Showing papers in "Marine Policy in 1999"

TL;DR: It is concluded that buyback programs are generally not an effective way to address the problems they are meant to solve.

TL;DR: In this article, New Zealand's quota management system is analysed using a simple analytical economic model and the authors describe how the system has evolved in response to pressures since its implementation, and conclude with a discussion of contemporary challenges.

TL;DR: Game theory is a formal tool for analysing strategic interaction between a finite number of agents as mentioned in this paper, which has led to an explosion in the use of game theory and applications thereof to analyse fishery management problems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a monitoring and mapping protocol for sustainable port development, which can play a crucial role in verifying implementation of port policy and evaluating the effectiveness of the management option.

TL;DR: In this article, the potentials of co-management as an alternative fisheries management strategy for the countries in the CARICOM region are examined, and it is found that there will need to be capacity-building and institutional strengthening of fisheries departments, fishers and NGOs to participate in comanagement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review experiences with voluntary and statutory marine nature reserves in Britain and consider what lessons can be applied to the designation of 39 marine special areas of conservation that are currently being pursued under the Habitats Directive.

TL;DR: In South Africa, political emancipation has resulted in a new fisheries policy which is embodied in the Marine Living Resources Act of 1998 as mentioned in this paper, and the pillars of the new policy are sustainability, equity and stability within the industry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the findings of a study into fatalities among seafarers serving on board merchant vessels worldwide, and used statistics obtained from official maritime authorities to provide a comparison of mortality rates among seafars in 19 different national fleets, and to estimate the number of seafaring lives lost at sea worldwide.

TL;DR: In this article, the suitability of the value of enjoyment elicitation method for evaluating the recreational benefits of coastal protection at an important UK seaside resort is discussed, and the need to test the validity of the results from all such studies that apply this approach.

TL;DR: In this article, a study on property rights in the Danish, Dutch and UK fishery was carried out and the authors investigated whether private rights are indeed becoming more important in EU fisheries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the aims and objectives behind the development of the non-statutory shoreline management process in England and Wales are examined as well as their perceived benefits and shortcomings encountered by those in both policy and practice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the regime of innocent passage in international law through the analysis of relevant treaty rules, including recent developments at IMO, and state practice, focusing on passage by warships and to coastal state jurisdiction over pollution by vessels in general and over ships carrying hazardous cargoes in particular.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the factors which have influenced the evolution of the current administrative system and investigate the extent to which the current organisational arrangements provide a suitable framework within which integrated coastal management can develop.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the unique "gentlemen's agreements" that exist between the crab fishermen of South Devon and trawlermen from the UK and other EU member states.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider ways of ensuring adequate provision of reception facilities, and discuss the approach taken by the UK to reduce the amount of pollution entering the marine environment from the deliberate discharge of waste from ships.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the supply aspects and policy implications of that study, which was based on the results of a research project undertaken by the authors which was funded by the Department of Transport, the Chamber of Shipping and the Marine Society.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the implications of a shortfall in supply of seafarers to fill such jobs and the demand aspects of that study were discussed. But they did not consider the impact of seafaring skills loss beyond the shipping industry.

TL;DR: The authors examines and assesses the law and enforcement for the marine environmental protection in China and concludes that China is determined to strengthen the protection of the marine environment and conservation of marine living resources so as to realize the goal of sustainable use of oceans.

TL;DR: The application of environmental assessment (EA) to activities and developments in the British marine sector, with particular regard to their project characteristics, geography and identified issues, is discussed in this article. But, although there is a significant increase in the amount of EA research and practice occurring around the world, especially in Canada, the Netherlands and Australia, this paper only examines the application of EA within the geographical boundaries of Great Britain

TL;DR: In the longer run, ad valorem royalties should be considered as a mean of capturing resource rents as discussed by the authors, and the capability for management of the industrial fisheries, necessary to maximise long term public benefits, would be enhanced by full cost recovery through a user pays policy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the statutory measures developed to deal with coastal erosion and flooding in England and Wales and concluded that while statutory approaches will continue to be important in coastal defence issues non-statutory approaches, underpinned by the statutory system, will develop in importance and predominate as the preferred methods of response.

TL;DR: In this paper, the origins and organization of New Bedford financial settlement houses are examined and economic, political and social factors leading to the development of formal settlement houses in New Bedford are traced and the contemporary organization and responsibilities of settlement houses is investigated.

TL;DR: The European Council has decided to act unilaterally by introducing measures that will put into effect a state aid regime which is consistent with the main provisions of the OECD Shipbuilding Agreement and which places the shipbuilding industry on the same footing as other industries within the European Union as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed theoretical concepts for the understanding of local capitalism and used these concepts in an empirical analysis of local capitalists in Norwegian fish farming, where new modes of organization are developed by firms in these two local areas during the 1990s in order to increase their efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the complexity of issues nested within Regulation I/7 of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (1978).

TL;DR: In this article, the development pattern of the maritime knowledge industry is discussed and an evaluation of the nature of the knowledge industry as it currently exists with reference to learning, courses, teaching, research, institutions, and the advent of information technology.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the state of environmental management of tanker traffic in the UK by putting the geography of shipping into its environmental context and present a risk assessment which also considers coastal sensitivity.

TL;DR: This paper found that bycatch policy development catalysed by NGO action is less likely to achieve a consensus resolution than policy driven by science, whereas environmental NGOs were instrumental in action to protect dolphins from driftnet fishing.

TL;DR: In this article, the historical geography of sea uses is outlined as a sequence of stages of developent, and the resulting geographical patterns are discussed in terms of the major sea use groups involved, including reference to urban and rural sea use categories.
