Regional analysis of the US groundfish fishery : implications of the extended fishery jurisdiction for the Pacific Northwest fisheryAdu-Asamoah, Richard 13 April 1987 (has links)
The Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976
took effect on March 1, 1977. By this Act the United
States extended its management over fisheries to 200
nautical miles from shore. Extended fishery jurisdiction
was expected to promote industry development and expand
the contribution of the fishing industry to the economies
of the coastal regions. Benefits to the Pacific Coast
groundfish industry have, however, been less than were expected
when the Act was passed.
A spatial equilibrium model was formulated for the
broader United States interregional/international groundfish
market. Two steps were involved: First, a system of
simultaneous econometric equations was estimated for each
of the three product forms—fresh and frozen cod, ocean
perch, and flounder fillets. Second, regionalized forms
of these equations were collapsed into simple equations
and combined with transportation and storage costs in a
larger mathematical programming model. The resulting
quadratic programming (QP) problem was then solved (for
each product) for the competitive equilibrium quantities
demanded and supplied, prices, and product movements.
Two objectives were achieved: A model was formulated
that accounts for most of the relevant factors influencing
the United States groundfish market; and the multiregional
nature of this market was established. The estimated
price and income elasticities were similar to
those suggested by earlier studies, and the estimated
product movements were consistent with survey data in the
Pacific Northwest.
The various policies evaluated in this study (using
the spatial equilibrium model) suggest mixed blessings to
the Pacific Coast groundfish industry. There is no
evidence to suggest that harvesting some average quantities
uniformly throughout the year would improve industry
revenues. In general, increasing Pacific Coast
landings by 30 percent (or more) would depress wholesale
revenues but substantially increase fleet revenues. On
the other hand, both wholesale and fleet revenues would
increase if at least 80 percent of the increase in landings
could be sold in markets outside the region. This
suggests that an industry policy aimed at expanding landings
on the Pacific Coast will improve revenues for all
industry participants only if access to outside markets
also takes place. / Graduation date: 1987

Increasing the Players: Expanding the Bilateral Relationship of Conflict ManagementStull, Emily A. 05 1900 (has links)
This research seeks to explore the behavior of international and regional organizations within conflict management. Previous research on conflict management primarily examines UN peacekeeping as the primary actor and lumps all non-UN actors into a single category. I disaggregate this category, examining how international and regional organizations interact when deciding to establish a peace mission, coordinate a peace mission with multiple organizations, and finally, how this interaction affects the success of peace missions. I propose a collective action theoretical framework in which organizations would rather another actor undertake the burden and costs of implementing a peace mission. I find the United Nations is motivated to overcome the collective action problem through an increase in the severity of the conflict. Regional organizations are motivated to establish a peace mission as the economic and political salience of the conflict increases, increasing the possibility of the regional organization acquiring club goods for its member states. The presence of a regional hegemon within a regional organization also significantly increases the likelihood of an organization both establishing a peace mission and taking on the primary role when coordinating a joint mission. I argue this is because a regional hegemon allows the organization to more easily overcome the collective action problem between its own member states due to the presence of a privileged actor.

Project Risk Management (PRM) comprises of identification and
assessment, analysis and mitigation of risk factors in order to meet the
project objectives. Risk identification and assessment process has the
greatest importance as the risk models are constructed based on
previously defined risk sources and their interrelations. Although previous
studies have concentrated on the relation between risk events and their
consequences, the link between them must be modeled by considering
the various chains of risk events and the capacity of a &ldquo / system&rdquo / to react
to risk events simultaneously. The concept of &ldquo / risk paths&rdquo / should be used
to identify chains of risk events by means of a Hierarchical Risk
Breakdown Structure (HRBS) rather than defining individual risk factors.
The &ldquo / system&rdquo / consists of the characteristics of the project, company and
involved parties. The word &ldquo / vulnerability&rdquo / is used to describe the degree
v
to which a project is susceptible to adverse effects of change. The aim of
the current study is to develop a common vocabulary and design a HRBS
that integrates vulnerability factors with risk factors. A generic risk and
vulnerability assessment framework for international construction
projects is presented in this research. The justification of the factors
considered within the breakdown structure has been achieved by
referring to real construction projects carried out by Turkish contractors
in international markets.

An evaluation of the Canadian 200-mile fisheries zone : benefits,problems and constraintsParsons, L. S. January 1992 (has links)
This thesis evaluates the impact of the Canadian 200-mile fisheries zone from biological, economic and social perspectives. The factors and events leading to the 200-mile zone are examined. The Canadian management regime post-extension is described. Canada derived significant benefits from the 200-mile zone including increased management authority over a vast area with major fish resources, the displacement of foreign fisheries, the development of Canadian fisheries in areas and for species not previously utilized by Canada, and the opportunity to rebuild overfished fish stocks. However, various problems and constraints have led to continued fisheries instability. These include: (1) Natural resource variability, (2) The common property nature of the resource and resultant overcapacity, (3) Fluctuations in market conditions, (4) Heavy dependence on the fisheries in isolated coastal communities, and (5) Recurrent conflict among competing users and conflicting objectives for fisheries management. / Despite Canada's abundant marine fishery resources, various combinations of these factors have contributed to a recurrent boom-and-bust pattern in many marine fisheries. Extended jurisdiction did not provide a panacea for the problems of the fisheries sector. Continued periodic fluctuations in Canada's marine fisheries and demands for government assistance can be expected unless viable alternative economic opportunities can be developed in the coastal regions.

The international political economy of fishery management : the case of pirate fishing off the Senegalese coast.January 2004 (has links)
In 2002, at the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) a plan emerged to restore the approximately 60% of global fish stocks, which have been fished to the brink of destruction, to biologically sustainable levels by 2015. This plan was made in an attempt to secure greater food security for many of the world's people. However, severe Illegal Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in many of the world's fisheries makes the realisation of such a plan difficult, especially in the developing context where there are little means for regulating ocean fishery usage effectively. This dissertation examines the nature of IUU fishing, and attempts to find possible solutions to this pervasive problem for many coastal states in the developing world. The methods employed by the study comprise a review of literature pertaining to both theoretical and practical dilemmas, as well as a more focussed examination on IUU fishing in Senegal. Using a process of inductive analysis the case is contrasted with the theory in view of finding routes to improved resource exploitation mechanisms in the region. The study concludes that the global over-fishing crisis may create a window of opportunity for developing countries in possession of such resources to better manage their fisheries and take advantage of possible comparative advantages in international trade in fish products, thus improving balance of payments problems. However in order to achieve this, as a first measure the problem of IUU fishing must be eradicated. / Thesis (M.Pol.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2004.
