“…For example, temporary exit was regularly contextualized with pluriactivity, as in the case of responses to EVOS wherein some fishing families took a hiatus from fishing and engaged in other employment associated with the cleanup effort, in an attempt to remain in their geographic communities while awaiting the restoration of local fisheries ( Picou et al, 2009 ). On the other hand, permanent exit from fisheries in response to other changing conditions (especially LAPPs) seemed often associated with concurrent geographic exit, as documented by researchers ( Carothers, 2010 ; Donkersloot and Carothers, 2017 ; Ringer et al, 2018 ). This may reflect how identities and sense of place may be intrinsically linked to the fishing occupation for some Alaska communities, so that ceasing to participate in fisheries would imply the loss of a connection to the place itself and thus potentially necessitate geographic exit as well ( Carothers, 2010 ; Holen, 2014 ; Himes-Cornell and Hoelting, 2015 ).…”

“…Relative to other changing conditions, the effects of LAPPs on altering and limiting succession in Alaska fisheries are perhaps the most well documented amongst the changes impacting entry and exit in Alaska fisheries ( Carothers 2010 , 2013 ; Donkersloot and Carothers, 2017 ; Ringer et al, 2018 ). With permits and harvest privileges that have generally appreciated in value concurrent with losses in crew employment, coupled with delayed retirement due to increased safety and leasing of privileges, LAPPs have limited diversification opportunities and inhibited or altered entry for new participants around the world ( Power, 2012 ; Neis and Power, 2013 ; van Ginkel, 2014 ; Szymkowiak and Himes-Cornell, 2015 ; White, 2015 ).…”

Over the last three decades, fishing families in the Gulf of Alaska have adapted to numerous multifaceted conditions in response to near constant flux in stocks, markets, governance regimes, and broader sociocultural and environmental changes. Based on an analysis of seven focus groups held across Gulf of Alaska fishing communities, this study explores the variety of strategies that families across the Gulf have employed to adapt to changing conditions from the 1980s to the present day. Furthermore, the study examines how those strategies have evolved over time to accommodate cumulative effects and synergisms. While families continue to employ long-standing adaptation strategies of fisheries portfolio diversification and increasing effort, they are also integrating new adaptations into their framework as changing management systems, demographics, and technologies shift how choices about adaptations are made. This study also demonstrates how adaptations have implicit intra- and inter-personal well-being tradeoffs within families that, while potentially allowing for sustained livelihoods, may undermine other values that individuals and families derive from fishing.

“…Studies in Maine and the U.S. have similarly found increasing dependence on lobster, and a general trend toward decreasing diversity in access to fisheries (Donkersloot andCarothers 2017, Stoll et al 2017). In Barrington, however, some relatively younger harvesters have maintained access to at least one, and as many as three additional fisheries.…”

Recommendations for full-spectrum sustainability in Canadian lobster integrated management plans based on a socioeconomic analysis of Barrington, Nova Scotia

Fisheries and Oceans Canada has developed integrated fisheries management plans to promote a more holistic approach to fisheries management. Yet these management plans maintain an emphasis on the ecological domains, without sufficient attention to socioeconomic and institutional domains of management. In this study, I use a case study from Barrington, Nova Scotia, and dimensions from the Canadian Fisheries Research Network Comprehensive Sustainability Framework to demonstrate the importance of socioeconomic and institutional indicators to contribute to fisheries management plans. An analysis of survey data of captains and lobster fishing households revealed decreased access to multiple species fishing strategies, partially because of large inequities in access to individual fishing quotas. Harvesters with a high dependence on lobster as the primary source of income had lower incomes, and higher income sensitivity to the financial crisis of 2008. New strategies have emerged to cope with reduced access to multiple species, and high-yield lobster fishing is often the best available strategy to pay bills and meet costs when lobster prices are low. Outcomes for the region were split, with an equal number of harvesters reporting recent years as the best or worst year they experienced in fishing. Given a history of changing regulations and reduced options to remain flexible when economic and ecological conditions change, harvesters were pessimistic about their future access, and their children's future access, to fisheries. Harvesters faced livelihood challenges caused by cumulative effects of multiple regulatory and ecological events. I demonstrate how the Canadian Fisheries Research Network Comprehensive Sustainability Framework can guide researchers, managers, and fishing organizations to understand the current management objectives that are not being met, and to develop research priorities, methods, protocols, and personnel to meet a broader spectrum of objectives.

“…Stakeholder involvement in FEP planning is key to success in the planning process so that they help develop and support the management measures used to enforce their fishery (Donkersloot and Carothers 2017). While stakeholder involvement is often considered expensive (FAO 2003;Tallis et al 2010), involving stakeholders either directly or indirectly is likely far cheaper than conducting fisheries stock monitoring (Scyphers et al 2019).…”

Structured, systematic processes for decision-making can facilitate implementation of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM). In US fisheries management, existing fishery ecosystem plans (FEPs) are primarily descriptive documents — not action-oriented planning processes. “Next-generation” FEPs extend existing FEPs by translating ecosystem principles into action through a structured process, including identifying and prioritizing objectives and evaluating trade-offs while assessing alternative management strategies for meeting objectives. We illustrate the potential for implementing a structured decision-making process for EBFM by reviewing fisheries management case studies through the lens of the next-generation FEP process, highlighting two perspectives. First, across case studies almost all steps occur, many occurring in multiple regions, indicating scientific and fisheries management capacity exists to conduct structured process components. Second, adjustments would be needed to transition to next-generation FEPs, as existing activity is rarely conducted within a fully structured, integrated process and examples of certain steps are scarce, but existing examples can guide future management. Implementing ongoing activity within next-generation FEPs would likely streamline fisheries management activity, saving time and resources while improving outcomes for stakeholders and ecosystems.
