Fisheries Economics & Policy: Intro to Fisheries Management

Fisheries Economics & Policy: Intro to Fisheries Management

This video is a part of Conservation Strategy Fund’s collection of environmental economic lessons and was made possible thanks to the support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Marcia Brady Tucker Foundation. This series is for individuals who want to learn – or review – the basic economics of conservation. The first of our Fisheries Economics & Policy series, this video introduces the concept of how a population of fish can be managed sustainably. The series will cover management strategies to preserve fishing in the long term and will include concepts such as open access, common pool resources, tragedy of the commons, maximum economic yield, taxes and subsidies, reducing effort, territorial use rights, transferable quotas and externalities.

    "open access" is the name of the West coast small boat fleet. I am a West coast open access fisherman and it is far from unregulated… They literally give us 400lbs every 2 months of the main catch. That’s not even enough to pay for much considering the fish are 90cents to $3.50 a lb. It is over regulated but the big commercial ships just pay enough $ to basically do whatever including taking "no take species" (protected fish). they are not open access fisherman, so this clip can be a bit confused in the wording.
