“…Rapid emissions reduction may, therefore, require policy intervention. A frequently cited candidate is the removal of distortionary fuel subsidies and tax concessions (Sumaila et al, 2010), which reduce the effective cost of oil to vessel operators to support the fishing industry. Such policies are not found in Iceland but are prevalent throughout the rest of the Nordic region (Martini, 2012) and can lead to substitution of oil for other inputs, as well as weaker incentives to invest in improved fuel efficiency.…”

The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974. Its primary mandate was -and is -two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 29 member countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports. The Agency's aims include the following objectives: n Secure member countries' access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular, through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions. n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection in a global context -particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute to climate change. n Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis of energy data.n Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure future energy supplies and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energy efficiency and development and deployment of low-carbon technologies. n Find solutions to global energy challenges through engagement and dialogue with non-member countries, industry, international organisations and other stakeholders. The European Commission also participates in the work of the IEA. IEA member countries:Please note that this publication is subject to specific restrictions that limit its use and distribution.

“…The FAO Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries [11] is also an attempt to associate fisheries policies and the management of small-scale fisheries, supporting food security and addressing poverty. Sumaila et al [12] addressed beneficial subsidies associated with investment in the natural capital of fisheries by reporting community development programs in rural fisheries, involving local communities/ livelihoods integrated into policy demands. Defeo et al [13] addressed the importance of the social-ecological systems of small-scale fisheries considering the effects of climate change, markets and governance: for example, they concluded that weak governance, market globalization, fishing pressure and climate change contributed to resource depletion in shellfisheries of Latin America.…”

“…To be fair this is true of both proponents of ITQ fisheries and community-managed fisheries, both of which favour current resource users over the general public. This is a dubious position to take in many real world fisheries where the existing users have typically been the recipients of decades of massive subsidies and state granted monopolies [18]. It also takes for granted the existence of some redistribution systems (income taxes are usually put forward as solving the problem), while ignoring the fact that most fisheries benefit from special tax treatment and tax exemptions (subsidies) that prevent this redistribution.…”

The Tragedy of the “Tragedy of the Commons”: Why Coining Too Good a Phrase Can Be Dangerous

A deep reading of Hardin (1968) reveals that he had a lot more to say about the use and regulation of resources such as fisheries than he is given credit for in the literature. It appears that he is typically cited just so that authors can use the phrase "tragedy of the commons" to invoke the specter of looming catastrophe and then tie that to whatever solution they have proposed. We argue in this contribution that there is a lot more in Hardin's essay that either contradicts or greatly complicates the arguments he is cited as an authority for.
