Book Synopsis Eco-labelling in Fisheries by : Bruce Phillips
Download or read book Eco-labelling in Fisheries written by Bruce Phillips and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the marine fishing industry is to survive into the future, innovative approaches are necessary. Recognising that market incentives have the potential to improve fisheries management, the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has been established to harness these incentives. The work of the MSC translates through from sustainable fishery management certification, to labelling of fish and sea food products, allowing consumers to use their choice and buying power to select eco-labelled products from MSC certified fisheries. This exciting new book covers all aspects of the new eco-labelling initiative developed under the sponsorship of the MSC. Contents include details of the MSC and its certification framework and implementation, dispute resolution, chain-of-custody assessment and community fisheries certification. Also included are important case studies of the MSC certified fisheries of Australia’s western rock lobster, Alaska salmon, Thames herring and New Zealand hoki. Eco-Labelling in Fisheries is an essential purchase for all those involved in marine fisheries management throughout the world. Professionals and students in fisheries science, marine biology, ecology, conservation and environmental biology will find this book to be extremely valuable. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where these subjects are studied and taught should have multiple copies of this book on their shelves.

Book Synopsis Governing Sustainable Seafood by : Simon R. Bush
Download or read book Governing Sustainable Seafood written by Simon R. Bush and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a social science approach, this book explores the governance of sustainable seafood, which is fundamental to food and nutrition security as well as being an important source of income and employment in many regions. Due to the importance of protein and other fishery and aquaculture by-products, many wild fisheries are coming under pressure, and this increasing demand has created a strong driver to expand aquaculture. As a result, the social and environmental sustainability of these production systems have come into question. The authors of the book explore the governance of sustainable seafood, taking into account the rise of social movements through environmental non-governmental organisations, the nature and perceived limits of government regulation within and beyond the state, and the promise of market-based approaches to governance such as ecolabelling. The book focuses on how concern over sustainable seafood has been translated into different current forms of governance. It then assesses what alternative governance approaches are starting to emerge that combine movements, states and markets for sustainable seafood production and consumption, and their effects. The book concludes with a vision for the future through key principles for evaluating the collective impact of governing sustainable seafood. This timely volume will be key reading for researchers interested in fisheries and aquaculture governance, as well as coastal and marine policies and sustainable food movements more broadly. It will also be of interest to practitioners and policymakers engaged in creating fishery policies and sustainable fishery development.

Book Synopsis Challenges to Effective Third-party Certification in Environmental Policy by : Tyler Blake Davis
Download or read book Challenges to Effective Third-party Certification in Environmental Policy written by Tyler Blake Davis and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: However, if any part of this causal chain fails, then the market-based tool may not produce the desired environmental outcomes. The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has emerged as a leading club that grants third-party certification for fisheries practices and is often cited as a successful example of a club good aligning incentives to promote sustainable fisheries. A growing body of literature using survey and market-based data has shown consumer preferences for MSC certified goods or other certified sustainable seafood products. However, since the first certification by MSC in 2000 many alternative clubs have entered the market and offer alternative third-party certification of sustainable fishing practices. No research to date has tested the perseverance of MSC price premiums or market share in the face of additional alternative certifications for responsible fisheries. This research is the first attempt to test the impact of varying the number of competing certifications of sustainable fishery practices on benefits to MSC certified firms. This research uses an online stated preference survey (n=610) to test the impact of additional certifications on market share and willingness to pay a 5% premium for MSC certified goods. This research finds that additional certified options decrease the market share for MSC certified goods. These survey results may suggest that benefits to firms in voluntary clubs for environmental practices may lose benefits when there is market entry in the same issue-space. The diluting of benefits to firms in existing clubs may diminish one motivation for firms to remain in voluntarily clubs for environmental practices. The contribution of this dissertation is the expansion of club owner agency within club theory to predict club member behavior and environmental outcomes. The findings of this dissertation suggest that additional entry to the market for clubs may weaken the alignment of incentives between consumer, producer and clubs to predict win-win-win outcomes. If policy makers neglect this fact, then policies intended to create win-win-win outcomes may instead result in lose-lose-lose outcomes where consumers cannot use producer club membership to differentiate between credence attributes, firms producing credence attributes are not rewarded with price premiums or additional market share and public policy outcomes are not achieved.

Download or read book Ocean Recovery written by Ray Hilborn and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, the scientific and popular media have been bombarded by gloom and doom stories of the future of fisheries, the status of fish stocks, and the impact of fishing on marine ecosystems. Dozens of certification and labeling schemes have emerged to advise consumers on what seafood is sustainable. In recent years, an opposing narrative has emerged emphasizing the success of fisheries management in many places, the increasing abundance of fish stocks in those places, and the prescription for sustainable fisheries. However, there has been no comprehensive survey of what really constitutes sustainability in fisheries, fish stock status, success and failures of management, and consideration of the impacts of fishing on marine ecosystems. This book will explore very different perspectives on sustainability, and bring together the data from a large number of studies to show where fish stocks are increasing, where they are declining, the consequences of alternative fisheries management regimes, and what is known about a range of fisheries issues such as the impacts of trawling on marine ecosystems. Ocean Recovery is aimed principally at a general audience that is already interested in fisheries but seeks both a deeper understanding of what is known about specific issues and an impartial presentation of all the data rather than selected examples used to justify a particular perspective or agenda. It will also appeal to the scientific community eager to know more about marine fisheries and fishing data, and serve as the basis for graduate seminars on the sustainability of natural resources.
Book Synopsis Blue Governance in the Arctic and Antarctic by : Geir Hønneland
Download or read book Blue Governance in the Arctic and Antarctic written by Geir Hønneland and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses to what extent the precautionary approach to fisheries management is reflected in the MSC Fisheries Standard and in the certification of four clusters of fisheries in polar waters. Certification according to private sustainability standards (ecolabelling) has become an important addition to public fisheries management in recent years. The major global ecolabel in terms of comprehensiveness and coverage is the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Fisheries Standard. Becoming and remaining certified requires continuous behavioural adaptation from fisheries through a fine-meshed system of improvement conditions attached to certification. Focus is on how certification has influenced fisher behaviour and state practice. In the Southern Ocean krill and toothfish fisheries, MSC certification has generated new scientific knowledge about the stocks. In the Barents Sea cod and haddock fisheries, fishing companies have voluntarily adapted their behaviour to reduce the fishery’s impacts on endangered, threatened and protected species and bottom habitats. In the local lumpfish fisheries in Greenland, Iceland and Norway, measures have been introduced to reduce the effects on seabirds and marine mammals. In the Northeast Atlantic mackerel fisheries, impacts have been more modest. Private certification is no panacea, but it seems to have found a niche as a supplement to national legislation and international agreements.
