management system is commonly recognized as a better way in governing the resources, the...
