“…One of the main reasons for this discrepancy lies in the political nature of fisheries management, where governance systems are typically highly convoluted (Wilen 2000;Mikalsen and Jentoft 2008;Aanesen and Armstrong 2016). In particular, it is common that science and policy are closely intertwined (Kvamsdal et al 2016).…”

Many real world fisheries have an individual vessel quota system with restrictions on transferability of quota or entrance of new vessels into the fishery. While the standard economic reasoning is that these institutional constraints lead to welfare losses, the size of those losses and optimal second-best policies are usually unknown. We develop a dynamic bioeconomic model, in which a scientific body provides an optimal TAC given restrictions on (i) transferability between vessel segments and (ii) entrance of new vessels. Further, we also quantify welfare losses arising from not maximizing economic welfare, but physical yield-which is actually the case in many fisheries. We apply the model to the Northeast Arctic cod fishery, and estimate not only the cost and harvesting functions of the various vessel types, but also the parameters of the biological model as well as those of the demand function. This allows us to determine optimal second-best policies and quantify corresponding welfare effects for our case study fishery.

“…They are designed for the participation and involvement of all key stakeholders in the particular area, focussing on cooperation and networking among groups, as well as on sharing and transferring knowledge and experience. The FLAGs can, therefore, be seen as new organisations for empowering local stakeholders for fisheries co-management beyond merely users and managers, thus reacting to a deficit criticised in comanagement research (Mikalsen and Jentoft, 2008; see Section 2.2). Furthermore, Jentoft refers to this conditional role of empowerment and community-building for fisheries comanagement, arguing, "co-management entails more than institutional design and participatory democracy.…”

“…In fisheries policy making, the importance of involving stakeholders in policy processes has been increasingly understood during the 2000s [110]. Participation is seen as a way both to create a socially robust knowledge base for management and to enhance trust towards decision-making processes [111][112][113].…”

A proactive approach for maritime safety policy making for the Gulf of Finland: Seeking best practices

et al. 2015

a b s t r a c tA rapid increase in maritime traffic together with challenging navigation conditions and a vulnerable ecosystem has evoked calls for improving maritime safety in the Gulf of Finland, the Baltic Sea. It is suggested that these improvements will be the result of adopting a regionally effective proactive approach to safety policy formulation and management. A proactive approach is grounded on a formal process of identifying, assessing and evaluating accident risks, and adjusting policies or management practices before accidents happen. Currently, maritime safety is globally regulated by internationally agreed prescriptive rules, which are usually revised in reaction to accidents. The proactive Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) is applied to risks common to a ship type or to a particular hazard, when deemed necessary, whereas regional FSA applications are rare. An extensive literature review was conducted in order to examine the opportunities for developing a framework for the GoF for handling regional risks at regional level. Best practices were sought from nuclear safety management and fisheries management, and from a particular case related to maritime risk management. A regional approach that sees maritime safety as a holistic system, and manages it by combining a scientific risk assessment with stakeholder input to identify risks and risk control options, and to evaluate risks is proposed. A regional risk governance framework can improve safety by focusing on actual regional risks, designing tailor-made safety measures to control them, enhancing a positive safety culture in the shipping industry, and by increasing trust among all involved.
