  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fishing in a Shallow Lake: A Case for Effort Controls? Author: Janmaat, John, Ruijs, Arjan In many situation, fishing activity adversely impacts the state of the marine ecosystem, impacts which feed back to affect fish stocks. Some ecosystems appear to have multiple equilibria and exhibit hysteresis, whereby they can become stuck in low productivity states. We show how adding ecosystem dynamics to a classic fisheries model can introduce hysteresis impacts, impacts that affect both the evolution of the fish stock and the fishery harvesting it. We demonstrate that harvest and effort taxes are not equivalent instruments for controlling this externality. We also show that if the fishery is sufficiently degraded, it may not be optimal to move the system back to a healthy environment. Title: Fishing in a Shallow Lake: A Case for Effort Controls?

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A Socio-Economic Toolbox of Artificial Reef Projects Author: Monteiro, Carlos C., Santos, Miguel N., Whitmarsh, David, Ramos, Jorge It is widely accepted that in sea bottom areas where there is a scarcity of rocky formations and declining marine fish due to fisheries pressure, the deployment of artificial reefs (ARs) is a possible way to mitigate the problem. If ARs have an ecosystem-based fisheries management goal that means their presence is believed to be a sine qua non condition to maintain the sustainability of coastal ecosystems. However, decisions relating to the deployment and management of ARs arguably need to be guided by the dictum that ‘an artificial reef that is not useful to people is not a successful reef’. The issue of ‘AR usefulness’ is raised because there are many studies on reef assessment, but usually focusing solely on biological approaches. Thus, these approaches are usually not enough to prove or refute the above premise. So, it is of fundamental importance to involve the affected people, i.e., stakeholders. With that in mind, the present study presents a socio-economic ‘toolbox’ where it is intended to find out people’s involvement, belief, attitude and behavior concerning artificial reef’s deployment. The toolbox is based on a flexible research design and includes three types of assessment that can be done in the scope of social and economic evaluation of ARs, namely: (1) Monitoring and description, (2) Social analysis, and (3) Economic assessment. In each one there are used different data collection and measurement techniques.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Positioning Fisheries in a Changing World Author: Grafton, Quentin, Squires, Dale, Williams, Meryl, Ridgeway, Lori Society has agreed on the goal of sustainable fisheries but achieving the goal is often submerged by more immediate national and international demands causing fisheries to slip down the political agenda or diverting attention to other fisheries issues, e.g., profitability under high fuel prices. Among the problems challenging marine capture fisheries are increasing demands for fish, uncertainty from overfishing and illegal fishing, competition for resources among different fisheries gears and methods, degrading and climate-affected ecosystems, depleted fish stocks, economic rent drains and social hardships. Solutions to these challenges, however, are available for some fisheries. Even when solutions are available, the blockages to the transition to sustainable fisheries are information failures, transition costs, use and non-use conflicts and the capacity to implement and enforce management. This paper discusses how fisheries experts can help make the case for the transition to sustainable fisheries, drawing on suitable tools that can overcome the key blockages. Within governments, fisheries should be subject to a whole-of-government approach, as fisheries ministries do not have access to all the tools to achieve a transition to sustainability. Further, transitions to sustainability are not one-off events - constant adjustments are needed to position fisheries to internal and external changes.
