Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the introduction of the 200-mile extended economic zone (EEZ), many developing countries suddenly found they had large fish resources, which – wisely managed and exploited – could generate wealth and income of immense benefit. However, one constraint to this was that many countries, for historic reasons, lacked the expertise to manage fisheries on this scale. Despite the need for information, few economists and especially development economists teaching in universities and colleges were able to incorporate fisheries economics into their courses owing to the lack of readily accessible material. As a result, many rising economists were failing to recognize the global importance of fishers as an economic resource capable of generating substantial wealth and income to many countries. Economics of Fisheries Development provides an accessible exploration of this area of economics, introducing development economists to some of the problems of developing fisheries in areas of the world where fisheries now present great growth prospects. The case studies used throughout the book are nearly entirely drawn from developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an up-to-date review of our current understanding of climate change in the North Sea and adjacent areas, as well as its impact on ecosystems and socio-economic sectors. It provides a detailed assessment of climate change based on published scientific work compiled by independent international experts from climate-related disciplines such as oceanography, atmospheric sciences, marine and terrestrial ecology, using a regional evaluation and review process similar to that of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of our changing climate, discussing a wide range of topics including past, current and future climate change, and climate-related changes in marine, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. It also explores the impact of climate change on socio-economic sectors such as fisheries, agriculture, coastal zone management, coastal protection, urban climate, recreation/tourism, offshore activities/energy, and air pollution.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most small-scale fisheries are in developing countries and many live in poor and food insecure communities. These guidelines considers how small-scale fisheries can contribute to poverty alleviation and food security, and complement existing technical guidelines on sustainable fisheries. Issues discussed include: participation by small-scale fishers and their communities in development of policy and regulation measures, as well as in management decision-making and implementation processes; cross-sectoral uses of fisheries and related resources; the special role of women in fish marketing, processing and value addition; the significant scope for trade; financing; information research and communication aspects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to effectively conserve and manage marine resources are facing increasing complexity of environmental and governance challenges. To address some of these challenges, this book presents advancements in fisheries bioeconomics research that provides significant ideas for addressing emerging environmental and fisheries management issues. Advances in Fisheries Bioeconomics gives insights into innovative approaches dealing with these issues, as well as novel ideas on changes in fisheries management paradigms. With contributions from leading experts in the field, this book offers an examination of a number of topics including: ecosystem based fisheries management; by-catch management and discard bans; the number of players in the fisheries game; the effects of ocean acidification; and the trends and impacts of eco-labeling and eco-certification of fisheries. Through integrating resource biology and ecology with the economics of fishers’ behaviour, the authors provide valuable analysis of the current issues in fisheries management. This book will be of interest to those on advanced courses in fisheries science, natural resource biology and ecology, and environmental and natural resource economics. It will also appeal to researchers, policy makers, and advocacy groups around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Sunken Billions: The Economic Justification for Fisheries Reform' shows the difference between the potential and actual net economic benefits from marine fisheries is about $50 billion per year, or some $2 trillion over the last three decades. If fish stocks were rebuilt, the current marine catch could be achieved with approximately half the current global fishing effort. This illustrates the massive overcapacity of the global fleet. The excess competition for the limited fish resources results in declining productivity, economic inefficiency, and depressed fisher incomes. The focus on the deteriorating biological health of world fisheries has tended to obscure their equally critical economic health. Achieving sustainable fisheries presents challenges not only of biology and ecology, but also of managing political and economic processes and replacing pernicious incentives with those that foster improved governance and responsible stewardship. Improved governance of marine fisheries could regain a substantial part of this annual economic loss and contribute to economic growth. Fisheries governance reform is a long-term process requiring political will and consensus vision, built through broad stakeholder dialogue. Reforms will require investment in good governance, including strengthening marine tenure systems and reducing illegal fishing and harmful subsidies. Realizing the potential economic benefits of fisheries means reducing fishing effort and capacity. To offset the associated social adjustment costs, successful reforms should provide for social safety nets and alternative economic opportunities for affected communities.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the new ocean regime of extended fisheries jurisdictions, governments of developing countries in Asia, and elsewhere, face a unique opportunity for upgrading their depressed coastal fisheries to take advantage of their enlarged resource base. This volume is a partial response to the resulting need for a better understanding of the constraints and opportunities facing small-scale fisheries. It contains 23 papers on small-scale capture and culture fisheries from five Asian countries -- Bangladesh, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Thailand -- based on original field research sponsored by the International Development Research Centre. Among the subjects covered are socio-economic conditions, productivity and economic efficiency, cost structure and profitability, marketing, social and institutional constraints, and government programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small-scale fisheries are a vital resource in developing countries. However, efforts to manage these fisheries to improve human welfare are hampered by the complex economic and biological settings in which small-scale fisheries are nested. The goal of this dissertation is to contribute to the effective management of small-scale fisheries by developing a new modeling framework that accounts for these contextual factors and heterogeneous distributional outcomes when simulating the impacts of policy interventions. I do this by building a bioeconomic local general equilibrium model that accounts for linkages between fishers, nonfishers, the local economy, and the fish population. I apply this model to a case study of a western Philippine fishing community in order to examine three questions related to small-scale fisheries in developing countries. In chapter 1, I examine whether the creation of alternative livelihoods in tourism can simultaneously reduce fishing pressure and improve local incomes for the poor in a developing-world setting. In chapter 2, I illustrate how efforts to alleviate local poverty impact local natural resources, and what welfare implications this has for different socioeconomic groups. In chapter 3, I examine the local general equilibrium impacts and distributional consequences of small-scale fisheries rationalization in a developing-world setting. Each case illustrates the importance of accounting for how the fishery is linked to local economic and ecological systems. The effects of each policy ripple through the local economy and natural environment, creating feedbacks that play a substantial role in determining the outcomes of the policies. In addition, these linkages result in distributional outcomes that extend beyond the households targeted by the policies. The modeling framework and scenarios examined in this dissertation can help policymakers navigate the economic and ecological linkages that are critical for determining the success or failure of policies related to small-scale fisheries management and poverty in developing countries.
