Problems in ocean resource management derive from governance, not science. Ocean zoning would replace mismatched and fragmented approaches with integrated regulatory domains.
Abstract: Unsustainable fishing simplifies food chains and, as with aquaculture, can result in reliance on a few economically valuable species. This lack of diversity may increase risks ecological and economic disruptions. Centuries intense have extirpated most apex predators the Gulf Maine (United States Canada), effectively creating an American lobster (Homarus americanus) monoculture. Over past 20 years, marine resources harvested has declined by almost 70%. Today, over 80% value Maine's...
Pressures being exerted on the ocean ecosystems through overfishing, pollution, and environmental climate change are increasing. Six core principles proposed to guide governance use of resources promote sustainability. Examples structures that embody these given.
This paper considers ocean fisheries as complex adaptive systems and addresses the question of how human institutions might be best matched to their structure function.Ocean ecosystems operate at multiple scales, but management tends aimed a single species considered broad scale.The argues that this mismatch ecological scale makes it difficult address fine-scale aspects ecosystems, leads fishing rights strategies tend erode underlying populations system itself.A successful transition...
In fisheries management—as in environmental governance more generally—regulatory arrangements that are thought to be helpful some contexts frequently become panaceas or, other words, simple formulaic policy prescriptions believed solve a given problem wide range of contexts, regardless their actual consequences. When this happens, management is likely fail, and negative side effects common. We focus on the case individual transferable quotas explore panacea mindset, set factors promote...
ABSTRACT Social learning is common among vertebrates, including fish. Learning from others reduces the risk and costs of adaptation. In some longer‐lived species, social can lead to formation persistent groups that pass learned adaptations one generation next (culture). Variations in are subject natural selection, leading a second, fast‐paced, fine‐scale evolutionary process complements genetics enables adaptation peculiarities local areas. Socially knowledge stored mainly minds older fish...
ABSTRACTS The current crisis in the world's fisheries indicates need for a different management method than that now used by Western scientists, which regulates quantity of fish taken. authors propose called parametric management, takes into account complex, chaotic nature offish stocks and emphasizes preserving regular biological processes life cycle controlling how people fish. Supporting data come from 28 folk societies, Maine lobster industry, authors' mathematical model stocks.
Collective action is more likely to occur and be effective when it consistent with the self-interest of affected individuals. The Maine lobster fishery an instructive example biological technological circumstances combining individual create conditions favorable collective action. model describes way social structure emerges from adaptive behavior competing fishers. Fishers compete in two ways: a scramble find lobsters first by directly interfering other fishers' ability compete, i.e.,...
The creation of marine reserves is often controversial. For decisionmakers, trying to find compromises, an understanding the timing, magnitude, and incidence costs a reserve critical. Understanding costs, in turn, requires consideration not just direct financial but also opportunity associated with reserves. We use discrete choice model commercial fishermen’s behavior examine both short-run long-run Our results can help policymakers recognize factors influencing responses proposals. More...
Relatively inaccurate and slow dissemination of market information location ownership factors cause trading to take place under conditions uncertainty small numbers. The inefficiencies inequities which might otherwise result in each individual transaction are mitigated by a pattern very personal, long-term, bilateral agreements. These agreements deal with the efficiency equity problems through system reciprocation over time. Nevertheless, collective effect agreements, certain common...
Abstract Aquaculture is currently the fastest expanding global animal food production sector and a key future contributor to security. An increase in security will be dependent upon development improvement of sustainable practices. A prioritization exercise was undertaken, focusing on knowledge needs underpin UK aquaculture (both domestic imported products) using ‘task force’ group 36 ‘practitioners’ 12 ‘research scientists’ who have an active interest aquaculture. long list 264 related...
Current theoretical models of the commons assert that common-pool resources can only be managed sustainably with clearly defined boundaries around both communities and they use. In these models, open access inevitably leads to a tragedy commons. However, in many open-access systems, use seems sustainable over long term (i.e., current resource does not threaten for future generations). Here, we outline conditions support property regimes. We conceptual framework complex adaptive systems...
Effective management strategies require an understanding of the spatial scale at which fauna use their habitat. Toward this end, we sampled small mammals in northern Sierra Nevada, California, over 2 years 18 livetrapping grids among 5 forest types. Forest types were defined by overstory tree composition, and 19 microhabitat variables measured all trap stations. type year explained 93% variation abundance North American deermice (Peromyscus maniculatus), whereas only 40% was year. Similarly,...
