Abstract

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 fisherys 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. Geir Hnneland is Adjunct Professor at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute and Nord University, Norway. He holds a Ph.D. in political science and an LL.M. in the law of the sea and has published a number of books on international ocean governance, Arctic politics and Russian identity.

Abstract

This book is a contribution to our understanding of the worrying situation of small-scale fisheries (SSF) which face marginalisation in most coastal countries. The authors explain why SSF are so pressured; how there has been a powerful backlash against this marginalisation during the last 30 years; what are the main ideational currents supporting this backlash; and what is the enduring value of SSF that justifies that support. The authors discuss the major contemporary interpretations of SSF; the challenges facing SSF globally and in England; and SSF’s coping strategies in response to those challenges through the framework of resilience theory. In an innovative analysis, the authors show how there are three kinds of resilience: passive resilience (where fishers are resigned to their adverse fate), adaptive resilience (where fishers make the best use of the opportunities that are available to them), and transformative resilience (where fishers attempt to change the system that faces them). The authors draw on an extensive range of interview data to provide rich insights into the world of SSF, and they discuss a variety of proposals for improving their conditions. The book will appeal to the growing academic and public community that is following with increasing concern the debate about the future of SFF, and to the environmental movement which has committed itself to support SSF as a greener form of fishing than the large-scale industrial sector.

Abstract

"Toujours présentes dans les cales des navires qui sillonnent la Méditerranée à l'époque moderne, les ressources de la mer constituent l'un des piliers du commerce maritime, mais aussi l'une des bases essentielles de l'alimentation des sociétés littorales anciennes. Les conditions d'exploitation de ces richesses naturelles, poissons et coquillages, soie de mer, nacre, éponges ou peaux de chagrin, ont été profondément modifiées entre le xv" et le xviii" siècle. Les innovations radicales qui se produisent au sein les techniques de pêche dès la fin du Moyen Âge permettent une augmentation importante des tonnages réalisés. Les surplus de production induisent l'apparition d'une activité de conditionnement soutenue par un groupe actif d'investisseurs extérieurs au monde de la barque. Dès le xvi" siècle, des clivages sociaux divisent les communautés de pêche tandis que se marginalisent les pratiques collectives les plus anciennes. Essentielles pour les économies littorales, les ressources de la mer pénètrent loin à l'intérieur des terres. Marchandise de première nécessité, le poisson, à l'instar du blé, participe donc de politiques édilitaires. Cet ouvrage propose une lecture multi scalaire, conduite sur une longue durée, de la nature et de la fonction des richesses extraites de la mer, mais aussi des sociétés maritimes qui mettent en oeuvre cette exploitation, du plongeur à nu du golfe de Gabès jusqu'au petit consommateur d'une cité roussillonnaise du XVIIIe siècle."--Page 4 of cover.
