Book Shining a Light

Download or read book Shining a Light written by Sally Yozell and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commercial fishing is big business, with a complex global seafood supply chain and over 56 million people working on vessels to support it. It is shrouded in an opaque operating system that limits information about where vessels operate, who owns them, the amount of fish that is caught, how fish is shipped and transshipped to market, the human labor practices onboard, and the access arrangements to other nations’ waters. This lack of transparency is accompanied by a dearth of research and data regarding the scale of the industry, the motivations of its proprietors, and the impact these fishing practices are having on coastal countries and marine fisheries. The clandestine nature of the industry has led to illicit activities and increased illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, all of which threaten the long-term sustainability of global fisheries. This report identifies the top DWF fleets in the world, where they operate, their motivations and economic impact, and their connections to IUU fishing and illicit activity. Ultimately, this report argues the current fishing industry is unsustainable. The challenges that DWF fleets pose to coastal countries’ resources and the fishing industry, particularly the expanding Chinese fleet, will persist unless there is a significant global shift towards sustained fisheries management.

Book Conservation and Management of Transnational Tuna Fisheries

Download or read book Conservation and Management of Transnational Tuna Fisheries written by Robin Allen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-02-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation and Management of Transnational Tuna Fisheries reviews and synthesizes the existing literature, focusing on rights-based management and the creation of economic incentives to manage transnational tuna fisheries. Transnational tuna fisheries are among the most important fisheries in the world, and tuna commissions are increasingly shifting toward this approach. Comprehensively covering the subject, Conservation and Management of Transnational Tuna Fisheries summarizes global experience and offers practical applications for applying rights-based management and the creation of economic incentives, addressing potential problems as well as the total level of capacity. This reference work is divided into four parts, beginning with an overview of the book, including the issues, property rights, and rights-based management. The subsequent sections address issues arising with property rights, discuss bycatch, and cover compliance, enforcement, trade measures, and politics. Written by an expert team of international authors, Conservation and Management of Transnational Tuna Fisheries will appeal to social and fisheries scientists and fishery managers in universities and research institutions, government and non-governmental organizations, fisheries management bodies, members of the fishing industry, and international institutions.

Book New Directions in Agrarian Political Economy

Download or read book New Directions in Agrarian Political Economy written by Ryan Isakson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How relevant are the classic theories of agrarian change in the contemporary context? This volume explores this question by focusing upon the defining features of agrarian transformation in the 21st century: the financialization of food and agriculture, the blurring of rural and urban livelihoods through migration and other economic activities, forest transition, climate change, rural indebtedness, the co-evolution of social policy and moral economies, and changing property relations. Combined, the eleven contributions to this collection provide a broad overview of agrarian studies over the past four decades and identify the contemporary frontiers of agrarian political economy. In this path-breaking collection, the authors show how new iterations of long evident processes continue to catch peasants and smallholders in the crosshairs of crises and how many manage to face these challenges, developing new sources and sites of livelihood production. This volume was published as part one of the special double issue celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Journal of Peasant Studies.

Book Ecological and Economic Impacts of Distant Water Fishing

Download or read book Ecological and Economic Impacts of Distant Water Fishing written by Antonius von Gagern and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la segona meitat del segle XX, la industrialització dels vaixells pesquers va donar lloc a una sobreexplotació dels recursos marins a les àrees costeres dels estats tradicionalment pesquers. En conseqüència, els països pesquers industrialitzats van començar a explorar les aigües llunyanes, en gran part sense traves legals, per alimentar la creixent demanda de peix i marisc. Amb l'entrada en vigor de la Convenció de les Nacions Unides de 1982 sobre el Dret del Mar (UNCLOS, en anglès), així com l'Acord de Recursos Pesqueres ("Fish stock agreement") de les Nacions Unides de 1995, es van reestructurar radicalment els drets i les responsabilitats de la pesca de captura marina. No obstant això, aquestes noves legislacions van deixar molt d'espai a l'explotació econòmicament ineficient i ecològicament insostenible dels recursos pesquers. En tres assaigs, aquesta tesi dóna llum a la interacció entre les flotes industrialitzades d'aigües llunyanes i les regions sovint vulnerables on s'hi pesca. El primer assaig revisa críticament el desenvolupament de la pesca en aigües llunyanes en el món tropical durant els darrers 50 anys i ofereix una anàlisi quantitativa de la relació entre les flotes d'aigües llunyanes i els països tropicals d'acollida. Es conclou que hi ha un clar canvi de poder dels països tradicionalment pesquers als nouvinguts, sobretot asiàtics, i que els països petits i econòmicament febles són els més vulnerables a relacions d'explotació amb els estats que pesquen en aigües llunyanes. El segon assaig aborda la qüestió de si, des d'un punt de vista econòmic, els Països Insulars del Pacífic (PICs, en anglès) haurien de continuar concedint accés als estats pesquers d'aigües llunyanes, o si s'hauria d'intentar desenvolupar una indústria pròpia pesquera nacional. Amb aquesta finalitat, un nou model bioeconòmic amb múltiples espècies i actors és analitzat. Els resultats del model mostren que els PICs maximitzarien els seus beneficis mitjançant l'eliminació gradual dels acords d'accés amb els estats pesquers d'aigües llunyanes, substituint-los per un esforç pesquer nacional. L'alternativa és elevar considerablement les tarifes d'accés, tot i que, per descomptat, això pot tenir diferents conseqüències a llarg termini. En el tercer assaig, es descriu un model empíric per inferir el pes viu de la pesca de la tonyina vermella a l'Atlàntic Est i al Mediterrani (EBFT, en anglès) a partir de dades mensuals del comerç entre 2005 i 2011. En base a la captura total estimada, s'arriba a la conclusió que l'EBFT ha estat persistentment sobreexplotada al llarg de tot el període esmentat. En conclusió, aquesta tesi ha contribuït a la literatura tot estudiant l'impacte de la pesca en aigües llunyanes sobre la salut de les poblacions de peixos en alta mar i en les zones econòmiques exclusives en regions tropicals, així com en el benestar dels països en desenvolupament que són abundants en recursos pesquers.

Book Adjustments to Changes in Fisheries Law and Economics

Download or read book Adjustments to Changes in Fisheries Law and Economics written by Barbara C. Cleveland and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 1985 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1970's there have been significant changes in the conditions governing the exploitation of marine fishery resources. These changes include the generalized extension of national jurisdiction over fisheries to 200 nautical miles; the decline in the rate of growth of world catch and the growing evidence of limits to supply; and the changes in economic conditions including the rise in fuel prices and the economic recessions. These changes have had significantly different effects on different countries. This document contains case studies of the effects on eight countries: Argentina, Australia, Cuba, Kiribati, Malaysia, Morocco, Norway and Poland.
