  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Eco-labelling in Fisheries along West African Coast: the Potentials and Pitfalls Author: Cormier-Salem, Marie-Christine, Samba, Alassane Eco-labelling is considered with increased interest within the scope of fisheries crisis, as a way to tackle both marine biodiversity conservation and development issues. Along West African Coast, diversity and specificity of seafood issued from localised fishery systems (or fishery territories) are remarkable and recognised from long time. Recently, initiatives to draw more value from fish and fishery while maintaining them for the future are more and more developing. Nevertheless, those innovative dynamics are generally initiated and implemented by foreign operators, targeting specific categories of customers and are unequally reappropriated by the fishermen communities. They still occupy a minor place in local and national economies. Moreover, these devices are binding and thus exclusive. So, they could have unexpected and contradictory effects on biological and cultural diversity. An Interdisciplinary (anthropology, geography, economic, sociology, ethnobiology, ecology and law studies) and comparative approach, conducted in different environmental, political and socio-economical contexts, leads to assess the constraints and opportunities attached to ecolabelling in fisheries (Biodivalloc programme, ANR05 BDIV02). Also, the aim of this contribution is to examine the connection and consistency between the devices and norms that shape those instruments and the local practices and actors strategies all along the fish network. It seeks to determine the conditions of using these tools in ways that ensure the co-viability of coastal (biological and social) systems. This question is adressed through diverse study cases, the Mugil fishery of Mauritania, the Octopus fishery of Senegal, the mollusks exploitation (Arca, Crassostrea, Cymbium, Pugilina, etc.) of the Saloum Delta, Senegal.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Survival of Cultures: Preemptive Compensation, Natural Resources and Poverty Author: Emami, Ali, Johnston, Richard S. In developed – and some less-developed – societies, managing an “open access,” renewable natural resource sector generally involves taxes, quotas, or other government or community restrictions. But some cultures, especially in their early years, have taken a different approach, one that involves transfer of part of the output of the resource sector to other community members. This reduces the latter’s need to compete for access to that sector and, instead, induces them to apply their labor to production elsewhere in the community. This “preemptive compensation” policy may lead to resource conservation, participation in international trade and higher living standards for the entire community. This seems to be especially relevant where the natural resource sector is the primary source of food (e.g., a fishery) and where persons outside of the sector, but within the community, face extreme hunger. We develop a model that examines the phenomenon and we suggest conditions under which the “sharing” approach may eliminate hunger and lead to sustainable growth. The paper, then, reviews a strategy for renewable resource management that differs from most current approaches and, yet, can be traced to prehistoric times. We demonstrate one way that the renewable resource could be efficiently utilized without government restrictions, even under open access conditions. This can lead to a reduction in poverty and can replace economic isolation with participation in the global economy. It also offers an hypothesis for why some traditional societies have been able to support large populations over time, while avoiding resource devastation.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Future Generations, Discount Rates and the Optimal Harvest of Fisheries Resources Author: Harte, Michael, Larkin, Sherry, Sylvia, Gil, Quigley, Kate Year: 2001 The role of discounting in determining the optimal harvest of natural resources has been extensively debated in the economic and natural resources literature. Differing approaches to discounting to address sustainability and intergenerational equity issues have the potential to significantly affect the allocation of resources between harvesting and conservation for this generation and the stock of resources available for future generations. This presents a very real problem in New Zealand where legislation requires fisheries managers to maintain the potential of the resources to meet the “reasonably foreseeable needs of future generations.” This paper investigates the appropriate use of discount rates in evaluating policy decisions that involve the intergenerational allocation of fisheries resources. Dynamic bioeconomic optimisation is used to model the effect of discount rates on the optimal harvest of a stock characterized by moderate longevity and growth. The economic and biological effects of alternative rebuilding strategies that are assumed to meet the needs of future generations are explored under alternative prices, variable costs, and rebuilding horizons. The preliminary empirical analysis revealed that higher discount rates produce lower net present values, slower rebuilding rates, and more pronounced harvest reductions as the rebuilding deadline approached. However, at discount rates that are common and justified in the literature, the effects may be insignificant. Whether these results are dependent on the assumed moderate growth characteristic of the stock, the failure to account for perceptions regarding biological and economic risk, or the use of a common discount rate are subjects of continuing research.
