ECOST Problem Depletion of coastal and marine resources Gianluca Ferraro Public Management Institute Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Problem Depletion of coastal and marine resources Focus Fishing practices and public policies Purpose Better management of aquatic resources Restoration of marine ecosystems (Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, 2002) Output New method for the evaluation of fishing activities and policies (‘societal cost’) Impact Sustainable development of coastal zones in developing countries Activities Study of the weaknesses of existing approaches Construction and validation of ECOST model Comparative analysis of societal costs Definition of policy options

Work package 10 Gianluca Ferraro Public Management Institute Katholieke Universiteit Leuven WP10.1 / Analysis of present-day public policies for fisheries management, of their sustainability and of their national-international interactions WP10.1.1.2 / Inventory of national fisheries policies and of actors involved in the policy field for Senegal, Cuba and Thailand WP10.2 / Analysis of the coherence between national fishery policies and the post-1992 policies for environment and natural resources protection (Senegal, Cuba, Thailand) WP10.1.1.1 / Inventory of the institutional and legal framework for fisheries management at international and regional level WP10.1.2 / Assessment of existing public policies vs. WSSD Plan of Implementation WP10.1.1 / Assessment of the existing policy context for fishery at international, regional and national scale, and of the interactions between the three levels WP10.3 / Assessment of the impact of CCRF and similar tools on national policy-making WP10.3.2 / Transposition and impact of other international rules/tools on national policy making WP10.3.1 / Transposition and impact of CCRF on national policy making

Research questions Gianluca Ferraro Public Management Institute Katholieke Universiteit Leuven To what extent are developing countries succeeding in the implementation of the WSSD objectives? Have they developed national instruments in accordance with the prescriptions of the WSSD Plan of Implementation (‘policy outputs’)? Have these instruments functioned as intended (‘policy outcomes’)? Eventually, which could be the reasons explaining an ‘implementation deficit’? Can policy clashes explain such a gap between objectives set at the international level and national outcomes (‘policy coherence’)? Have the CCSF affected the behaviour and policy-making of national governments? What lessons can be suggested in order to improve and accelerate the path towards sustainable fishery policies (WP11)?
