Abstract: The fishery, with its inherent complexity and long history of debate over matters of sustainability provides an important case study on sustainable development and the routes to its achievement. This paper (a) reviews the evolution of sustainability concepts and management paradigms in the fishery, (b) draws on this experience to develop an integrated “sustainability assessment” framework, and analyses potential policy directions for sustainable development
Christie, W.J. ‘Developing the concept of sustainable fisheries’. Journal of Aquatic Ecosystem Health (1993). Note: Author’s Proof
Abstract: We are approaching the limits to world fish yields, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain the stocks in the face of allocative disputes between fisheries and between competing water uses. A new strategy if needed to integrate aquatic ecosystem management into the larger context of environmentally sustainable development. This will need to span jurisdictions and interest sectors in long-range environment-economy planning. It is suggested that this process is impossible within conventional government infrastructures, and that a new movement is needed, involving multi-sector, independent public participation.

Abstract: Based on the papers presented at the 22nd Conference of the Pacific Trade and Development (PAFTAD) held in 1995 this book explores the elements of a framework in which the output of renewable resources could be maintained and depleting resources replaced by substitutes or technological changes. Strategies for improving environmental practice are discussed. The first section of the book concentrates on global issues such as greenhouse gas policy. The second section focuses on renewable resources such as the fishery and forestry. Urban environmental problems, specifically waste management and marine pollution are considered in the third section of the book. The fourth section examines policy instruments and their global and regional application. In the fifth section the elements of an environmental policy appropriate for an APEC agenda are outlined.

Abstract: The rapid expansion of intensive one-species aquaculture has generated severe environmental as well as socioeconomic problems. A major reason is that Western-oriented aquaculture has been managed as an isolated part of its supporting environment. In this paper, the authors compare the use of industrial energy for various aquaculture, fisheries and agriculture systems and analyze the connection between resource use, methods of culturing and environment impacts. The characteristics of one-species aquaculture, such as intensive throughput-based salmon cage-farming and shrimp pond-farming, are found to be similar to those of stressed ecosystems. Because of the problems with these monocultures, there is a great need for Western-oriented aquaculture to redirect the industry’s present behavior towards a path of synergy between development and environment. A challenge is to find ecological economic ways to integrate culturing activities in coastal areas. The authors conclude that the more a cultivation system recognizes and mimics natural ecosystem functions the less resource inputs are required and the less environmental effects can be expected.

Abstract: This publication contains a collection of case studies and design applications from around the world that focus on the institutional dimensions of environmental sustainability. The knowledge of how property rights regimes, as particularly important types of institutions, function in relation to humans and their use of the environment is critical to the design and implementation of effective environmental protection. These studies address questions of the design of governance systems for sustainability; the relationships among equity, stewardship, and environmental resilience; the use of traditional knowledge in resource management; the mechanisms that link humans to their environments; and the role played by poverty and population.

Henderson, Michael A. and Michael C. Healey. ‘Doubling sockeye salmon production in the Fraser River - is this sustainable development?’ Environmental Management 17 (1993): 719-728.
Abstract: We evaluate a proposal to double sockeye salmon production from the Fraser River and conclude that significant changes will be required to current management processes, particularly the way available catch is allocated, if the plan is to be consistent with five major principles embodied in the concept of sustainable development. Doubling sockeye salmon production will not, in itself, increase economic equity either regionally or globally. Developing nations may actually be hindered in their attempts to institute other, nonsalmon fisheries in the North Pacific Ocean as a result of the possible interception of salmon. Further, other users of the Fraser River basin will have to forgo opportunities so that salmon habitat can be conserved. If doubling sockeye salmon production is to be the goal of doing more with less, it will be necessary to develop more efficient technologies to harvest the fish. If increasing salmon production is to reflect the integration of environmental and economic decision making at the highest level, then a serious attempt must be made to incorporate environmental assets into national economic accounting. Finally, to promote biodiversity and cultural self-sufficiency within the Fraser River basin, it will be important to safeguard the small, less-productive salmon stocks as well as the large ones and to allocate a substantial portion of the increased production to the Native Indian community.

Johnston, Douglas M. ‘The driftnetting problem in the Pacific Ocean: legal considerations and diplomatic options’. Ocean Development and International Law 21 (1990): 5-39.
Abstract: Large-scale driftnetting is a particularly destructive and indiscriminate mode of capturing the sea’s living resources and other wildlife. Because of the methods and materials used, the practice presents an environmental threat as well. In the Pacific, pressures by “victim states” to reduce or eliminate driftnetting by vessels of the “culprit states” have led to bilateral and regional actions and , in December 1989, to a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for, inter alia, moratoria on large-scale driftnetting by mid-1992. The author notes the inapplicability of national law to this high seas problem and the difficulties of managing driftnetting practices under “classical” and “neoclassical” international law approaches. Only the “soft law” duties to conserve, cooperate, and negotiate provide a legal avenue toward resolving the problem. Ultimately, the solution lies in various kinds of diplomacy, described by the author as “transactional”, “guidelines,” and “leverage” diplomacy.

Ruddle, Kenneth. ‘Local knowledge in the future management of inshore tropical marine resources and environments.’ Nature and Resources 30 (1994:1) : 28-37. 10 p.
Abstract: Local knowledge about the environment and natural resources is being shown to be an important asset in coastal marine societies. Such knowledge provides the basis for traditional community-based management systems, and its acquisition, use and transmission are extremely relevant to livelihoods in subsistence fishing over most of the world. Once collected, verified and blended with more technical forms of research, such as population genetics and dynamics, physiology and microbiology, local knowledge has great potential for the effective management of tropical coastal marine resources.

Abstract: This publication discusses potential policy instruments for promoting sustainable development in British Columbia and the institutions most appropriate for implementing sustainable development policies and instruments. Discussion concentrates on different resource sectors. Considerable discussion is given to the use of economic instruments to reduce the environmental externalities of or common pool problems of air pollution which include: emissions trading, permitting point sources, and permit fees. The controversy of sustained yield versus sustainable development in forestry is discussed, as well as the use of a number of policy instruments: managing forest land for multiple values, optimum management for sustained supplies of timber, and concentrated control over Crown forest lands by vertically integrated forest product firms. Management of the fishery resource as a common property is discussed with reference to a number of policy instruments that include: limited entry programs, individual harvest quotas, and area licenses.

Abstract: This edited collection of conference papers cover a range of topics that discuss the relationship between sustainable development and the labour market. Several papers consider air quality regulation, focusing on the mobility of industry in relation to regulation and the relationship between contaminant emissions and the intensity of monitoring by regulators. The management of fishery resources is considered by another paper. The “structural management” of the fishery through limitation of fishing effort in order to allow for the recovery and maintenance of fish stocks is discussed. Moving beyond the fishing industry another paper examines the interjurisdictional competition that seeks to attract the hazardous waste industry through preferential taxation. External environmental effects on locational decisions are also considered by another paper. Specifically the authors discuss the qualitative estimation of the climatic influence over location choice through willingness to pay. The final paper in this collection discusses the development of a set of sustainable tourism indicators to help identify and manage the impacts of tourism.

Abstract: This report provides guidance on the use of incentive instruments and mechanisms designed to promote the conservation of biodiversity and encourage its ecologically sustainable use. Over 400 people throughout Australia and overseas contributed to this report through a series of consultations and workshops. The project identifies broad objectives in a number of areas: integrated planning for the conservation of biodiversity and ecologically sustainable use of its components (at various spatial scales), the conservation and protection of biodiversity, ecologically sustainable management of bioresources and biodiversity components, and the management and control of threatening processes. Specific barriers and opportunities and target groups are identified in the report. The project developed evaluation criteria and a list of economic and social incentive types. Various types of incentive instruments are assessed against specified evaluation criteria. The second part of this report contains the appendices that provide details about the literature review, each of the case studies, and the consultation report.
