  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: Implications of bycatch reduction strategies for the economic viability of mixed fisheries Author: Thebaud, Olivier, Martinet, Vincent There is growing recognition worldwide that the impacts of fishing on non-targeted components of marine ecosystems should be included in the assessment of fisheries sustainability. This leads to the inclusion of new constraints in evaluations of the long-term bio-economic performance of fisheries. In this paper, we analyze the implications of such constraints based on the case of bycatch of juvenile hake in the Bay of Biscay (ICES area VIIIa,b) trawl fishery for nephrops. The analysis is based on a discrete time model of the trawl fishery including an age-structured representation of stock dynamics, with uncertainty. We define sustainability using the viability framework of analysis: viability objectives are represented as constraints which relate to the economic status of the fishing fleet and to the biological status of fish stocks. We include an ecological constraint defined as a minimal target threshold for the recruitment of mature hakes, which is related to the fishing mortality induced by trawlers on juvenile hake. Based on stochastic analysis, we define the probability that both economic and ecosystemic constraints are met, as a function of the level of these constraints. We use the model to assess the sustainability of the fishery under different scenarios as regards bycatch reduction strategies.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Tev (total Economic Value) Analysis of A Marine Environment in Norway Author: Kahui, Viktoria, Armstrong, Claire, Aanesen, Margrethe The push for ecosystem based management has opened up not only for including more of the natural systems when managing fish resources, but also a broader perspective on the human systems, and the diverse activities in the sea. This is reflected for instance in the EU Maritime Policy where fisheries is just one of many activities that marine management must take into account. Research into valuation of natural resources has shown that non-use values may be substantial in the marine environment; These are e.g. existence values, such as the existence of rare species and benthic components such as corals, and option values with regard to potential future applications, e.g. in marine bioprospecting. In addition, indirect use values, such as habitat values, recreational values and nutrient cycling often far exceed the direct use values, which are typically the value of the fisheries, aquaculture and marine tourism. Applying and critiquing the Total Economic Value (TEV) set up, we have estimated marine direct use values, including fisheries and aquaculture, indirect use values and non-use values in Nordland county in Norway, specifically connected to the Lofoten-Vesterålen marine area. Lofoten-Vesterålen is the most important spawning ground for commercial fish resources such as cod and herring, and it is also a very popular tourist destination. Yet when studying some of the other values that the marine environment supplies, these traditional values are not necessarily the most important.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Nutrient Enrichment and Marine Ecosystem Disturbance: A Deterministic and Stochastic Approach Author: Knowler, Duncan Year: 2001 Pollution of the marine areas that support much of the world's commercial fisheries is regarded as a pressing global environmental problem. One often-cited issue is nutrient enrichment, but this may be a mixed blessing: it contributes to primary productivity and increases the sustainable fish catch, while simultaneously causing occasional and damaging ecosystem events. Thus, enrichment's aggregate impact on the economic value of fisheries may be ambiguous. This research develops a method for analyzing such problems, using the example of the Black Sea anchovy fishery. Employing a bioeconomic model that incorporates nutrients directly into fish population dynamics, the problem is formulated in deterministic and stochastic terms and the results compared. The deterministic model assumes that nutrients only contribute positively to fish production for a given ecological state, and ignores stochastic events leading to shifts between states. Accordingly, marginal abatement of nutrients leads to annual welfare losses of US$ 45,000 to 713,00 per μ (1989/90 prices), depending upon the ecosystem state. The stochastic formulation recognizes that planners may have some knowledge of potentially damaging shifts in ecological states, and wish to take this into account. When these shifts are related stochastically to the level of enrichment, nutrient abatement is shown to have an indeterminate welfare effect. However, an experimental empirical analysis indicates that a marginal change in nutrients can generate positive and sizeable aggregate benefits for the Black Sea anchovy fishery under certain conditions. The general applicability of such an approach for analyzing a range of marine environmental problems is noted Title: Nutrient Enrichment and Marine Ecosystem Disturbance: A Deterministic and Stochastic Approach Author: Knowler, Duncan Year: 2001 Pollution of the marine areas that support much of the world's commercial fisheries is regarded as a pressing global environmental problem.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Aquaculture and Food Security - Can Fish Farming Fill the Gap? Author: Troell, Max While aquaculture has provided economic and nutritional benefits to millions, there are concerns that unconstrained sector expansion and intensification, coupled with its ecological and social impacts, globalization of markets, and climate change, may have undesirable impacts on the resilience of social-ecological systems. A significant part of the aquaculture expansion is expected to occur in coastal areas, where it directly affects resource systems already experiencing large pressure from human activities. Thus, there is a risk that the anticipated benefits from aquaculture may come at the expense of increased pressure on coastal ecosystem services, thus jeopardizing coastal people’s food security and livelihoods. Further, intensification may also indirectly increase the dependence on marine ecosystems through usage of fish resources as feeds. The practice of intensive farming of fish and crustaceans is characterised by inputs of high quality resources and energy and release of effluents. The industry continues to improve performance through research on food development and system designs, and recent initiative, the “Aquaculture dialogue”, attempts to identify sustainability criteria for a selection of cultured species. In addition FAO have recently moved beyond their earlier established “code of conducts” and are now developing a broader systematic perspective on aquaculture, i.e. “Ecosystem approach to aquaculture”. This presentation will discuss how aquaculture may impact on social-ecological resilience, more broadly and also in connection to coastal aquaculture development, and specifically considers the intensification of production methods. In connection to this some recent sustainability tools/indicators will briefly be discussed out from this perspective. Title: Aquaculture and Food Security - Can Fish Farming Fill the Gap?

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: An Elemental Basis of Property Rights to Marine Fishery Resources Author: Edwards, Steven F. Year: 2001 Among the questions that ecosystem-based management raises for economists is how to partition uses of the many biological, chemical and physical attributes of marine ecosystems into sets of property rights that undergird total ocean wealth. An elemental basis of property rights for fisheries involves the interplay between ecological and technological interactions, including sideeffects (externalities), and transaction costs. Fisheries management typically divides ownership by species. Divided ownership is efficient where production requires specialized skills and technologies and/or where interactions are negligible. When damages caused by side-effects are substantial, divided ownership might be used either by attenuating (e.g., gear restrictions) or excluding (e.g., zoning) a subset of attribute rights, provided that the opportunity (reduced output) and transaction costs of restrictions/exclusions are less than damages in their absence. However, uncertainty about resource dynamics, the recurrent nature of interactions, the complexity of numerous contractual stipulations owing to multi-attribute resources, and practical enforcement problems make it likely that the transaction costs of divided ownership are great at this time. Alternatively, property rights could be bundled into sets wherein tradeoffs across margins which promote the total wealth of a multi-attribute, common pool asset would be decided internally by a governance organization. Bundled sets of property rights influence the choice of organizational structures (government agency, commons, unitization of firms) and contracts (fishery management plans, rules, private contracts). The discussion is illustrated with examples from U.S. fisheries in the Northeast Region. Title: An Elemental Basis of Property Rights to Marine Fishery Resources Author: Edwards, Steven F.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A Proposed Framework for Identifying and Evaluating Ecosystem Service Tradeoffs for Marine Protected Area Planning Author: Harte, Michael, Heppell, Selina, Rosenberger, Randall, Sylvia, Gil Existing research on the effectiveness of marine protected areas narrowly focuses on developing sets of management indicators tied to outcomes described in management plans or on the achievement of a single objective such as an increase in the size or number of older, more fecund female fish in a protected area. These approaches, however, fail to capture the dynamic complexity of social, cultural, economic and ecological processes, uncertainty, and tradeoffs associated with the establishment and operation of marine protected areas. Moreover, there is usually little recognition of local coastal communities, including fishing communities, and the values they hold in the evaluation of the relative benefits and costs of marine protected areas. We describe a framework for evaluating and assessing economic and ecosystem tradeoffs associated with marine protected areas and other forms of marine spatial planning. This framework integrates biophysical data and community-based social and economic evaluation methods. It identifies ecosystem services, their benefits and associated uncertainties in assessing the economic and social tradeoffs associated with changes in the use of the marine environment.

  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: Impacts of Marine Reserves in the Galapagos Islands: Some Considerations Author: Wilen, James E., Stewart, Micki Year: 2001 The recent establishment of the Galápagos Marine Reserve (GMR) presents a unique opportunity to analyze the economic implications of using zonification as a tool to manage conflicting claims to a fragile and limited resource. Recognizing that the long-term success of the GMR depends on the cooperation of all of the stakeholders involved, a remarkable feature of the new legislation is that further policy development depends upon analysis of the socio-economic and environmental impacts that the new management regime has on both the users and the ecosystems of the GMR. We consider some of the economic impacts to the residents of Galápagos, and in particular to the fisheries sector, resulting from the use of “no take” zones as a management tool. We develop a simple two-sector fixed labor model to illustrate how the establishment of “no take” zones, which impact the fishing sector, will also affect the tourism sector through both the labor market and biotic mechanisms. Although we find that the establishment of marine refugia passes a rough cost-benefit analysis, we discuss the importance of considering the intertemporal nature of the impacts resulting from the closure of fishing grounds in the GMR when analyzing the economic impacts to the various sectors.

With this comes an increasing need to better understand the impacts of fisheries management decisions on the social well-being and sustainability of fishing communities. This paper summarizes research aimed at using secondary data to develop socio-economic and fisheries-dependence indices to measure fishing community well-being in Alaska. Data from more than 300 communities in Alaska were used to create a database of socio-economic and fisheries dependence indices of well-being and adaptability for Alaskan communities dependent on marine resources. Each index was developed using a principal components analysis to assess the relative position of each community compared to all other communities in Alaska. We find that creating performance measures, such as the indices presented here, in fisheries provides a useful way to track the status of important fisheries and social variables over time.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Is “Waste Not Want Not” an Adequate Ethic for By-catch?: Five Biblical Ethical Models for Addressing Incidental Fisheries Catch and Ecosystem Disturbance Author: Bratton, Susan Power Year: 2001 The “Protestant ethic” with its emphasis on hard work, efficiency, and frugality has influenced the values of North American fishing communities. Many commercial fishers concur with its principle of “waste not, want not,” and believe that discarding marketable fish is wrong. In industrialized fisheries, this ethic by itself is inadequate, due to the use of mechanized harvest technologies that can capture fish at great depths and sweep over large areas of ocean. Under a general ethic of Christian stewardship of creation, five Biblically based ethical models can offer guidance: “do not destroy” which prohibits wanton disturbance of productive nature; neighborliness which prohibits damage to another families’ livelihood, divine ownership of and joy in creation, which assigns value to non-economic species; stewardship, which requires both active resource protection, and careful resource use; and the Hebrew land ethic, which requires a sabbatical or rest for harvested ecosystems, disallows complete efficiency of harvest, and requires that some of the harvest be left for both God’s creatures and for the poor or disadvantaged members of the human community. Although Christian ethical concepts cannot replace intelligent ocean policy, they can serve as foci for problem solving, and inspiration to better care of the marine environment.

  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.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Incorporating Habitat Dynamics into Bioeconomic Model of Fishery. Application to Artificial Reefs Author: Cartigny, Pierre, Ami, Dominique, Udumyan, Narine In this paper the emphasis is put on an important aspect of renewable resource use that was disregarded until now. It is the evolution of environmental carrying capacity which is traditionally interpreted as a maximal population level that can be supported by the environment (or by habitats of which it consists). Hence we adapt the Gordon-Schaefer model with constant carrying capacity by incorporating time-dependent carrying capacity that determines the state of habitats. They are subject to some biological processes (habitat rehabilitation) as well as to human aggressions (in particular habitat degradation due to fishing). Based on the developed model, we reassess the recommendations considered as a benchmark for resource managers until recently. Under simple hypotheses on the form of habitat (carrying capacity) dynamics, the current study has shown the importance of the latter for the design of management tools. When dynamic patterns of habitats are not taken into account, fishery recommendations based on Gordon-Schaefer model can be aberrant and lead to the collapse of the fishery. The presented model allows not only to enrich the design of management tools but also to assess the performance of artificial reefs, a promising ecosystem-based tool widely used in some coastal areas. The economic benefits of artificial reefs are still not well studied and represent a challenge to take up. Since artificial reefs are conceived as replacement for natural habitats, they assume the same role as these latter. Therefore the structure of our model seems appropriate to evaluate this particular management tool. Title: Incorporating Habitat Dynamics into Bioeconomic Model of Fishery.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Evaluating the Social Costs of Fishing Activities in A Deliberative Perspective Author: O’Connor, Martin, Failler, Pierre, Johnson, Pierre W., Chamaret, Aurélie, Ferraro, Gianluca, Douguet, Jean-Marc 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.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Towards Behavioural Models of Fleet Dynamics Author: Hamon, Katell G., Kulmala, Soile, Thébaud, Olivier, Van Putten, Ingrid, Hutton, Trevor, Dowling, Natalie, Pascoe, Sean Considerable attention has been applied to the development of models explaining how fish stocks change over space and time, from relatively simple stock-recruitment relationships to ecosystem models with a complex food web structure. However, in many case studies fishing effort is assumed to be exogenous and even in dynamic models pre-determined by external factors such as management. An increasing number of operational bio-economic models for the marine environment are including a fleet dynamics component, recognising that fishers respond to changing environmental and economic conditions. These models are based on different assumptions about behaviour. In this review, we examine models of fisher behaviour that are empirically or theoretically developed and tested. In particular, we focus on the range of different economic and social drivers and their relevance to different types of behaviour. We find that economic factors are a dominant driver included in many types of short term behavioural models, although we acknowledge and find that other social factors play a significant role in some types of behaviour. The link between management and economic impacts is reasonably well established, and most bioeconomic models are able to incorporate these feedback systems. Incorporating these other social-dependent behaviours into bioeconomic models, however, is likely to remain a challenge unless links between management and changes in the social drivers are developed.
