“…The second assumption challenged by this study is that governments provide subsidies to alleviate poverty and marginality (Smith 1979, Pauly 1997, Squires et al 1998 Grynberg 2003, Salas et al 2007). Here, no relationship was found between poverty and where subsidies were invested.…”

“…Another approach, sometimes in unison with the former, but often not, has been to subsidize small-scale fisheries (Squires et al 1998, Allison and Ellis 2001, Kaczynski and Fluharty 2002, Abdallah and Sumaila 2007. A subsidy is broadly defined as a government transfer by which a benefit is conferred (Grynberg 2003, Schrank 2003 and, in addition to direct monetary transfers, may be in the form of research and education. The desired outcomes of this subsidization are generally twofold: to alleviate However, many analysts argue that subsidies too often lead to fleet modernization, increased catches, resource depletion, and ultimately decreased sustainability (Milazzo 1998, Pauly et al 2002, Khan et al 2006, OECD 2006, Jacquet and Pauly 2008.…”

ABSTRACT. Small-scale fisheries, which are often associated with low levels of income and poor infrastructure, receive substantial funding from governmental institutions worldwide. Very few empirical studies have explored the outcomes of these investments for people and ecosystems. This paper presents the findings of a study aimed at assessing the social and ecological outcomes of government subsidies for small-scale fisheries through an analysis of 32 fishing villages, referred to as caletas, in Chile over a 12-year period. Findings suggest that the funding appears to be higher for those caletas with the highest value landings and is unrelated to socioeconomic need or poverty; that caletas in rural areas receive less investment than their urban counterparts; that funding did not lead to a positive improvement in either the landings or income for fishers; and, finally, that funding appears to be a consequence of, rather than a reason for, the ecological and productive history of fisheries. These findings challenge two assumptions informing the debate about subsidization in small-scale fisheries: first, that subsidization will lead to over-exploitation, and second, that subsidies are supplied to alleviate poverty.

“…This effectively represents a subsidy benefiting EU fishing and processing industry interests, at the expense of EU taxpayers. The Malagasy people is also harmed, given that the factory is foreign-owned, and its revenues are not likely to remain in Madagascar [43,44]. This lack of actual domestic economic contribution is likely the norm for EU-owned processing establishments located in developing countries.…”

This chapter examines how the EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) has historically affected fisheries in West Africa, and how recently enacted reforms to the CFP may alter or perpetuate trends in this relationship. The CFP's historical impacts on West African states are explored through its various policy tools, as well as how CFP changes might affect relations between these countries and the EU, with implications for their wider economies.
