3. OLD TARGET NEW TARGET Impacts of fishing

4. Current status

5. Trends in fishery indicators

6. development year = catch first reaches 25% of max annual catch Fishery development 1950-2004 No trend

7. Fishing deeper Fishing smaller Harvest better opportunities first

8. Fishing is a mature industry

10. Effects of catch share systems Essington 2010, PNAS

11. Exploitation under different management types Effort control (n=15) TAC only (n=71) TAC with catch shares (n=35) Frequency Europe South Africa Argentina New Zealand Australia US SE coast/Gulf of Mexico US NE coast Canada east coast Canada west coast US west coast US Alaska log of F : F msy ratio TAC with catch shares TAC only Effort control ± s.e.

12. Giving stakeholders a lasting stake Catch shares align incentives of individual fishermen with management goals Generally work with developed regulatory agencies At the community level, how might incentives of a group of resource users be aligned with management objectives ?

13. Institutional arrangement where responsibility for resource management is shared between the government and user groups Fisheries Co-Management Modified from Ostrom 2009 Science

15. Keys for co-management success

16. Conclusions Many fisheries are overfished or collapsed, but many are healthy or recovered. Pattern of profit-driven fishing evident at a global scale. Commercial fishing is now a mature industry. We can achieve sustainable fisheries with appropriate management including catch shares and co-management.
