It addresses three overarching questions: (1) What contributions do capture fisheries make to food and nutrition security? (2) What is the current policy dialogue regarding the links between capture fisheries and food and nutrition security? (3) What data are available to inform research and policy development to support the contributions of capture fisheries to food and nutrition security? The report addresses these questions with the aim of situating dialogue squarely within the science-policy interface. The overall goal is to provide a foundation of knowledge to inform the trajectory of research, policy, and practice that supports the role of capture fisheries in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) to end poverty (SDG1) and hunger (SDG2). Scope Both capture fisheries and aquaculture are important food production systems that can make complementary contributions to food and nutrition security. The primary focus of this report is on fisheries, which provide diverse forms of nutrition to a wide range of people and which face significant threats. This focus addresses SDG14 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: to “conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development” as the “increasingly adverse impacts of climate change (including ocean acidification), overfishing and marine pollution are jeopardizing recent gains in protecting portions of the world’s oceans” (UN 2015b; 2017, 15). Just as importantly, the emphasis on capture fisheries acknowledges the unique threats to inland fisheries, including invasive species, pollution from agricultural runoff, and competition with other freshwater uses such as hydropower, irrigation, and aquaculture (Youn et al. 2014). However, fully removing aquaculture from discussions of capture fisheries is impossible. First, aquaculture influences the dynamics of capture fisheries in multiple ways. Second, some key data and research do not differentiate between farmed and captured fish. Finally, despite the guidance provided by the definitions included in the glossary of this report, the distinction between aquaculture Graphic credit: Micaela Unda | 4 and capture fisheries is not always clear. For example, culture-based fisheries release hatchery-reared animals into the wild and aquaculture-based capture grows

  • SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES and RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE: a Guide for USAID Staff and Partners
    SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES AND RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE: A Guide for USAID Staff and Partners June 2013 ABOUT THIS GUIDE GOAL This guide provides basic information on how to design programs to reform capture fisheries (also referred to as “wild” fisheries) and aquaculture sectors to ensure sound and effective development, environmental sustainability, economic profitability, and social responsibility. To achieve these objectives, this document focuses on ways to reduce the threats to biodiversity and ecosystem productivity through improved governance and more integrated planning and management practices. In the face of food insecurity, global climate change, and increasing population pressures, it is imperative that development programs help to maintain ecosystem resilience and the multiple goods and services that ecosystems provide. Conserving biodiversity and ecosystem functions are central to maintaining ecosystem integrity, health, and productivity. The intent of the guide is not to suggest that fisheries and aquaculture are interchangeable: these sectors are unique although linked. The world cannot afford to neglect global fisheries and expect aquaculture to fill that void. Global food security will not be achievable without reversing the decline of fisheries, restoring fisheries productivity, and moving towards more environmentally friendly and responsible aquaculture. There is a need for reform in both fisheries and aquaculture to reduce their environmental and social impacts. USAID’s experience has shown that well-designed programs can reform capture fisheries management, reducing threats to biodiversity while leading to increased productivity, incomes, and livelihoods. Agency programs have focused on an ecosystem-based approach to management in conjunction with improved governance, secure tenure and access to resources, and the application of modern management practices.

  • Economics and the Resumption of Commercial Whaling
    WORKSHOP IN POLITICAL THEORY AND POLICY ANALYSIS 613 NORTH PARK INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON, IN 47408-3695 U.SLA, Economics and the Resumption of Commercial Whaling by Jon Conrad and Trend BjomdaT The authors are Professors at Cornell University and the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, respectively. Economics and the Resumption of Commercial Whaling ,..,„.. , :vr<; *Yi ABSTRACT " X •"•,'/! .1;>'A7; • There is now strong scientific evidence that several species of baleen whale and possibly the sperm whale, have recovered to levels that would support commercial harvest. The stock of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) off the eastern coast of Iceland and the minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in the Northeast Atlantic, off the coast of Japan and in the Southern Ocean are prime candidates for commercial harvest. Should commercial whaling be resumed? If so, what role should economics play in determining the level of harvest and management policies? A bioeconomic model for baleen whales is developed and applied to the stock of minke whales in the Northeast Atlantic. A delay- difference equation is used to model the population dynamics and an exponential production function is estimated relating harvest, to population size and the number of catcher vessels. If whaling is resumed, the optimal stock size and harvest may critically depend on the price-cost ratio and catcher productivity. We identify plausible combinations of price, cost and productivity where whaling is not optimal and the minke whale population in the Northeast Atlantic equilibrates at about 82,000 adult animals. Under a high price-cost ratio and high catcher productivity, the optimal stock ranges from 51,000 to 59,000 whales supporting a harvest of 1,600 to 1,750 whales by 90 to 115 catchers.

  • Sustainable Food Systems Concept and Framework
    Sustainable food systems Concept and framework WHAT IS A SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM? Food systems (FS) encompass the entire range of actors and their interlinked value-adding activities involved in the production, aggregation, processing, distribution, consumption and disposal of food products that originate from agriculture, forestry or fisheries, and parts of the broader economic, societal and natural environments in which they are embedded. The food system is composed of sub-systems (e.g. farming system, waste management system, input supply system, etc.) and interacts with other key systems (e.g. energy system, trade system, health system, etc.). Therefore, a structural change in the food system might originate from a change in another system; for example, a policy promoting more biofuel in the energy system will have a significant impact on the food system. A sustainable food system (SFS) is a food system that delivers food security and nutrition for all in such a way that the economic, social and environmental bases to generate food security and nutrition for future generations are not compromised. This means that: – It is profitable throughout (economic sustainability); – It has broad-based benefits for society (social sustainability); and – It has a positive or neutral impact on the natural environment (environmental sustainability). A sustainable food system lies at the heart of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Adopted in 2015, the SDGs call for major transformations in agriculture and food systems in order to end hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition by 2030. To realize the SDGs, the global food system needs to be reshaped to be more productive, more inclusive of poor and marginalized populations, environmentally sustainable and resilient, and able to deliver healthy and nutritious diets to all.

  • Economic Incentives and Overfishing: a Bioeconomic Vulnerability Index
    Vol. 530: 223–232, 2015 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published June 18 doi: 10.3354/meps11135 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Contribution to the Theme Section ‘Economics of marine ecosystem conservation’ FREE ACCESS Economic incentives and overfishing: a bioeconomic vulnerability index William W. L. Cheung1,*, U. Rashid Sumaila2 1Changing Oceans Research Unit and 2Fisheries Economics Research Unit, University of British Columbia, 2202 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada ABSTRACT: Bioeconomic theory predicts that the trade-offs between maximization of economic benefits and conservation of vulnerable marine species can be assessed using the ratio between the discount rate of fishers and the intrinsic rate of growth of the exploited populations. In this paper, we use this theory to identify areas of the global ocean where higher vulnerability of fishes to overfishing would be expected in the absence of management. We derive an index to evaluate the level of vulnerability by comparing discount rates and fishes’ intrinsic population growth rates. Using published discount rates of countries that are reported to fish in the ocean and estimating the intrinsic population growth rate for major exploited fishes in the world, we calculate the vulnerability index for each 0.5° latitude × 0.5° longitude grid for each taxon and each fishing country. Our study shows that vulnerability is inherently high on the northeastern coast of Canada, the Pacific coast of Mexico, the Peruvian coast, in the South Pacific, on the southern and southeastern coast of Africa, and in the Antarctic region. It should be noted that this index does not account for the management regime currently in place in different areas, and thus mainly reflects the vulnerability resulting from the intrinsic life history characteristics of the fish species being targeted and the discount rates of the fishers exploiting them.

  • What Factors Account for State-To-State Differences in Food Security?
    What Factors Account for State-to-State Differences in Food Security? By Judi Bartfeld, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Rachel Dunifon, Cornell University, Mark Nord, Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Steven Carlson, Food and Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Economic Information Bulletin No. 20. Abstract States differ in the extent to which their residents are food secure— meaning that they have consistent access to enough food for active, healthy living. The prevalence of food security in a State depends not only on the characteristics of households in the State, such as their income, employment, and household structure, but also on State-level characteristics, such as average wages, cost of housing, levels of participation in food assistance programs, and tax policies. Taken together, an identified set of household-level and State-level factors account for most of the State-to-State differences in food security. Some State-level factors point to specific policies that are likely to improve food security, such as policies that increase the supply of affordable housing, promote the use of Federal food assistance programs, or reduce the total tax burden on low-income households. Keywords: Food security, food insecurity, hunger, very low food security, State predictors of food security 1800 M St, NW Washington, DC 20036 November 2006 1 EIB-20/What Factors Account for State-to-State Differences in Food Security? Introduction Food security, defined as access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life, is one of several conditions necessary for the Nation’s population to be healthy and well nourished.

Lawrence Piper www.TheAnglersMark.com [email protected] 904-557 -1027 Table of Contents Tackle and Angling Page 2 Fish and Fishing Page 5 Fishing Spots Page 13 Trailering and Boating Page 14 General Page 15 1 Amelia Island Back Country Light Tackle Fishing Tips Tackle and Angling 1) I tell my guests who want to learn to fish the back waters “learn your knots”! You don’t have to know a whole bunch but be confident in the ones you’re going to use and know how to tie them good and fast so you can bet back to fishing after you’ve broken off. 2) When fishing with soft plastics keep a tube of Super Glue handy in your tackle box. When you rig the grub on to your jig, place a drop of the glue below the head and then finish pushing the grub up. This will secure the grub better to the jig and help make it last longer. 3) Many anglers get excited when they hook up with big fish. When fishing light tackle, check your drag so that it’s not too tight and the line can pull out. When you hookup, the key is to just keep the pressure on the fish. If you feel any slack, REEL! When the fish is pulling away from you, use the rod and the rod tip action to tire the fish. Slowly work the fish in, lifting up, reeling down. Keep that pressure on! 4) Net a caught fish headfirst. Get the net down in the water and have the angler work the fish towards you and as it tires, bring the fish headfirst into the net.
