  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Necessity of Observer Programs in the World’s Fisheries Author: Mitchell, Elizabeth A. Year: 2001 The marine environment is experiencing increased human-induced stress, compounded by natural and human-induced (global warming) climatic changes. “Freedom of the sea” is no longer a viable option as marine resources become increasingly scarce. Both fishermen and managers must work cooperatively and diligently to monitor the existing limited resources. In order to effectively monitor a fishery, managers need to quantify how much is removed from the sea. Observer programs are the best way to achieve this objective and without them, managers are operating on guesswork. Observer data is used throughout the globe by conservation groups, international agencies, economists, and a wide array of scientists. Almost all of the catch values from commercial fishing vessels cited in publications by these institutions originate from observer program data. Self-reporting of catch data has proven to be inaccurate and ineffective in monitoring stocks. This is because most fishermen are concentrating on commercially valuable species, boat maintenance and compliance to those regulations that are easily and most often checked by enforcement officials. There is a prevailing naivety throughout societies regarding the true cost of eating fish. This must be addressed by fisheries economists so that vital monitoring systems don't fall by the wayside.

Author: Barney, Amanda, Joyce, Jessica Electronic monitoring (EM) systems hold promise for the future collection of fishery-dependent data, either to supplement human at-sea observers or replace them. Several pilot studies have been conducted on EM in the New England groundfish fleet, though there are still on the water operational and shore-side protocols to further test and refine, not to mention the lack of guiding policy around an EM program for the groundfish fleet. The Gulf of Maine Research Institute and Ecotrust Canada, along with the Maine Coast Community Sector and The Nature Conservancy are entering the third year of a collaborative project to operationalize EM systems on gillnet and trawl vessels in groundfish sectors. The focus of the systems in the first two years has been to obtain species IDs and weights (from lengths) from the video to validate captain’s estimates of the same data in their haul-by-haul log. In Year 3, we are collaborating with NMFS to develop an EM project in fishing year (FY) 2015 that will continue to test proof of concept for a fully operational system in FY 2016 that would replace sector at-sea monitors (ASMs). The groundfish fleet may have to fund ASMs as early as FY2015, and there is a need for a more cost-effective alternative to human observers. This project has been designed with the industry cost-limitations in mind, and depending on the ultimate program requirements for EM, may prove some cost savings to fishermen, but what are the trade-offs?

Real time monitoring of the fishery could allow effort to be expanded or decreased in accordance with a set of performance indicators. The potential for using real time performance indicators in the Australian northern prawn fishery is examined in this paper using a stochastic optimal control model of the fishery. The results indicate that the benefits of using real time performance monitoring to control fishery access may be limited. However, this result may depend critically on the relationship between surviving stocks and future recruits to the fishery.

Kuperan, Squires, Dale, Kirkley, James, Susilowati, Indah, Omar, Ishak Haji, Jeon, Yongil Year: 2001 The question arises for fishery managers as to whether or not there are observable and measurable attributes of the skipper or vessel that fishery managers can monitor and possibly regulate to control expansions in fishing capacity from this source. This paper addresses this neglected issue of resource management through a case study of the trawler fishery in the state of Kedah in Peninsular Malaysia. In the Kedah trawl fishery, skipper characteristics other than ethnicity did not significantly affect technical efficiency and skipper skill. Hence, there does not appear to be any readily observable characteristics pertaining to skipper skill to monitor and regulate. This finding militates against regulating skipper skill to control expansions in fishing capacity that can happen under license limitation. The results indicate that a skipper training program for the least efficient skippers may be called for to meet the objectives of equity and fairness as expressed in the New Economic Policy and its successor, the New Development Plan. Such a training program would also be consistent with one of the initial aims of the license limitation program, which was to promote equity among all ethnic groups in Malaysian society.

In the case of fisheries interactions with marine mammals and sea turtles, the preferred policy instrument has been a command-and-control approach such as effort reductions (e.g. area closures) and/or technology standards (e.g. gear modifications), even though market based approaches are available. Since monitoring, compliance and enforcement is more challenging and costly for protected resources this can be significant in the choice of instrument. We examine a case study to identify current and alternative criteria that can be used to identify the strengths and weakness of various policy instruments designed to protect marine mammals and sea turtles.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Management and Enforcement Costs in Norway's Fisheries Author: Hannesson, Rognvaldur Year: 2001 This paper discusses public expenditures on fisheries in Norway. The purpose is to identify management and enforcement costs, management being defined as regulations necessary to overcome the open access problem. Management costs thus include costs of devising and enforcing fisheries regulations. They also include stock assessments and monitoring at sea, but do not include research with a more academic orientation, search and rescue operations, and various infrastructure such as fishing harbors. The figures cover the period 1990-1999. The management costs amount to 7-13 percent of the catch value, a variation which is primarily due to the variability of the annual catch value. Total expenditures on the fisheries sector have been much higher in the past; in 1990-91 subsidies were more than 20 percent of the catch value but were down to approximately two percent in 1996-99.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Coastal Marine Protected Areas in Japan and their Institutional Characteristics Author: Yagi, Nobuyuki, Takada, Yukiko, Kurokura, Hisashi A survey was conducted to create a comprehensive list of marine protected areas (MPAs) in Japan. There exist more than 1,000 fishery cooperatives in Japan, and many of them have established no-take zones for many years. Such zones are usually not reported to the government and, therefore, the complete picture of the MPAs in Japan has been largely unknown until now. Information on such local MPAs was collected through various sources, and a list of more than 1,000 MPAs was produced. Many of them take the style of self-imposed voluntary regulations. Nonetheless, it was suggested that free-riders of the conservation activities were uncommon. This is because agreements are usually made to maximize the benefit of the group of fishers and each member of the group monitors the compliance status of other members. The government has provided territorial use right for fishers, and this could have helped maintain such a selfgovernance framework.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Triple Win for Trade in Renewable Resource Goods by Use of Export Taxes Author: Schulz, Carl Erik, Flaaten, Ola The majority of monitored fish stocks globally is fully or over exploited, that is, at or below their maximum sustainable yield stock levels. Despite this resource situation international trade in fish products have been increasing for a long time. An export tax on fish and fish products, as an alternative to Pigouvian harvest or effort taxes, is introduced in a resource-trade model for a small open economy. It is analysed to what extent such a tax could mitigate biological and economic overuse of fish stocks and increase national welfare, which is affected both through the general government budget and through effects on consumer surpluses. We also discuss briefly implications for aquaculture environment, production and trade. It is demonstrated that a resource export tax may be beneficial for total national welfare compared to a laissez-faire policy. The theoretical analysis is illustrated by a stylized case study for a small open economy.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Evaluation of Management Strategies in Ningaloo Marine Park, Western Australia Author: Little, Rich, Fulton, Beth, Thébaud, Olivier The spatial, multi-species nature of coral reef fisheries makes them notoriously difficult to manage. We have developed a simulation modeling approach to examine the effect of management options on the recreationally important tourist destination of Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia where a recreational fishery targets Spangled Emperor (Lethrinus nebulosus). The approach brings a broad range of physical, biological and socio-economic information and process understanding into an integrated framework. It also provides an effective interface with management. Model results show the effects of historical fishing mortality, localized depletion of Spangled Emperor, and the potential effect of the sanctuary zones that are closed to fishing. They also show expected recreational catches and catch rates under different projected management strategies and future scenarios regarding the evolution of the fishery. Results from the model will provide a means to assess, test and ultimately improve the effectiveness of management and monitoring strategies in the region.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Regional Fishery Management Organization with a Self-Financed Enforcement Mechanism in Shared Fisheries Author: Le, Kim Long In order to provide a rationale and mechanism for implementing responsible fisheries in practice, this paper examines the effect of establishing Regional Fishery Management Organisation (RFMO) with effective enforcement on cooperative possibilities in shared fisheries. The result shows that an increase in cooperation level is a social welfare improvement, and this is an important rationale in the establishment of RFMOs for managing shared fisheries. If an RFMO is established and participants commit full compliance (costless enforcement), the outlook for cooperation in shared fisheries is optimistic. However, the attractive incentive for asymmetric information sharing about compliance among the RFMO members may lead to non-cooperation. Therefore, the game framework is extended by introducing a self-financed enforcement mechanism to ensure compliance by the RFMO members (costly enforcement). The result demonstrates that a mechanism that RFMO members finance and empower an independent enforcement body with monitoring and sanctioning capabilities may be a solution for the protection of cooperation. In addition, at some participant’s enforcement cost level, when it increases, an RFMO requires a greater participation level to enter into force. Consequently, if an RFMO forms, it not only results in the higher level of steady-state fish stock, but also may improve participant’s rent.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Defining Social & Economic Performance Measures for Catch Share Systems in the Northeast U.S. Author: Pinto da Silva, Patricia, Clay, Patricia M., Kitts, Andrew Catch share systems are being encouraged and considered in a variety of United States (U.S.) fisheries. Scientists, policy makers, and stakeholders (including fishermen and non-governmental environmental organizations) have different views about potential social and economic impacts and outcomes of these output- oriented systems. Thus identifying and evaluating impacts over time is essential to assess and improve such systems and determine whether intended outcomes are realized. During 2009-2010 Social Sciences Branch (SSB) staff at the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts engaged in a multiphase process to identify and define meaningful measures of social and economic performance of catch share systems, as well as indicators and information sources to guide the ongoing evaluation of these programs. The principal performance measures identified in this process are financial viability, distributional outcomes, stewardship, governance, and well-being. Here we review the current state of catch shares in the Northeast U.S., describe the methodology used in identifying performance measures and associated indicators, and present the social and economic performance measure monitoring plan that will guide future investment in social science research at the NEFSC. Title: Defining Social & Economic Performance Measures for Catch Share Systems in the Northeast U.S. Author: Pinto da Silva, Patricia, Clay, Patricia M., Kitts, Andrew Catch share systems are being encouraged and considered in a variety of United States (U.S.) fisheries. Scientists, policy makers, and stakeholders (including fishermen and non-governmental environmental organizations) have different views about potential social and economic impacts and outcomes of these output- oriented systems. Thus identifying and evaluating impacts over time is essential to assess and improve such systems and determine whether intended outcomes are realized. During 2009-2010 Social Sciences Branch (SSB) staff at the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts engaged in a multiphase process to identify and define meaningful measures of social and economic performance of catch share systems, as well as indicators and information sources to guide the ongoing evaluation of these programs. The principal performance measures identified in this process are financial viability, distributional outcomes, stewardship, governance, and well-being. Here we review the current state of catch shares in the Northeast U.S., describe the methodology used in identifying performance measures and associated indicators, and present the social and economic performance measure monitoring plan that will guide future investment in social science research at the NEFSC.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Observer Deployment in the Fishery and Regulatory Self-Enforcement Author: Martin, Patrick M., Furlong, William J. Year: 2001 Many fisheries assign observers to vessels as a means of collecting stock data and monitoring regulatory compliance. Typically, deployment is random and the level of coverage determined in an ad hoc manner. This paper explores optimal observer coverage and the deployment of observers to vessels from an enforcement perspective. The central behavioural assumption is that fishery violations are motivated by profit. Violations will therefore manifest themselves in a larger than “normal” value of landings. The model employs a comparison of two distributions of landings: the first drawn from vessels with onboard observers and the second from those without observers. Strategic deployment minimizes the cost of regulatory noncompliance and may provide less biased stock data than a random deployment. Conditions under which the interests of the fleet and the regulatory agency coincide are also identified, i.e., conditions for self-enforcement. The model has the potential of being implemented with readily available data. Title: Observer Deployment in the Fishery and Regulatory Self-Enforcement Author: Martin, Patrick M., Furlong, William J.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fisheries Management Costs in Thai Marine Fisheries Author: Boonchuwong, Pongpat, Willmann, Rolf, Piumsombun, Somying Year: 2001 The paper first introduces the fisheries management dilemma faced by many Asian developing countries including Thailand and the key elements of a transition policy towards responsible fisheries. It then analyses current fisheries management costs in Thai marine fisheries. Major cost items include fisheries research (especially stock assessment), monitoring, control and surveillance, the placement of artificial reefs to rehabilitate inshore resources and to act as barrier against bottom trawling, and management administration. It then examines the required adjustments needed for improved management in order to increase the flow of net economic benefits and to reduce conflicts among fishermen using different types of fishing gear. The authors argue that in the Thai situation characterized by significant over-capacities large up-front adjustment costs arise in the transition to an effective fisheries management regime. These include compensation for the withdrawal of excessive fleet capacity, costs of facilitating the shift to alternative employment, and other incremental fisheries management costs. On the example of the Thai demersal fisheries in the Gulf of Thailand, it is shown that these large up-front adjustment costs could be recuperated in the long run through increased fishing licence fees but that the immediate financial needs may pose a heavy burden on the government budget that may justify external financial assistance.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fishery Management Innovations in New Zealand Author: Starr, Paul Year: 2001 Two fishery management innovations developed in New Zealand are described. The first is a programme of “selfmonitoring” of the catch through the biological sampling by the skipper or a crew member on the vessel. The intent of this programme is to take a small sample of many units of effort across a broad range of the fleet on a frequent basis. This design is dynamic and ensures that the fishery is well sampled. Examination of the data collected shows considerable internal integrity in the data and provides confidence that the information is reliable. The second innovation is the use of experimental increases in TAC (Total Allowable Catch) levels to obtain information on fish stocks which have low information availability. These increases in allowable catch are coupled with monitoring programmes to follow stock abundance trends under higher levels of removals. Both the NZ government and the NZ fishing industry are supportive of this programme as it is an effective way to obtain fish stock information when research opportunities are limited. It is the opinion of the author that the existence of the ITQ management system in New Zealand coupled with a governmental policy of recovering attributable management costs have created a climate in which innovations which reduce costs while maintaining the quality of research are favoured.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Rethinking Fisheries Management: Why Fisheries Management Fails Author: Spain, Glen Year: 2001 Fisheries management as we know it today is in a perpetual state of crisis because it is fatally flawed. Fisheries management will increasingly fail to prevent species decline, and even exacerbate those declines, unless it adopts new institutional priorities and methodologies based not on the prevalent “Industrial Model,” which is driven primarily by economic utility, but instead based on the “Biological Model,” which is primarily driven by the whole range of species’ biological needs, including limits placed by interactions with other species and by the ecosystem’s carrying capacity at each stage of a species’s lifecycle. In other words, fisheries managers – including fisheries economists – must stop just managing fishermen and learn to manage fish ecosystems by thinking more like biologists than economists. To do this, concepts such as “efficient use” and “optimization” of the resource must now be legally redefined primarily in biological and ecosystem conservation terms, and fisheries management agencies must adopt the tools of conservation biology, including investing far more heavily in the basic biological monitoring that makes such management possible. Failure to make these changes will simply lead to more stock crashes, unnecessary and probably fatal stresses on fishing-dependent communities, and ultimately extinction of whole species.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Assessing the Accuracy of High Spatial Resolution Effort Data: Comparing VMS and Logbook Data in the California Groundfish Trawl Fishery Author: Thomas-Smyth, Alice, Speir, Cameron, Mamula, Aaron Fisheries management is increasingly being conducted at finer scales of spatial resolution. The spatial distribution of fish stocks is recognized as being an important aspect of stock abundance and spatial management tools, such as marine reserves, have become common. Information on the spatial distribution of fishing effort is critical to conducting this type of spatially-oriented management for at least two reasons. First, harvest information from individual vessels can generate data used in higher spatial resolution stock assessment. Second, understanding the location choice behavior of fishermen is important in understanding the effects of policy on both fish stocks and the fishermen themselves. In this paper, we compare for consistency two sources of two high-resolution data sets on fishing location: self-reported logbook data and vessel monitoring system data.
