  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Economic Value of New Zealand Marine Recreational Fishing and its Use as a Policy Tool Author: Williamson, Scott Year: 2001 This paper presents the results of a 1999 survey to determine the economic value of the recreational fishery in New Zealand for five species, snapper (Chrysphrys autratus), kingfish (Seriola lalandi lalandi), kahawai (Arripis trutta), blue cod (Parapercis colias) and rock lobster (Jasus edwadsii and Jasus verreauxi). Contingent valuation methods were used to establish estimates of the marginal willingness to pay and average willingness to pay per fish and per kilogram as well as the value of recurrent expenditure by recreational fishers. In addition, the legislative and historical context of this survey are discussed and initial views are presented on of the use of this type of survey in four areas of policy development where this type of information may be used. 1) The use economic value in the process of defining recreational fishing and management rights. 2) The characterisation of the recreational fishing sector. 3) Establishing costs and benefits when allocating commercial property rights for new species. 4) Allocations between stakeholders when setting a total allowable commercial catch. 5) Interpreting the legislative definition of utilisation in allowing for people to provide for their “social, economic and cultural well being”.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Five Stages in the Evolution of the Market-Oriented Fishery Author: Scott, Anthony Year: 2001 This historical survey sweeps across a thousand years, divided into five very unequal stages. Over most of the stages property in tide-water fisheries was lost. Fishers lost control of the fishstock and of the markets they served. Governments responded with fishing regulations, which have served as a basis for regaining property rights. These reforms have been allowing fishermen once again to take control of their own fishstocks and to tailor management to the demands of the market.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Sea Turtles of Bahia Magdalena, Baja California Sur, Mexico: Demand and Supply of an Endangered Species Author: Garcia-Martinez, S., Nichols, W.J. Year: 2001 Sea turtles have historically been a primary resource for many of the coastal inhabitants of Bahia Magdalena, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Despite their endangered status and the implementation in 1990 of Mexican laws prohibiting the harvest of sea turtles, the demand for and the supply of these animals has persisted to some degree. To determine the current demand for sea turtles 122 surveys and 56 interviews were conducted (June 12th-30th, 1999) throughout the Bahia Magdalena region. Through a generalized least squares (GLS) analysis it was estimated that 35.7% of the variation in demand was explained by six independent variables. The GLS model shows that the family size, special occasions of consumption such as birthdays, and the decline in sea turtle populations positively affect the demand function. The person's occupation, monthly income, and the 1990 ban on sea turtle harvest negatively affect this demand. Ninety-four surveys and seventy interviews conducted in the region (July 24th-August 1st, 1999) were used to describe a supply function. The GLS estimation indicates that 27.8% of the variation in the supply of sea turtles in the bay is influenced by nine variables. Age, level of education, fishing practices, number of dependents, availability of sea turtles, and culture significantly affect the supply of sea turtles in the Bahia Magdalena region.
