Using Market Mechanisms To Manage Fisheries.
Why Aren't Market Mechanisms More Widely Used To Manage Fisheries In Oecd Countries? Despite The Demonstrated Benefits From Instruments Like As Transferable Access Rights And Individual Transferable Quotas, There Remains Some Resistance To Their Further Use In Many Oecd Coumtries.
Such Resistance Stems Largely From A Lack Of Information About The Potential Benefits And Costs Of Introducing Market Mechanisms.
There Is Also Uncertainty About The Available Strategies For Overcoming Technical, Institutional And Political Issues In The Design And Implementation Of Market Mechanisms.
The Purpose Of This Study Is To Help Demystify The Concept Of Market-like Instruments And To Help Policy Makers Make Better Occasion Of Market-like Instruments In Fisheries Management.
Tue Findings Of The Study Are Based On A Survey Of The Use Of Market-like Instruments In Oecd Fisheries In Which The Key Characteristics Of These Instruments In Different Countries Are Identified.
A Key Outcome Of The View Is The Recognition That A Compass Of Market-like Instruments Are, In Fact, Widely Used In Managing Fisheries Ib Oecd Countries.
This Has Generally Improved The Economic Effuciency Of The Sector, And Helped To Ensure The Sustainability Of Fish Stocks.
One Of The Tonic Benefits To Policy Makers From This Study Is The Identificqtion Of Practical Steps That Can Be Taken To Address The Range Of Challenging Obstacles To The Further Use OfM arket-like Instruments.
This Will Help Policy Makers In Identifying Strategies That May Help Smooth The Path Towards The Wider Use Of Market Mechanisms In Fisheries Management In The Oedd.
