  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: The International Whaling Commission: A Case of Malignant Neglect Author: Aron, William Year: 2001 The International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling was signed in Washington, D.C. in late 1946. All 14 signatories were whaling nations. Apart from some whaling by their indigenous people, none of the original 14 whale today, and some such as the United States, Australia and New Zealand have played leadership roles in supporting a total ban on commercial whaling. The Convention details a strong interest in the conservation of whales and the safeguarding of this great natural resource for future generations. The convention was concluded to provide the proper conservation of whales to assure the orderly development of the whaling industry. The Convention- in its original form- remains in force today. This paper examines how the Convention has been implemented through time, with particular emphasis on the role of science in the Commission. From the start, until the early 1970's, scientific analysis and prediction were largely ignored as the IWC served as overseer to the mass destruction of one great whale population after another. During a brief transition period in the 70's the advice of the IWC scientists was dutifully followed over the objections of both the whaling industry and the animal protection community. By the end of the 70s, however, enough new members, with strong anti-whaling sentiments joined the Commission and once again the voice of science was ignored- but this time to prevent the taking of whales, regardless of their population abundance.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Predicting Resource Management Benefits By Simulating Angler Demand and Supply Responses Author: Hanna, J. Edward, Koveshnikova, Tatiana, Talhelm, Daniel R., Victor, Peter The “product” travel cost model (PTC) improves supply and substitution specification in travel cost models (TCM), eliminating common biases in estimating welfare effects of qualitative changes at specific sites. Angling sites and participation are modeled as a system of product supplies and demands; changes in angling quality at specific sites are evaluated as changes in the supplies of relevant products. PTC assumes that each angler chooses from a selection of angling opportunities (i.e., products) based on access cost (i.e., travel cost) and the nature of each angling product. Key factors defining angling products (e.g., success rate, fish size) are derived from angler travel patterns: Anglers are assumed indifferent between sites providing identical angling products, so choose the lowest cost site. Therefore, the benefits of any management action not only differ from average welfare-change values, but are also site-specific. Changing angling attributes at a site changes its angling product: a unit of the existing product (potentially decreasing its supply) is lost while a unit of the newly created product is produced (potentially increasing its supply). Changes in supply at one site may alter angler participation patterns and the value of angling opportunities at the affected site plus at many other sites as well. Credit Valley Conservation contracted the application of the PTC examined here, namely angling in the Credit River watershed near Toronto, Canada. Average angler consumer surplus was estimated at $40 per angler day and varied according to angling product, location and season.
