Economics of Mid-Atlantic Fisheries - in the year 2030 by Dennis King University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science

Overview Expect increasing volatility until 2030, driven mostly by climate-driven changes in ocean conditions affecting: Fishery Resources Fishery Management Fishery Science But also because of changes in Institutions: Councils and state fishery agencies Approaches: Shift From species-based to ecosystem-based Technology: ocean data, side scanning sonar, refrigeration, electronic monitoring, better enforcement Economics: consolidation, aquaculture, gentrification, labelling, buying local, boat to table, etc.

Ten Reasons to expect volatility from now until 2030 (1 to 5) Climate-driven changes in ocean conditions Regulators responding to changing ocean conditions Less reliable results from fishery models Shift from species-based to ecosystem-based management Changes in the law giving federal fishery managers more flexibility and more mandates to consider socio-economics

Ten Reasons to expect volatility from now until 2030 (6 to 10) Changes in state allocations of catch quotas Technological change favoring consolidation of fishing and seafood businesses Increased monitoring of fishing and more enforcement using modern electronics 9. Likely restructuring of state and federal fishery institutions 10. More influence of environmental NGOs in fishery management

Trends in Mid-Atlantic Commercial Fisheries (2002-2015)

Trends in Mid-Atlantic Recreational Fisheries (2002-2015)

Possible Causes of Declining Harvests in Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Decline in abundance Decline in availability Decline in catchability Decline in Fishing Effort Retargeting of Fishing Effort Increases in unreported catch Increases in sampling error

Some trends worse than we see ?

Ten Milestones to watch for Incorporation of changing ocean conditions into fishery models/science Shift from species-based to ecosystem-based fishery management Fishing restrictions based on indicators of risk, not conventional fishery science Adjustments in state fishery management to account for shifts in fisheries among Mid-Atlantic states…and into and out of the region Modifications in the structure of federal and state fishery management institutions in the Mid-Atlantic region to reflect new fishery/ocean realities Increasing joint government/fishing industry fish stock assessments Increased availability and use of real time ocean conditions by fishermen. Strategies adopted to prevent legal and political challenges based on scientific uncertainty from derailing necessary fishing restrictions More balanced responses to already financially stressed commercial fishermen, growing numbers of recreational anglers, and increasingly influential environmental NGOs. Consolidation of commercial fishing as a result of increased steaming and searching time, gentrification of ports, need to use modern technology, shifts in location of buyers, etc.

Conclusions Expect increasing volatility in Mid-Atlantic fisheries driven mostly by impacts of changing ocean conditions on: Abundance, Distribution, and Catchability of Fish Reliability of Fishery Science and Fishery Models Scientific justifications for Fishery Management Decisions But also because of changes in fishery management Institutions: both federal and state Approaches: Shift from species-based to ecosystem-based And, changes in: Technology: More industry consolidation, more monitoring Economics: more aquaculture, gentrification, buying local, boat to table, etc.

One Very General Recommendation When shifting to an ecosystem-based approach consider a simple three step approach to Integrated Risk Management Step 1: Control manageable risks (e.g., fishing mortality) Step 2: Monitor leading indicators of unmanageable risks (e.g., natural mortality, recruitment failure) Step 3: Establish and follow agreed upon rules for responding when leading indicators of unmanageable risks indicate they are becoming unacceptable. Note: Step 2 focuses on risk to, not measures of, stock abundance. Step 3 will be difficult because the only possible response in most cases will be tighter fishing restrictions or prohibitions.
