Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small-scale fisheries support millions of people around the world but they face a common issue of overcapacity and, subsequently, an overexploitation of resources. One solution to this is through the implementation of territorial-use rights in fisheries (TURFs) where specific areas are designated for fishing by specific individuals or groups while excluding all others. In El Corredor, Baja California Sur, small-scale fishers target a variety of reef fishes under a permit system managed by cooperatives using hook-and-line, of which the Pacific red snapper (Lutjanus peru) is the most important species economically and socially. After concerns arose about possible overexploitation of fishery resources, in part due to competition with industrial fishers, fishers in El Corredor became interested in establishing TURFs over their fishing grounds. Using a spatial bioeconomic model called TURFtools, we explored the possible impacts of establishing TURFs in El Corredor to provide fishers with the knowledge necessary to make informed management decisions for their fisheries. Of the five scenarios tested, we found combining TURFs with no-take reserves—whether maintained at their current size or expanded—had the highest increase in fish abundance, fisher harvest, and fisher profit in comparison to the status quo after 20 years. TURFs may be beneficial to El Corredor fishers in addressing overcapacity issues within their fisheries given they can collaborate on how best to manage these TURFs. Though the use of TURFs to manage small-scale finfish fisheries needs to be further explored, this study is the first step in exploring their efficacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Territorial use rights in fisheries (TURFs) have existed for centuries. They are widely available for sedentary resources. In addition, however, they have appeared in a number of marine fisheries in traditional communities and are also being acquired, legally or extra-legally, for such techniques as floating fish aggregation devices and other forms of fixed gear. TURFs provide interesting opportunities for dealing with two major aspects of fisheries management -efficient production of net benefits and equitable distribution of benefits. Further exploration of the possible adoption of TURFs as a means for management seem desirable. This paper explores some of the definitional elements of TURFs and the distinctions between territorial rights and common property. It also exercises some of the conditions that may have an effect on the creation and maintenance of TURFs. And it discusses briefly some of the implications for equitable distribution of benefits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich VWL - Umweltökonomie, Note: 2,0, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel (Umwelt-, Ressourcen- und Ökologische Ökonomik), Veranstaltung: Ressourcenökonomik / Nachhaltigkeitsökonomik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In den vergangenen 40 Jahren ist der durchschnittliche Fischkonsum einer einzigen Person auf das ganze Jahr bezogen stetig angestiegen. Gleichzeitig hat sich der Anteil der weltweiten Bestände, welche als voll ausgebeutet oder als „übernutzt“ einzustufen sind, von 65% im Jahre 1995 auf 80% im Jahre 2005 ausgeweitet. Seit Jahrzehnten werden verschiedene Maßnahmen ergriffen, um das Ausmaß dieses Zustandes einzudämmen und eine nachhaltige Nutzung der natürlichen Ressource Fisch zu schaffen. Dabei stehen Regulierungsmaßnahmen im Mittelpunkt, welche zum einen zur Regeneration der überfischten Bestände und zum anderen zur Verhinderung weiterer Schädigungen der Ökosysteme beitragen sollen. In der Literatur existiert eine Vielzahl an Studien, die den direkten Zusammenhang solcher Erhaltungsmaßnahme auf das zugrundeliegende Erhaltungsziel beschreiben. Jedoch fehlte es bislang an Forschungen, die nicht nur die direkte Auswirkung analysieren, sondern auch die zusätzlichen Effekte einer Regulierungsmaßnahme auf andere im Ökosystem lebende Arten. Diese Lücke versuchten Gelcich et. al. 2008 mit ihrer Studie zu schließen, indem sie die direkten und zusätzlichen Auswirkungen sogenannter territorialer Nutzungsrechte in Zentral-Chile untersuchten. Die Arbeit beginnt anhand eines vereinfachten Models des bioökonomischen Gleichgewichts einer Fischereiwirtschaft nach H. Scott Gordon aufzuzeigen, warum eine unregulierte Fischerei negative ökologische und ökonomische Folgen haben kann. Um diesen Problemen entgegenzuwirken werden anschließend Regulierungsmaßnahmen vorgestellt, die in der Praxis Anwendung finden und deren Implementierungsschwierigkeiten aufgezeigt. Im Hauptteil werden die Auswirkungen der Regulierungsmaßnahme territorialer Nutzungsrechte (TURFs) in Zentral-Chile anhand der Hypothese untersucht, dass ein Regulierungssystem nicht nur direkte Effekte auf das betreffende Erhaltungsobjekt hat, sondern auch zusätzlich sogenannte Add-On-Effekte auf andere Spezies aufweise kann. Die Arbeit schließt mit einer zusammenfassenden Schlussbetrachtung der wichtigsten Ergeb-nisse der Studie.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third and main section of the document discusses ways of increasing the contribution of small-scale fisheries to poverty alleviation and food security through nine main entry points. First, the paper revisits conventional fisheries policies and legislation and makes suggestions on how those can be made more pro-poor. Next, the paper emphasizes the importance of capacity building and highlights how cross-sectoral interventions can greatly improve the livelihoods of fish-dependent communities. The paper then proposes a series of broad pro-poor or pro-small-scale fisheries principles, before discussing in greater detail three of the main management instruments adopted in fisheries: (i) property right approaches; (ii) co-management; and (iii) protected areas. The next two sub-sections discuss markets and how to make them work for the poor, and the important issue of pro-poor financing systems and subsidies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every decision about energy involves its price and cost. The price of gasoline and the cost of buying from foreign producers; the price of nuclear and hydroelectricity and the costs to our ecosystems; the price of electricity from coal-fired plants and the cost to the atmosphere. Giving life to inventions, lifestyle changes, geopolitical shifts, and things in-between, energy economics is of high interest to Academia, Corporations and Governments. For economists, energy economics is one of three subdisciplines which, taken together, compose an economic approach to the exploitation and preservation of natural resources: energy economics, which focuses on energy-related subjects such as renewable energy, hydropower, nuclear power, and the political economy of energy resource economics, which covers subjects in land and water use, such as mining, fisheries, agriculture, and forests environmental economics, which takes a broader view of natural resources through economic concepts such as risk, valuation, regulation, and distribution Although the three are closely related, they are not often presented as an integrated whole. This Encyclopedia has done just that by unifying these fields into a high-quality and unique overview. The only reference work that codifies the relationships among the three subdisciplines: energy economics, resource economics and environmental economics. Understanding these relationships just became simpler! Nobel Prize Winning Editor-in-Chief (joint recipient 2007 Peace Prize), Jason Shogren, has demonstrated excellent team work again, by coordinating and steering his Editorial Board to produce a cohesive work that guides the user seamlessly through the diverse topics This work contains in equal parts information from and about business, academic, and government perspectives and is intended to serve as a tool for unifying and systematizing research and analysis in business, universities, and government

Download or read book Review of the State of World Marine Capture Fisheries Management written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first half of the 1990s, in response to the increasing concern about many of the world's fisheries, a number of international fisheries instruments provided an impetus for countries to strengthen their fisheries management. A key step in supporting such efforts is the development of more detailed, systematic and comparable information on fisheries environments and management trends. The State of World Marine Capture Fisheries Management Questionnaire was developed by FAO in 2004 to help meet this need. The results have been grouped by region and are reported in this publication. More than a decade later, we are able to look back to see how countries responded, to examine whether more fisheries are managed and to determine whether the management tools and strategies employed have improved the overall situation in marine capture fisheries. Trends in legal and administrative frameworks, management regimes and status of marine capture fisheries are analysed for 29 countries in the Pacific Ocean and presented in this report and on the accompanying CD-ROM as an easy-to-read and informative reference for policy decision-makers, fishery managers and stakeholders.
