  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.
