Climate change may cause significant changes in the distribution, abundance, and species mix of commercial fishery resources. In any given area stocks of some species may decline; stocks of other species may increase; and new species may appear in commercially significant volumes. However, it is difficult to predict what specific...
The Coral Triangle Initative is a new initative in environmental ecosystem management which as officially kicked-off by 6 countries in December 2007. The paper reviews the history of the initiative (transboundary international "Peace parks" concept, bringing together other eco-regional initiatives) and points to the direction it is currently taking with...
It can not be denied that climate change is now an overriding environmental issue challenging humanity. Scientific research has proven that Vietnam’s 10 most vulnerable provinces are among the top 25% most susceptible regions in South East Asia. Eight of those ten provinces including Ben Tre province belong to the...

The scope for fishing firms operating in an output controlled fishery, with tradable rights, and facing world prices, to augment profit is limited inter alia to a search for alternative input configurations that lower harvesting costs. This paper provides evidence of technical change in the New Zealand rock lobster fishery....
Vietnam has been ranked as one of the countries in Asia with the highest vulnerabilities to climate change impacts on fisheries and aquaculture. Eight of those ten provinces are located in the Mekong River Delta, including Ben Tre Province. We conducted a study to identify the impacts of climate change...

This paper addresses the impacts of climate change on salmon fishery governance in the Columbia River Basin of the Pacific Northwest U.S. Here the physical and ecological effects of climate change are expected to be significant and to include alterations in freshwater and marine aquatic habitat that will affect the...
Like many global pelagic fisheries, the Hawaii-based longline fishery continues to face increased pressure to reduce the incidental catch of endangered sea turtles and/or other sensitive species. Aggregation and
movement of both sea turtles and fish are directly associated with climatic variations and oceanographic conditions. As a result, both targeted...
