Download or read book A Fisheries Management System in Crisis written by Jesper Raakjær and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that tremendous effort and many resources have been invested in improving the performance of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), the crisis in the EU fisheries management systems worsens year by year. This crisis has prevailed almost since the CFP was first implemented in 1983. The analytical framework applied in this book is based on four perspectives - political, ideational, institutional/organizational, and socio-economical - used in the following manner: the analyses of the political decision-making processes provide an understanding of the complicated and complex political processes * the analyses of ideational perspectives focus on "new modes of governance" arising from general reforms in EU governance and public administration * the institutional/organizational analyses focus on the fisheries management system as an institution, explaining the complex, multifaceted, and often contradictory objectives that the fisheries management system operates within and interacts with * the socio-economic analyses link the fisheries management system to fishing practices and the fishing communities by identifying the main factors that determine fishing behavior. The purpose is to examine how well the management schemes fit the practical reality within the social systems and the individual fishermen that are managed.

Download or read book Public Policy Disasters in Europe written by Paul 't Hart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers some recent and spectacular failures in policy-making and asks what is meant by policy 'disaster', the different forms that they can take and why they have occured. These issues are explored in nine contrasting cases drawn from both the European Union and its member states. These include: the devastating crisis in the Belgium political system following the exposure of a paedophile ring; the crisis in the Dutch fight against drugs; 'Mad Cows', the 'Arms to Iraq' affair in the UK; monetary union between West and East Germany; the Swedish monetary crisis of 1992; and the EU's common fisheries policy and policies towards civil war in Yugoslavia. This book is an excellent study of how and why policies can go wrong and highlights the limits of what governments can achieve in Western Europe.

Download or read book Fewer Fish in the Sea written by Commission of the European Communities and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are more fish in the sea than ever came out of it" runs the proverb. In the North Sea and the North Atlantic this may no longer be true, for stocks of many species of fish have fallen to crisis level. This is the real drama behind the recent fisheries dispute with Iceland and the present debate on the European Commission's proposals for a modified common fisheries policy. The fishermen of the Community's member states face a common threat to their livelihood; the future of the industry in all member states is in jeopardy. The continuing debate about fishing limits, both within Community waters and outside, should not obscure the common danger of falling resources and the common efforts of conservation and restocking that are needed to overcome it.

Download or read book Silent Seas The Fish Race to the Bottom written by Isabella Lovin and published by . This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Isabella Lovin writes with great passion and clarity about the crisis facing global fish stocks. Exposing the weak short termism of governments, and the persistent failure of the EU fisheries policy to act on the clear science, her warning is unequivocal: act soon or lose vast sections of this vital source of food forever. But it's not all gloom and doom. She is clear that this is a solvable problem - and that until governments legislate more responsibly, consumer action is the best means for bringing about change. A compelling book, that all those who care about the future of our oceans will want to read." HUGH FERNLEY-WHITTINGSTALL, HUGH'S FISH FIGHT "Who would have thought that Sweden, of all places, would have allowed its fisheries to reach the sorry state documented in Isabella Lovin's essential book? We are surprised and dismayed, but should we be? What Ms. Lovin demonstrates is that the public's notion about fisheries being benign stakeholders of the sea is deeply flawed. Rather, fisheries, as presently 'managed', are actively destroying marine ecosystems and public resources with the financial and administrative support of governments. Ms. Lovin uses the Baltic, and the eel and cod as her main examples, yet this bok is not about Sweden and the Baltic - it is about a mindset prevailing throughout Europe and in much of the world, and which we desperately need to change. This book will make you want to join the battle." DR. DANIEL PAULY, FISHERIES CENTRE, UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLOMBIA "Silent Seas is the Da Vinci Code of fisheries policy. A page turner where the same question keeps turning over and over inside your head: Who is the killer? Who killed our seas? " STEFAN NYSTROM, SWEDISH FISHERIES MAGAZINE "Read Silent Seas. Then contact your MP " GUNVOR HILLDEN, UPSALA NYA NEWSPAPER Silent seas was first published in Swedish in 2007, and was soon awarded no less than 14 prizes, among which the prestigious Great Journalism Award, the Investigative Journalism Award, the Environmental Journalism of the Year Award and the Baltic Sea Award. Isabella Lovin became a candidate for the Swedish Greens in the elections for the European parliament in 2009, and is now actively working to reform the EU common fisheries policy. The present English edition has been updated, and a new foreword has been added in 2012.
Download or read book Making Fisheries Management Work written by Stig S. Gezelius and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state of the Northeast Atlantic fisheries in recent years has highlighted - plementation as the Achilles heel of modern fisheries management: discards and unreported or misreported landings are in many cases recognised to effectively subvert sound conservation goals. Social science literature on fisheries mana- ment has tended to regard the implementation of resource conservation policies mainly as a question of effective enforcement. This literature regards surveillance and penalty as the key mechanism through which fishermen keep to catch restr- tions and loyally report their catches. This book emerged because several years of research on fishermen’s compliance had made us uneasy about this rather narrow approach to the problem of implementation. This uneasiness motivated us to widen the approach to the question of implementing conservation policies in the fisheries. Taking Norway as an example, its fishing fleet consists of some 7,000 vessels spread along a coastline of more than 20,000 km, populated by less than 5 million people. The idea of ensuring desirable behaviour through surveillance and - forcement alone is almost absurd in such a context, as the task is impossible by any reasonable means. The Norwegian implementation system has thus had to rely heavily on the incentives provided by the rules and legitimacy created through a century of state/industry collaboration. Different coastal states face very different conditions in terms of solving typical implementation problems such as discards and misreporting.

Download or read book The Bluefin Tuna Fishery in the Bay of Biscay written by José Luis Cort and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book is an original contribution to the knowledge on fishing and research associated with one of the most enigmatic fish of our seas: bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus (L.). Based on available evidence, it reconstructs the possible methods used to catch large spawners in the Strait of Gibraltar thousands of years ago and describes the much more recent overfishing that led to a great reduction in the catches of the trap fishery on the area and the disappearance of the northern European fisheries. It is the first book to relate the overfishing of juvenile fishes in certain areas to the decline of large spawners in other very distant areas, revealing one of the main underlying causes of this decline, which has remained a mystery to the fishing sector and scientists alike for over 50 years. This finding should serve to prevent similar cases from arising in the future.
