Report 2016-104. 32 pp.; 18 fig.; 1 tab.; 5 ref. This study examines the economic consequences of the transition from beam trawl fisheries to pulse fisheries. It focuses on the economic results, fishing effort, fuel consumption, price of sole quotas and catch-based pay levels. It also examines the extent to which there has been a geographical displacement in fishing areas since the introduction of pulse technique.
This report provides an insight into the cost of degradation of the marine environment of the Dutch part of the North Sea by calculating the annual current (2015) costs of measures that avoid or minimise degradation. In addition to this, insight is provided into the potential applicability of the ecosystem services approach to calculate ecosystem benefits gained when Good Environmental Status is reached, in comparison to a Business as Usual scenario. The total costs of measures that avoid degradation of the Dutch North Sea environment have been calculated to be at least €0.5bn per year, with a maximum estimate of €1.6bn per year. In terms of the applicability of the ecosystem services approach concept, it is concluded that the methodology and empirical application are not mature enough yet to be applied within the context of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.

This is done by calculating the annual current (2015) costs of measures that avoid (reduce or minimise) degradation. In addition to this, insight is provided into the potential applicability of the ecosystem services approach methodology to calculate ecosystem benefits gained when GoodEnvironmental Status is reached, in comparison to a Business as Usual scenario. S.1 Annual costs of measures that avoid degradationGiven the assumptions used the total costs of measures that avoid degradation of the Dutch North Sea environment (and which contribute to reaching Good Environmental Status) have been calculated to be at least €0.5bn per year, with a maximum estimate of €1.6bn per year (Table S.1).
