Fishery Management in the Mediterranean: An Evaluation of Effort-based Management Systems
By Joseph Catanzano, Stephen Cunningham, Hélène ReyABSTRACT
- The evolution of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean
- The review of the Common Fisheries Policy due in 2002.
This changing context offers an ideal opportunity to re-consider the fundamental fishery management strategy. It is widely proposed that only an effort-based management system can succeed in the Mediterranean. Yet in the fishery management literature and in practice in other fisheries around the world, it seems increasingly accepted that effort-based systems suffer significant drawbacks compared to other kinds of system. This paper evaluates the limits and advantages of an effort-based system given the particular nature of Mediterranean fisheries. KEYWORDS:
