  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Investment Impact Evaluation: A World Bank Project in Liberia Author: Garlock, Taryn, Asche, Frank, Chu, Jingjie A number of fisheries development projects are undertaken every year in recognition of the important role fisheries play in many coastal communities. The objectives and emphasis varies, but typically goes beyond a limited focus on fisheries management and the ecosystem to include essential economic and social impacts. This makes it difficult to evaluate the impact of a project in any environment, and it is particularly challenging in the data poor circumstances in many developing countries. In this paper we will use the recently developed Fisheries Performance Indicators (FPI) to investigate the impact of a World Bank development project in Liberia, as the FPIs are designed to capture most dimensions of a fisheries system and are applicable in data poor environments. It was relatively straightforward to collect the FPI indicators when the project was started and completed. The results show improvements in most dimensions emphasized in the project, and also in many hard to measure social dimensions. Hence, one can conclude that the project was highly successful. However, there were also important indicators, particularly in relation to general governance, with a negative development.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Sport FPIs: A New Instrument in the FPI Toolbox Author: Garlock, Taryn, Asche, Frank, Anderson, James The Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs) have been successfully applied to commercial fisheries around the globe and have uncovered key insights into fishery management success. We developed an extension of the FPIs to consider performance of recreational fisheries. The Sport FPIs were developed through multiple iterations of consulting, piloting and revision with fisheries experts. The indicators were tested on three case study fisheries: Florida tarpon, Florida bay scallops and Florida spiny lobster. These case studies and the authors’ experiences led to further revision of the instrument. The structure of the Sport FPIs relies heavily on the original FPI framework due to its success in addressing the lack of standardized, precise fishery data. Some aspects of commercial fisheries are analogous to recreational fisheries and commercial indicators required only minor revision to effectively measure recreational performance. To capture other aspects of recreational fisheries required development of new indicators. Thirty-two new output indicators and 33 new input indicators were developed to capture recreational fishery success and to explain outcomes. New indicators were designed to capture the social utility and the impact of recreational fishing expenditures on the local community.  New input indicators were developed including indicators characterized by angler motivations and common recreational management strategies such as fish stocking, habitat enhancement, bag limits, among others. Insights and value of this new tool will be discussed.   Title: The Sport FPIs: A New Instrument in the FPI Toolbox Author: Garlock, Taryn, Asche, Frank, Anderson, James The Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs) have been successfully applied to commercial fisheries around the globe and have uncovered key insights into fishery management success.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Modelling a Small-Scale Sea Cucumber Fishery in Yucatan Author: Hernández-Flores, Alvaro The status of many sea cucumber fisheries in the world is overexploited. Some of the reasons are: an increase in demand from China, the distance of these fisheries to China, and the high rate of fisheries development. Most sea cucumber fisheries are small-scale with a simple management system. To overcome overexploitation, it is important to know the fisheries management systems. The research questions of this study are: What are the biological and economic factors that accelerate the development of these fisheries? What factors threaten the sustainability of these stocks? And what possible strategies could be implemented? With biological information of the species, fishermen behavior, and the economics, we developed a spatial dynamic bioeconomic model. The model explained the interactions between fishing effort allocation, quasi-profits and population depletion. Our results showed that the main factors that could lead the fishery to the collapse are: a) the spatial pattern, b) excess fishing capacity, c) high quasi-profits in the short term, d) density dependent catchability, and e) heavy density dependence of reproduction. Given the high prices, production, and low opportunity cost of fishers in tropical countries, they often prefer to maximize their short-term gains, regardless of long-term losses due to collapse. Ensuring sustainability requires community agreements and regulations like: minimum legal size, quotas, catch limit per trip, season closed to fishing and rotation of participants.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Case Study: California Fisheries Fund Author: Higgins, Phoebe The California Fisheries Fund (CFF) launched in 2008 as a public-private initiative aimed at demonstrating how to make financial investments in a growing, sustainable commercial ­fishing industry. Since then, CFF has operated as a nonprofit revolving loan fund, extending 34 loans totaling more than $4.2 million. CFF’s initial business model proposed that loans would be made to associations of fishermen who would conduct research and planning to develop better fisheries management structures. However, such associations did not develop as quickly as anticipated, and CFF sought out alternate borrowers. CFF was the first lender to accept Pacific groundfish quota as collateral. For fishermen, using quota as collateral presents a powerful new opportunity to access capital. CFF has demonstrated that the fishing industry can be financially viable and bankable but has also uncovered challenges regarding the size of the investment opportunity and financial viability of such a fund. During this session we will address some key questions regarding how and when to deploy financial return-seeking capital to accelerate the transition to sustainable fisheries: What are the critical enabling conditions that facilitate financial investment? How do you identify or develop viable investible entities with a track record of success? How can different forms of capital be paired or blended to achieve the desired outcome? Given the lack of profitable fisheries investment fund models, what are the right models for achieving impact?
