  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: The Challenges and Potential of the Fisheries Co-Management Programmes in Malawi: Case of Lake Malombe Participatory Fisheries Management Programme Author: Njaya, Friday Jack Year: 2001 Fish resource management system in Malawi has undergone several changes for nearly a century. The conventional centralised fisheries management system was introduced after the colonial rule through a mandated Fisheries Department, taking over the whole responsibility of controlling exploitation of fisheries resources from the traditional powers. The major focus at that time was on fisheries development whereby technologies on fishing methods, fishing gears and craft were being introduced to exploit the fisheries resources. However, by late 1980s, fish catches of commercial Oreochromis spp. in Lake Malombe began to decline. This was due to a number of factors such as the uncontrolled increase in fishing effort, environmental degradation and limited capacity of the Fisheries Department to enforce regulations. Consequently, the declining catch levels of Oreochromis spp. in Lake Malombe necessitated a refocus of the fisheries management system in order to facilitate recovery of the collapsed fishery. A pilot participatory fisheries management programme was therefore introduced in 1993. This is a co-management arrangement whereby local level representative institutions called Beach Village Committees (BVCs) and the Department of Fisheries (DoF) are considered key partners and jointly make decisions. This paper, therefore, highlights the challenges and potential of fisheries co-management programmes in Malawi and proposes a way forward for improvement.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Collaborative Research: Innovations and Challenges for Fisheries Management in New Zealand Author: Harte, Michael Year: 2001 Collaborative research initiatives between New Zealand’s fisheries management agencies and commercial fisher organisations are commonplace. This can be attributed to a combination of fisheries management institutions and processes that on the one hand create incentives for commercial fishers to take increasing responsibility for fisheries research and on the other hand provide for governance structures that ensure the transparency and integrity of industry-led research. Nevertheless the full potential of collaborative research initiatives has yet to be realised. Collaborative research has been an indirect outcome of New Zealand’s rights-based fisheries management framework and until recently there has been little effort to explicitly provide for it in Government policy. The financial and management capacity of commercial fisher organisations must also be developed if collaborative research is to become a core function of these organisations. High expectations have been created for collaborative research and failure to address key issues will undermine the potential and hence legitimacy of collaborative research involving commercial fishers and other fisheries stakeholders.
