    Rights-Based Management in International Tuna Fisheries 2013

    This technical paper discusses rights-based management of international tuna fisheries that directly addresses the incomplete or absent property rights underlying the incentives for overfishing, overcapacity, and failure to capture the full social and economic benefits that are possible. Rights that are secure, exclusive and extend into the future can be defined over shares of total allowable catch or effort or by units of capacity, but catch shares provide the strongest and most effective right . Rights-based management creates positive incentives that end the race to fish and creates conditions for matching capacity with fishing opportunities and sustainable catches, economic efficiency, full benefits, and wealth. Transferable rights provide a means of accommodating new members and increasing fishing by small island and coastal developing States.

    Report of the Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction Deep Sea Fisheries Rights-based Management Workshop, 10-12 April 2019, Rome 2020

    From 10 to 12 April 2019, a group of international experts met in Rome to identify and evaluate the issues relating to existing and future possible implementation of rights-based management of high seas fisheries. The group reviewed the development of international law as it relates to the high seas fisheries. Particular emphasis was given to the Convention on the Law of the Sea and how it provides for access to high seas fisheries and the obligations this access involves and the implications for those wishing to enter fully prescribed fisheries. This assessment provided the starting point to the legal basis that allows Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to manage harvesting entitlements to fish stocks or to effort, capacity, or habitat impact in their jurisdiction in a manner that ensures that the incentives for effective and efficient management from rights-based management (RBM) that are found in seas under national jurisdiction may also be obtained from high seas fisheries.
