  2. Outline • WP 8 members; • Project objectives; • Deliverables; • Publications; • Stakeholder involvements; • Workshops. • Long term benefits of WP.

  4. Project objectives • Provision of social and economic data to the project database; • Valuation of marine ecosystem goods and services; • Develop economic and social indicators of ineffective management; • Develop policy options for sustainable coastal resources management; • Write final Work Package report; • Publish at least 5 papers.

  5. Deliverable 1 Economic & Social Database • Economic and social data: • Coastal stakeholders and social data; • Economic data • Ex vessel prices; • Cost of fishing; • Non-market values; • Subsidies. • Institutional data.

  6. Deliverable 2Ecosystem values • Market: • Fishery values; • Tourism/recreational values. • Non-market: • Meta-analysis of available valuation results.

  7. Deliverable 2 (cont’d) • Habitat-fishery interactions and values; • Discounting & future generation values; • Use of ecosystem models to explore consequences of ineffective management.

  8. Deliverable 3Analysis of ineffective management: Indicators • Indicators of ineffective management: • Poverty index; • Subsidy index; • Conservation risk index; • Overcapacity index; • Policy sensitivity index.

  9. Deliverable 4, 5 and 6 • Deliverable 4: Policy options; • Deliverable 5:Five scientific papers; • Deliverable 6: Final report.

  10. Publications • About 40 items, should hit 45 items; • Over 25 are refereed journal publications; • Examples: • Sumaila, U.R., Marsden, D., Watson, R., and Pauly, D.

  13. Stakeholder involvement • Lots of media attention for our work: • Quoted in Time Magazine, Sept. 19, 2007 9 (see http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1663604,00.html. • Several, some high-powered presentation: • Gave a briefing to the G77 at the United Nations, Oct. 3; 2007.

  14. Foundations of modern fisheries development • Know the state of your fish stocks and ecosystems; • Know the value of your fishery resources; • Strengthen fisheries management, especially, monitoring, control and surveillance.

  15. Elements of modern fisheries development • Engage only in mutually beneficial/access agreements; • Use subsidies rarely, and only those that do no harm to the resource base; • Where feasible, use catch rights or dedicated access privileges; • Engage only in sustainable aquaculture; • Develop smart small-scale inshore fisheries • Use marine protected areas as insurance.

  16. Long term benefits of WP • Claire Armstrong, UiT, Norway; • Ratana Chuenpagdee, CDC, Thailand; • Sheila Heymans, Namibia & UBC; • Patricia Susan Alexander, UNAM; • Jannike Falk-Petersen, UiT, Norway; • Rashid Sumaila, UNAM&UBC.
