“…It is, however, important to keep in mind that our analysis did not consider highly migratory species and/or straddling stocks not subject to a management agreement, as commented below. In the EU, the lack of management objectives, enforcement, and stakeholder involvement in decision‐making have repeatedly been pointed out as a likely cause for poor stock recovery (Holden ; Sissenwine and Symes ; Cardinale and Svedang ; O'Leary et al . ; Da Rocha et al .…”

“…Thus, the question of how the different issues handled in this TS -combined with ecological theory -can act in a synergetic fashion to sensitize both the public and politicians in order to increase political willpower (see e.g. Cardinale & Svedäng 2008) for managing our oceans is highly relevant.…”

The objective of this Theme Section (TS) is to explore how economics, in conjunction with ecology and other disciplines (i.e. consilience), can be deployed to support the conservation of marine ecosystem biodiversity, function and services through time, for the benefit of both current and future generations. The TS also demonstrates the considerable progress made in the 60 yr following the pioneering works that practicably established the research discipline of fisheries economics. Eight papers explore various social and economic aspects of marine conservation, and address a variety of broad questions such as: (1) How can ecosystem service assessments be better used to inform policy? (2) How can ecosystem-based management principles be incorporated into governance? (3) Will trade in whaling quotas result in the conservation of whales? (4) How can spatial bioeconomics support effective management and conservation of marine ecosystems? (5) How can the welfare of coastal human populations and marine ecosystems be enhanced? (6) How much of the world's fish stocks are shared? (7) What are the values of the goods and services provided by ecosystems? (8) How large are the financial and ecological deficits (surpluses) of nations?

“…A significant part of that problem appears to be that the scientific advice, which aims to address the CFP objectives, has been routinely ignored due to a decision-making process that clearly has rather different objectives, short-term political expediency being prominent among them. Cardinale & Svedang (2008) argued that, despite the limitations of using a deterministic single stock modelling framework for assessment, managers and politicians have had the necessary scientific instruments for managing stocks and avoid stock collapses (and by implication for achieving increased economic and social sustainability), but they failed to deliver since they tried to minimize the short-term negative impact of policy on those who are most affected (i.e. the fishing industry).…”

Fishery discards and bycatch: solutions for an ecosystem approach to fisheries management?

et al. 2011

It has been widely acknowledged that fishery discard practices constitute a purposeless waste of valuable living resources, which plays an important role in the depletion of marine populations. Furthermore, discarding may have a number of adverse ecological impacts in marine ecosystems, provoking changes in the overall structure of trophic webs and habitats, which in turn could pose risks for the sustainability of current fisheries. The present review aims to describe the current state-of-the-art in discards research, with particular emphasis on the needs and challenges associated with the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) in European waters. We briefly review the international and European policy contexts of discarding, how discard data are collected and incorporated into stock assessments, selectivity in fishing and the main consequences of discarding for ecosystem dynamics. We then review implementation issues related to reducing discards under the EAFM and the associated scientific challenges, and conclude with some comments on lessons learned and future directions.
