I By Andy Wood reasoned that the fishery would be quieter, but completely overlooked the travel implications. From a journey perspective it was, of course, anything but quiet on a workday morning. There was some sort of issue on the M27 that reduced traffic to a crawl, increasing the journey time to almost two and a half hours. However, on arriving at the fishery and seeing the river for the first time, that all became a distant memory. Despite the recent wet weather, the river was running crystal clear and the sun was shining, with virtually no wind. Probably less than perfect conditions for fishing, but one of those days when it’s simply sufficient to be out there and taking it all in. After a challenging drive up river – it felt like I was in it at times - where I got to I’ve wanted to fish the Lower Itchen for a while wondering whether my breakdown cover would because I love chalk streams.

  • Rights-Based Management in International Tuna Fisheries
    FAO ISSN 2070-7010 FISHERIES AND 571 AQUACULTURE TECHNICAL PAPER 571 Rights-based management in international tuna fisheries Rights-based management in international tuna fisheries This technical paper discusses rights-based management of international tuna fisheries that directly addresses the incomplete or absent property rights underlying the incentives for overfishing, overcapacity, and failure to capture the full social and economic benefits that are possible. Rights that are secure, exclusive and extend into the future can be defined over shares of total allowable catch or effort or by units of capacity, but catch shares provide the strongest and most effective right. Rights-based management creates positive incentives that end the race to fish and creates conditions for matching capacity with fishing opportunities and sustainable catches, economic efficiency, full benefits, and wealth. Transferable rights provide a means of accommodating new members and increasing fishing by small island and coastal developing States.

  • A Quantitative Assessment of Recreational Fisher Compliance in Rockfish Conservation Areas
    Conservation and compliance: A quantitative assessment of recreational fisher compliance in Rockfish Conservation Areas by Darienne Lancaster BAH, Queen’s University, 2013 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the School of Environmental Studies © Darienne Lancaster, 2015 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Conservation and compliance: A quantitative assessment of recreational fisher compliance in Rockfish Conservation Areas by Darienne Lancaster BAH, Queen’s University, 2013 Supervisory Committee Dr. Natalie Ban, School of Environmental Studies Supervisor Dr. Philip Dearden, Department of Geography Outside Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Natalie Ban, School of Environmental Studies Supervisor Dr. Philip Dearden, Department of Geography Outside Member Concerns about declines in marine biodiversity led to the creation of marine protected areas and spatial fishery closures as tools for recovery. Yet many marine conservation areas suffer low levels of compliance from diverse fishing populations, including recreational fishers. Little research quantifies levels of recreational fisher compliance and its drivers, especially in temperate marine environments, despite the prevalence of this kind of fishing in some regions. This thesis addresses this knowledge gap through a study of recreational fisher compliance in Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCAs) in British Columbia, Canada. One hundred and sixty four RCAs were implemented between 2003 and 2007 and now cover 4847.2 km2. These conservation areas were created in response to widespread concern from fishers and non-governmental organizations about inshore rockfish population declines.
