The new issue of The Electronic Journal of Sustainable Development is online at www.ejsd.org.
In this issue, “Sustaining the Seas”:
Measuring the biological sustainability of marine fisheries: property rights, politics, and science: Michael de Alessi shows that there is currently no adequate measurement for biological performance in fisheries. His paper addresses the impact of scientific uncertainty on fisheries management both typically and in New Zealand, critiques current methods for measuring biological sustainability, and proposes measuring the likelihood of sustainability based on the quality of the harvest model.
Sustainability of Fisheries: Rögnvaldur Hannesson shows that stock levels may be affected both by environmental factors, such as the warmth of the oceans, and by catch levels. By considering various instances of fisheries collapse, he provides insights into the factors necessary for creating sustainable fisheries.
The historical development of fisheries in New Zealand with respect to sustainable development principles: Mark T. Gibbs reviews the development history of New Zealand’s fisheries and addresses the question whether an ITQ (individual transferable quota) scheme is a necessary or sufficient condition to achieving sustainable regional fisheries.
Iceland’s ITQ system creates new wealth: Ragnar Arnason analyses the impact of ITQs in Iceland’s fisheries since their introduction in the 1980s. These ITQs, which are freely traded in the market, have become highly valuable. There are indications that this new source of financial capital has induced economic growth in Iceland far beyond the fishery itself.
Books reviews by Wilfred Beckerman, Karol Boudreaux, Bill Durodié, Terence Kealey, Jeremy Rabkin, James M. Sheehan and Philip Stott.
