Fishery Management: RBM and Fishery Subsidy

Over fishing around the globe has lead to a dire need in effective fishery management as it has led to fisheries depleting worldwide. Seafood is one of the more popular delicacies around the world and is also the source of income for millions of fishers globally. Lack of and poor fishery management has led to an exhaust of the fish stock in the ocean, which in turn has had a negative impact on biodiversity. Poor management has also been a factor economically as it leads to a loss of about $50 billion annually for fisheries around the world. If proper steps are taken the problem can be managed, Fishery Solutions Center believes that if management is improved then abundance of fish can increase by …show more content…

Within both quota and area-based programs there are six effective management systems: Individual Quota (IQ), Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ), Individual Vessel Quota (IVQ), Cooperative, Community Fishing Quota (CFQ), and TURF (EDF, 2015b). IQ, and ITQ are based on individual fishermen or entities and allocate a share to them of the total allowable catch (EDF, 2015d). ITQs were first proposed by Christy (1973) (Frank Asche and Martin D. Smith, 2010, p. 17): ITQ and IQ are very popular types of RBM and account for more than 80% of RBM program used throughout the world as they increase individual accountability and promote flexibility, efficiency, and profitability (EDF, 2015d).

RBM overall becoming a more common form of fishery management as it directly relates to improving the biodiversity and conservation of fish in the water. There are both reviews and studies conducted on fisheries that employ RBM to see the positive impact it has had. A review, Fish and Fisheries, concluded that the fisheries that have adopted rights-based management have a lower case of fish overexploitation. It has also led to improving fishing business, livelihoods and fishing communities. (EDF, …show more content…

However, as exploitation of the water increases limited or closed access is implemented and if exploitation still continues then this can lead to a closure of the water to fishing (EDF, 2015b). To avoid such exploitation RBM has become a popular choice worldwide to prevent exploitation. Governments and communities both see it as an effective tool to benefit the environment while keeping in mind fishermen’s economic interest. In most cases government is involved in RBM therefore RBM can be termed as a form of subsidy. If we were to recall the definition of fishery subsidy set forth by FAO it states “Fisheries subsidies are government actions or inactions that are specific to the fisheries industry and that modifies - by increasing or decreasing - the potential profits by the industry in the short-, medium- or long-term. (FAO, 2002).” Hence, we can note that RBM is a step taken by government to modify fisheries and therefore it can be termed as a form of

A long way gone is a memoir about a young boy named Ishmael Beah whose village was overturned by refugees and had to experience the civil war first hand. A statement that caught my attention on an opininair was “Children have the right to a carefree childhood”. This statement is true because growing up in the United States, most children have fairly common childhoods, school, sports, maybe work but nothing to major. Beah and his friends went through many obstacles to try and avoid the refugees without any lessons or training on how to do so alone. They overcame things that many adults aren’t physically or mentally prepared for.

Introduction In 1867, the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) was created to regulate and control lobster fishing by issuing licenses, creating fishing seasons, documenting quota, regulating how many people could fish lobster, and how many fish could be brought ashore (Campbell, 2017). A hundred and fifty years later, DFO is still in the position to manage the Prince Edward Island lobster fishing industry. This is not the beginning of the story and this paper will discuss the people who fished off PEI before DFO was created; scientific information needed to know before fishers can catch lobster; the evolutionary technological changes in the lobster fishing industry. The purpose of this paper is to share more information about

These regulations included a new regulatory regime that would increase the cost of the program from 5.7 million dollars to a hefty 8.5 million dollars which is a taxpayer increase of 40% (Pacific Aquaculture Regulations).

As per the context of the case study, we have come up with three possible actions that can be taken in order to meet the excess inventory problem are geographical expansion and increasing the market size by covering the untapped market in South and Central parts of America or making an internal agreement with a small manufacturing company that imports raw fishes and produces fish allied products such as fish oil, fish sauce, etc. Else we can launch a ‘Limited Edition Product’ by increasing the quantity per package at the existing price and providing exciting offers.
