There are, at least, four basic characteristics of the
universe that are the data source for North American
cultures in maintaining a balance between the physical
sense of the universe and the intuitive non-dimensional
spiritual sense of the universe. This balance is delicate
and can become distorted by too many...
When we talk about indigenous cultural practices we are in fact talking about responsibilities that have evolved into
unwritten tribal laws over millennia. These responsibilities and laws are directly tied to nature and is a product of the slow
integration of cultures within their environment and the ecosystems. Thus, the...

A new conceptualization of sustainability in fisheries is emerging from much broader developments in natural resource management. In its modern form, "resilience" has become a powerful metaphor for sustainable development but advances in theory have yet to be translated into more resilient aquatic ecosystems or better lives for poor fisherfolk...
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is among those institutions that advocate free trade in goods, service and capital
among nations. This view is not shared universally, however, especially when there are important natural resource, environmental and
labor issues at stake. In fact, some countries discourage the exportation of natural resource...
A two stage game is analyzed in which citizens who own mobile factors of production also vote for domestic
environmental policies. It is shown that individuals have an incentive to cross-haul polluting factors across jurisdictions
when direct controls are used to regulate emissions, that this cross-hauling can induce a ratcheting...
This paper examines the impacts of tightening environmental regulations on optimal trade and investment
policies. We find that for a small open two-sector economy with an importable sector relying on foreign capital while
emitting pollution, a more stringent environmental measure leads to a higher optimal tariff and possibly a higher...

Most trade literature is concerned with gains from free trade under the assumption that traded goods are produced under complete property rights. Seldom have researchers examined the consequences of free trade in the presence of incomplete property rights over renewable natural resources. In this paper, we explore these consequences. In...
This work analyses empirically the exploitation dynamics from 1997 to 2003, of the most important
segment of the Spanish fishing fleet operating in the EU waters, also known as “300 fleet”. The aim of the
analysis is exploring the economic consequences of the coming into force of the new approaches...
According to conventional economic wisdom the economically more efficient technology will always outcompete the less efficient. This hypothesis has usually been taken to hold for the exploitation of common pool renewable natural resources such as fish stocks. This paper claims that, while this is not necessarily false, it may be...
This paper analyzes the suitability of strong and weak sustainability assessment in the context of fisheries management. This topic is a main stream issue in the field of Ecological Economics, but its application to fisheries is rather ambiguous, although fisheries have been the focus of many pioneering studies related to...

A number of different systems have been used to estimate boater use over the 1990-2001 period, making it difficult to trace the source of discrepancies in the final estimates. For example, the boater passes have changed over the years.
