“…The complex decision-making process that exists in the fisheries hierarchy (described as typically pluralistic [Sylvia 1992], and with an absence of structure [Bain 1987]) makes thorough problem definition and analysis considerably more difficult, especially when addressing the various interest groups in order to develop suitable fisheries policy. Moreover, not understanding the concepts of goals, objectives, and values in the fisheries management process leads to broadly defined goals without substantial justification (Barber and Taylor 1990).…”

Management of public resources, such as fisheries, is a complex task. Society, in general, has a number of goals that it hopes to achieve from the use of public resources. These include conservation, economic, and social objectives. However, these objectives often conflict, due to the varying opinions of the many stakeholders. It would appear that the techniques available in the field of multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) are well suited to the analysis and determination of fisheries management regimes. However, to date, relatively few publications exist using such MCDM methods compared to other applicational fields, such as forestry, agriculture, and finance. This paper reviews MCDM applied to fishery management by providing an overview of the research published to date. Conclusions are drawn regarding the success and applicability of these techniques to analyzing fisheries management problems.

“…During the past four years I have observed the fishery management process and its associated politics. By its nature U.S. fisheries is highly politicaldecisions are not determined solely by an elite group of scientific managers but result from a pluralistic policy processa process generally in accord with the legislative intentions of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Sylvia 1992) .…”

“…Even if analyzed by competent economists, a "snapshot" look of "Net Economic Values", where information about the fishery is sparse and property rights for the resource non-existent, may be misleading. Different groups may seek to derive different types of benefits from the fishery (Sylvia 1992) . Differences in behavior and values can ultimately affect the market value of the resource and how it would be allocated.…”

Center for Marine Conservation, David Allison, fisheries conservation director 186 I thank you once again for holding this hearing and allowing me the chance to convey the concerns of my friends and neighbors, and I respectfully will defer questions to the experts who will testify before you this morning. Once again, I thank you. I apologize to you and the rest of the folks here today for not being able to stay due to our own legislative session, but I appreciate the time that you have given me this morning. Thank you. [Ms. Rijken's statement, with attachments, may be found in the appendix.] Chairman Wyden. Ms. Rijken, thank you for an excellent statement. It's very helpful. I know your time is short, so let me recognize my colleague if he'd like to ask any question of you, and we can excuse you. Ms. Rijken. Thank you. Mr. KoPETSKi. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have no questions. I know that Representative Rijken has to get back to Salem to the State House. Ms. Rijken. Thank you again, and I think the key word that you brought up yourself this morning, Mr. Chair, was arbitrary, in regard to this decision. I think you'll probably hear that many more times this morning. I hope that you can do something to help this growing industry and get it back on track. Chairman Wyden. Thank you, and we'll excuse you. Drive safely. Ms. Rijken. Thank you. Chairman Wyden. Mr. Andrews, welcome. TESTIMONY OF BRUCE ANDREWS, DIRECTOR, OREGON DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Mr. Andrews. Welcome and thank you. I very much appreciate your opening statements and the help of both of your staffs with our department on this issue. Before I proceed, I'd like to enter into the record a letter from Governor Roberts, who supports this industry and its efforts to seek a fair and equitable solution to this long-term development strategy that's really important to Oregon's coastal economy. Chairman Wyden. Without objection, we will enter that record at this point, and the Governor has spoken to our delegation, to many of us, on this issue, and she feels very, very strongly about it and is very committed to some new approaches, and we appreciate her leadership. [The letter may be found in the appendix.] Mr. Andrews. I would ask that you at some point read the enclosed testimony, and I will just make a few brief points so that you can get on with those who are more affected by it. rect? Mr. Andrews. Well, not only that, but if you look at the myriad of jobs, not only from the fishing fleet, but of the factories or the processors or the suppliers to those, the secondary, the transportation that moves the product in there, these are Oregonian jobs that we're talking about and who all pay local property taxes, who pay income tax, who pay State income tax, and Federal income tax. So, it ripples throughout the entire community, not only from the coast but inland as well. Mr. Kopetski. Thank you. Thank you for your testimony. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Chairman Wyden. Bruce, just one question, and I think you heard me characterize the process as arbitrary, it struc...
