Download or read book Sharing the Fish written by Committee to Review Individual Fishing Quotas and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-06-23 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most U.S. fish stocks are fully or over-exploited, and harvesting in many fisheries far exceeds sustainable levels. The individual fishing quota (IFQ) is a relatively new instrument under which harvesting privileges are allocated to individual fishermen--innovative yet controversial for its feared effect on fishing communities and individual fishermen. Based on testimony from fishermen, regulators, environmentalists, and others, Sharing the Fish explores how IFQs might address the serious social, economic, and biologic issues raised by depleted fish stocks. In their approach to a national policy on IFQs, the panel makes direct recommendations to Congress, the Secretary of Commerce, the National Marine Fisheries Service, regional fishery management councils, state authorities, and others. This book provides definitions and examples, reviews legislation and regulations, and includes lessons learned from fisheries on the U.S. East Coast and in Alaska, and in Iceland, New Zealand, and other nations. The committee discusses the public trust doctrine, management of common-pool resources, alternative and complementary approaches to the IFQ, and more. Sharing the Fish provides straightforward answers that will be important to fishery policymakers and regulators, natural resource economists, fishery managers, environmental advocates, and concerned fishermen and their communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the impact of fish stock assessment and catch share arrangements in context through case studies and in terms of ecosystem, economy and society. It examines the rationalizing work of bio-economic projects, especially the institutionalization of individual transferable quota (ITQ) in fisheries: what impact have they had on fisheries and fishers? The contributing authors understand ITQ and quota management as bio-economic projects, that is, as widely deployed but locally constituted projects that combine biological and economic logics to rationalize production and, in this case, fish. Politicians and managers use these projects and the models that justify them to rationalize fisheries in favor of modern technology and for capital and species efficiency. Aimed at a diverse interdisciplinary fisheries management readership, and designed as a guide to issues emerging in any assessment of ITQ, the book is a timely investigation of the origins and diverse experiences of ITQ projects, including resistance to them, attempts to develop fisheries management around them, and experiences of the risks that come with them. Now around forty years old, ITQ has never been subject to the kind of comprehensive sustainability assessments once advocated by Elinor Ostrom, let alone the full-cost accounting of impacts at the national level that Evelyn Pinkerton recently called for. Fisheries, Quota Management and Quota Transfer offers multi-disciplinary assessments of the effects of ITQ from scholars working in eight countries. The book brings together scholars from anthropology, economics, geography, sociology, the history of science, and marine environmental history to discuss experiences from fisheries in eight industrialized countries. It considers cases from outside as well as inside the EU, including ITQ pioneers, New Zealand and Iceland. The combination allows for an unprecedented international perspective on stock assessments and share allocation systems. By emphasizing emerging, becoming, learning and transforming through knowledge, the book conceives technology as a field of power and choice, nevertheless dominated by managers through specific projects in specific contexts. Individual chapters relate bio-economic projects to separate theoretical literature, an approach that facilitates multi-disciplinary dialog.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of papers originally presented at an international conference on Individual Transferable Quotas, ITQs, held in Reykjavik in November of 1998. In this book, eleven authors, including Anthony Scott, the pioneer in the economies of fisheries, and Phillip Major, a former administrator of the New Zealand ITQ system, explore the theory and practice of ITQs. They discuss possible future extensions of ITQs, their political acceptability, the approach known as Free Market Environmentalism, the evolution and performance of systems of ITQs in New Zealand and Iceland, advances in the technology necessary to husband marine resources, the possibility of self-management in fisheries, the demand for resource rentals, and other aspects of ITQ systems.

This book was released on 2014-01-20 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is an interdisciplinary mix of perspectives and studies on social issues in fisheries from a diverse range of case studies and research disciplines. The case is made regarding the dearth of attention to socio-cultural considerations which to date have been largely treated as an externality of fisheries policy. It will be valuable to researchers and decision makers interested in understanding the social dimension of fisheries and provides a timely and relevant compilation of research and analysis on some of the critical socio-cultural issues facing fisheries management and fishing communities today.

Download or read book Individual Quota Management in Fisheries written by Gary R. Morgan and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of fisheries by catch quotas has a long history in a number of areas and has been probably the most common method of controlling exploitation of fish stocks. However, in recent years, the technique of managing by global Total Allowable Catches (TACs) has not been able to address the rapid improvements in technology of harvesting and has therefore not generally been successful in limiting fleet capacity. This, combined with practical difficulties of monitoring and enforcing TACs, has resulted in a poor record in achieving fish stock sustainability and in optimizing the economic performance of fisheries. However, recent advances in and adoption of the techniques of managing by Individual Transferable Quotas (ITQs), which provide greater incentives for sustaining and optimising economic performance of fisheries, have re-focused attention on quota management. The increasing interest in ITQ management has, however, not been matched by the availability of a theoretical framework for quota management which considers the various biological, economic and financial influences as part of an integrated management system. This paper is the first of a projected series which examines not only this theoretical basis of quota (particularly ITQ) management as an integrated system but also draws on practical experiences in various parts of the world to provide guidance for agencies examining the issue of quota management in fisheries. The present paper covers the biological, economic and financial issues which need to be considered in setting the Total Allowable Catch and in allocating that TAC both between participants in the fishery and between those participants and the regulatory agency. Later papers will address the issues of administration of the quota management system, compliance and surveillance issues and secondary markets for quotas.

Book excerpt: Fish stock depletion and gross overcapacity of fishing fleets worldwide has promoted fisheries agencies to reconsider their approaches to the management of commercial fisheries. The use of individual transferable catch quotas is becoming increasingly popular as a means of forestalling or reversing this trend. However, there are many obstacles to successful implementation of this quota management approach, including the initial quota allocation to fishers and the prevention of 'quota busting' and fish discarding actions that threaten the sustainability of the fish stocks and seriously undermine public and fishing industry confidence in the management system. The book draws together the growing body of practical experiences of quota systems both in Australia and internationally with the aim of helping fisheries managers, fishers and others take informed decisions on how to make quota systems work in practice.
