Use of property rights in fisheries management FAO Fisheries technical paper Series, Vol. 404/1
Langue : Anglais
In the old days, when offshore stocks were large and fishing fleets were
small, there was no call for either private ownership or government
regulation. As the growing cities provided increasing markets for both
fresh and salted fish, more and larger vessels put to sea for longer
periods. By mid-19th century, ocean fishing activity had expanded to a
dangerous level and each year's fishing left the stock a little smaller
than the year before. In the last decades of the 20th century governments'
advice began to come not only from perturbed fishermen, but also from
scientists. Today, regulations based on biological theories can be found
everywhere. The FishRights99 Conference provided the perfect opportunity
to address a new challenge: use property rights to manage fisheries in
ways that are ecologically sustainable and ensure Fish for the Future. The
present volume includes the lectures presented during the two-day
Mini-course, grouped in two sections. The first section deals with the
concepts, theory and practice relating to the use of property rights in
fisheries management. Topics covered in the second part include management
infrastructure for rights-based fishing, legal planning for management of
fisheries using property rights, the administration of fisheries managed
by property rights, the administration of enforcement mechanisms for
rights-based fisheries management systems, and fisher participation in
rights-based fisheries management: the New Zealand experience. The second
major section of the present volume consists of the papers presented
during the three-day Core Conference. These papers covered the
perspectives of governments in introducing and administering such methods
of management and the political, conservation, social and economic
consequences, industry, and the wider community and other involved
stakeholders.
