Coastal and marine spatial planning (CMSP) is a process for improving the management of ocean resources in order to promote their sustainable development. One of the most challenging spatial planning issues in New England now concerns the siting of offshore renewable energy facilities, mainly wind farms. Commercial fishermen are among...
"Human choices affect nature and nature affects human choice". This research is investigated irrigation development on lagoon fisheries in Sri Lanka. Spatial variation of the lagoon system is derived from the land use maps. Information on biological changes of the lagoon and bio-economic conditions were obtained from the secondary data....
Stakeholders of the Taal Lake fish cage industry face the challenge of producing fish in a situation of frequent fish kill occurrences, which have been attributed to the deteriorating water quality due to nutrient pollution from fish cages. This study estimates the cost-effectiveness of nutrient pollution reduction options. Fifty operators...
Economists and biologists have recognized that spatial and temporal area-closures may provide an effective means of managing the impact that fisheries have on one another and upon threatened species. To date, however, little work has been done to estimate the economic impact of protected areas on commercial fishing. One significant...
Theory suggests that fishing effort would be allocated among various fishing grounds such that profit levels would be equal. Homogeneity among fishers as well as perfect information is assumed and profits are opportunistically increased by changing fishing locations. These assumptions have been shown empirically ins some single fisheries where fishers...
The new fishery order of Japan, China and the Republic of Korea (Korea) has changed their supply-and-demand structure (SDS) of marine products. This study observes the hagfish fishing which started in the Japanese coast/offshore, and the change of the international SDS. The present condition will be arranged as a framework...
Consultative structures are often suggested as a means of facilitating resolution of issues in multiple use management through developing consensus and facilitating cooperation. The advantages and limitations of this approach are explored through the history of the Cockburn Sound Management Council. Set up in 1999, the Cockburn Sound Management Council...
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...
L'augmentation de la demande des ressources naturelles littorales entraîne des situations de plus en plus nombreuses de proche cohabitation entre plusieurs usages côtiers. Le développement de ces usages s'est réalisé à des époques différentes ou de façon contemporaine mais en parfaite harmonie, jusqu'à un certain point d'occupation spatiale et d'accaparation...
