Abstract |
- The ECOST project aims to develop a new approach for the evaluation of fishing activities and policies in
order to contribute to a better management of aquatic resources which affect sustainable development in
coastal zones around the world. It has to be seen from the wider perspective of equipping public decisionmakers
and society with the appropriate tools and methods needed to take into account, not only
immediate economic and social profits, but also the costs engendered by fishing activities, which relate as
much to ecosystems as to societies. The novelty and originality of the suggested approach doesn’t rely on
the concept chosen for the analysis, the social cost, but on the way it is built and mobilised to deliberate
on the evaluation of fishing activities. As Fisheries activity is a complex system, characterized by
reciprocal interactions between fisheries activity and the harvested resource, it is difficult to define the
effects of such activities in the society. The social cost is thus defined as an articulation between the
frontiers of what is feasible? and the assessment of members of the society concerning what will be
judged desirable? (O’Connor 2004). We propose an evaluation process defining the performance issue
related to fishery metiers, a set of indicators and a method to assess the social cost using the Kerbabel
Deliberation Matrix framework.
