Significance The consumption of an important food source, seafood, has increased over the past half century. It is now most globally traded commodity and its supply chains are often complex opaque. Contemporaneous with growth overall production, evidence seafood product mislabeling become ubiquitous. We show that enabling conditions exist for to generate negative impacts on marine populations support products from poorly managed fisheries. More holistic approaches include consumer industry...
Objectives of tradable permit programs are often broader than internalizing an externality and improving economic efficiency. Many designed to accommodate community, cultural, other nonefficiency goals through restrictions on trading. However, can decrease efficiency gains. We use a policy experiment from the Alaska halibut sablefish program, which includes both restricted unrestricted permits, develop one few empirical measurements costs meeting goals. estimate that reducing resource rent...
In recent years, the approach to wild-caught fisheries management has expanded beyond traditional single-fishery management. This article examines potential market failures within sector that may arise because of a failure account for key features and can be addressed by an scope. These include multiple species caught together, targeting same stock, other ecological socioeconomic interconnections ecosystems. We also examine when external factors such as climate change invasions are not...
The conservation of tropical forest carbon stocks offers the opportunity to curb climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and simultaneously conserve biodiversity. However, there has been considerable debate about extent which stock will provide benefits biodiversity in part because whether forests that contain high density their aboveground biomass also animal diversity is unknown. Here, we empirically examined medium large bodied ground-dwelling mammal bird...
Although many migratory species are of conservation concern, traditional policies and economic analysis rarely address the unique characteristics species, limiting their impact. After a brief description key attributes this paper explores how those features alter approaches to answering critical policy questions: where, when, with what tools, which conserve? Because make movement decisions across space time, also considers joint question when where conserve. Policy that spatial–temporal...
Scavenged wildlife products are a unique variety of common pool resources that collected without killing or capturing the animal, and their collection is understudied potentially underregulated relative to conservation significance. The separability these from animals produce them complicates efforts link harvest future resource availability, resulting in lack active management. However, gaining popularity as online markets cater growing global demand for niche animal products. A notable...
Formally protected areas are an important component of wildlife conservation, but face limitations in their effectiveness for migratory species. Improved stewardship working lands around is one solution conservation planning, private vulnerable to development. In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), ungulates such as elk (Cervus canadensis) use both and throughout annual migrations. We studied patterns landownership, protection, challenges within ranges GYE. used GPS data from 1088 26...
Significance Ecosystem-based fisheries management provides a framework for incorporating ecological linkages between into policymaking. However, relatively little attention has been given to economic fisheries: If fishers consider multiple when deciding where, when, and how much fish, there is potential decisions in one fishery generate spillover impacts other fisheries. We evaluate changes participation connectivity of following the implementation Alaska’s catch-share programs. Catch shares...
The debate in commercial fishery management has evolved from whether well-defined rights are necessary for sustainability to measuring the impacts of different rights-based system designs. Most assessments on developed world fisheries. Using a unique collection datasets, we develop counterfactuals evaluate economic Chilean jack mackerel catch share program. We investigate vessel and trip characteristics, as well costs revenues, before after implementation find an increase higher value...
We synthesize literature on the spatial aspects of coupled natural-human systems across a variety natural resource contexts and introduce framework that can be used to compare modeling approaches findings applications. The important components these include heterogeneity in benefits costs connectivity network. One or more is necessary for policies efficient solution. highlight importance by identifying their role previous work shows differentiation policy implementation optimal. pay...
Abstract The United States’ current Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) and a potential extension are undergoing review, yet quantitative evaluation of the program is lacking. SIMP traceability aimed at reducing imports seafood products that illegal, unreported, unregulated (IUU) origin or associated with fraud. We conducted examination SIMP’s scope design by synthesizing publicly available trade data along measures IUU fishing mislabeling. found prioritized shipments amounted to 33%...
Many fishers own a portfolio of permits across multiple fisheries, creating an opportunity for fishing effort to adjust fisheries and enabling impacts from policy change in one fishery spill over into other fisheries. In regions with large diverse number joint-permitting can result complex system, making it difficult understand the potential cross-fishery substitution. this study, we construct network representation permit ownership characterize interconnectedness among Alaska commercial due...
Land protection efforts represent large societal investments and are critical to biodiversity conservation. involves a complex mosaic of areas managed by multiple organizations, using variety mechanisms achieve different levels protection. We develop an approach synthesize, describe, map this land diversity over spatial scales. use cluster analysis find distinct "communities" based on the organizations involved, strictness protection, used. also associate identified communities with...
Abstract Conversion of land for settlements and agriculture is increasing globally can influence wildlife space use. However, there limited research to identify the thresholds land‐use change that incur avoidance how these might vary across levels selection. We evaluated multi‐level elk Cervus canadensis impacted by residential development irrigated Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in Idaho, Montana Wyoming. Using GPS data from 765 21 herds, we estimated habitat selection relation at three...
The implementation of rights-based management programs is increasing worldwide yet there are few ex post evaluations, especially in developing country contexts. In this paper we examine changes following the a catch share system Peruvian anchovy fishery, which world's largest commercial fishery by volume. After Individual Vessel Quota (IVQ) system, observe shift toward higher-value products and 97% increase per-unit revenue from 2008 to 2013. We also find that landings more spread out over...
