    The regulators and the regulated: fisheries management, options and dynamics in Kenya's Lake Victoria fishery

    The study divides the history of the fishery into five 'regulatory periods': the pre-colonial fishery (pre-1901), the colonial fishery (1901-1963), the post indipendence fishery (1963-1980), the Nile perch 'boom' years (1980-1989), and finally the fishery in the 1990's. Within each of these periods, the nature of and the relationship between, formal and informal regulations differs and changes with time. In the pre-colonial period, the outcome of formal and informal regulations largely sustained the fishery in a productive and species diverse state. However, at no time since then have formal regulations worked, with the result that the nature of production from the fishery changes over time and is dependent on a number of factors, amongst which the most important are effort level increases, technological introductions, species introductions, changes in regional and national job markets, the change from community-based controls to state-based controls within the fishery, and finally, considerable changes to the fish markets

    Proposals for community discussion. A quality future for recreational fishing in the Gascoyne. A five-year management strategy for recreational fishing.

    Get PDF
    Gascoyne has seen a series of rapid developments in recreational fisheries management, starting with the introduction of state-wide bag limits in 1991; followed by area specific controls at Ningaloo in 1992; landing limits in Exmouth Gulf in 1993; strict controls on the take of pink snapper in Shark Bay’s inner gulfs in 1997; new bag limits for Shark Bay in 1998; and the introduction of a management system for the charter and aquatic tour industry in 1999. The management proposals presented for community discussion in this paper are aimed at maintaining or improving the quality and diversity of the Gascoyne\u27s recreational fisheries in the face of inexorable increases in population and fishing pressures

    New Bedford/Fairhaven Municipal Harbor Plan

    Get PDF
    The historic harbor lying between the City of New Bedford and Town of Fairhaven has shaped the identities and economies of these two municipalities for centuries. Today, the Harbor is one of nation’s preeminent fishing ports, ranked #1 nationally in 2007 in dollar value (268million)offishlandingswithanestimatedtotaleconomicregionalimpactofnearly268 million) of fish landings with an estimated total economic regional impact of nearly 1 billion. The New Bedford’s seafood processing industry has grown in size and sophistication in recent years and is an internationally established center for this industry. Marine service and vessel repair industries, centered in Fairhaven, have an excellent reputation with commercial fleets all along the East Coast and have successfully diversified to capture markets associated with recreational vessels. With the creation of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park in 1996, the Harbor’s history and cultural heritage have gained increased visibility and recognition nationally, resulting in a more vibrant local tourism industry. An increase in the number of cruise ship port calls, the addition of fast ferry service to Martha’s Vineyard, and the return of maritime shipping are among the recent changes that have added new vitality to the Port and the promise of renewed economic growth. Dredging, harbor cleanup and shoreside infrastructure improvements underway and/or planned will all promote and support a healthy working port and sustainable development. Despite clear strengths, the Harbor is also encountering challenges. The difficulties of the fishing industry have had a substantial impact on fishing families throughout New England. In response to the decline in the amount and value of fish landed, there has been a consolidation of port services and of the harvesting fleets in just a few remaining commercial fishing hub service ports including New Bedford/Fairhaven. Although not immune to the struggles experienced by this industry, New Bedford/Fairhaven Harbor has successfully retained its position as one of the nation’s leading fishing ports. Unfortunately, as port consolidation continues, there has proven to be insufficient accessible waterfront land or dock space to safely and efficiently accommodate all the commercial fishing vessels that would like to make the New Bedford/Fairhaven their homeport. Several infrastructure improvements are badly needed to increase the Port’s capacity and a number of projects have already been initiated to help alleviate this problem. The 2010 New Bedford/Fairhaven Municipal Harbor Plan includes a larger planning area from that used in the 2002 Plan. The area of the Harbor addressed in this Harbor Plan extends from the hurricane barrier to the Wood Street Bridge with a primary focus on the inner harbor’s working port. Some attention is also given to the New Bedford waterfront south of the hurricane barrier around the peninsula extending down to Fort Rodman, primarily focused on public access and some related commercial opportunities

    7th International ISEKI-Food Conference: next-generation of food research, education and industry. Book of abstracts

    Get PDF
    As part of its mission, ISEKI-Food Association establishes and maintains a network among universities, research institutions, and companies in the food chain in addition to working to ensure that food studies are of high quality. However, we must also begin planning how to gear science, education, and the food industry to meet the needs of future generations as well as how to contribute to the sustainability of our planet by these food actors. In light of this, the 7th International ISEKI-Food Conference, which had as main theme “NEXT-GENERATION OF FOOD RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY”, focused on future challenges in education on food science and technology, in research activities related to processing, quality and safety, packaging of foods and in societal engagements in the field divided in three main sections: EDUCATION: CHALLENGES OF EDUCATION IN A CHANGING WORLD; RESEARCH: NEXT GENERATION OF FOODS; and SOCIETY ENGAGEMENT: SOCIETY AND FOOD INDUSTRY. The conference was dedicated to all food actors, creating bridges among them. The delegates had the opportunity to exchange new ideas and experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations, and find global partners for future collaborations.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
