  1. Workshop Fishing forever? Arjan de Vries, Lise Alix and Wendy Vercruijsse

  2. Workshop set-up • Play the pre-fisheries game 20 min. • Theory on ocean’s management 20 min. • Questions 5 min. • Play the main fisheries game 40 min. • Workshop evaluation 10 min.

  3. What happens in the oceans? • Global fishstocks • Ocean management • Dutch coastal situation • Fisheries certification • What fish to eat/to avoid • Questions

  4. Global fish stock crisis 12% 28%

  5. But fishing continues.... Source: FAO. (2011) Review of the state of the world marine fishery resources

  6. Ecosystem damage Bycatch Bottom destruction by trawling

  7. Ocean management?

  8. Tragedy of the Commons

  9. Fisheries controls • Effort limitations • Technical measures • Fish quota • Fleet reduction • Marine reserves or No-Take zones • Fishing rights

  10. North sea desert

  11. Dutch Sea management North Sea Wadden Sea EU Common fisheries policy Fleet reduction Effort control Marine reserve with selective fishing Total allowable catch activities Trilateral Wadden Sea Cooperative and Dutch Government

  12. The future Earth Summit in June, 2012. At this moment proposals are made: 10% of ocean as marine reserve, banning subsidies, phazing out trawling, improving enforcement on high seas and ports (illigal fishing) and improved coordination on flags of convenience ships.

  13. The reform of the EU CFP 2013 Key points: • Discard ban • Maximum Sustainable Yield 2015 • Regionalization • Social Dimension • Transferable Fishing Concessions

  14. MSC label Principles: 1. Sustainable fish stocks 2. Minimizing environmental impact 3. Effective management

  15. Dining out? Nobu’s Pathagonian Toothfish McDonalds Fish-o-Filet http://www.noburestaurants.com/miami/private-events/set-menus/

  16. Fish to avoid eating • Atlantic cod • Tuna • Orange Roughy/ Empereur

  17. Rather eat these fish: • North sea herring • White mullet • Japanese oyster

  19. Questions?

  20. Why European seas as managed commons fails • Lack of enfocement and too many fishermen • These are the 2 definitions of management failures according to Hardins tragedy of the commons. • P.149

  21. Maximum Sustainable yield Based on taking the amount of stock that maximizes profits on the assumption that reduced stocks enhance biological capacity and thus increase fish population growth. But....these assumptions are highly vulnareble to miscalculations, environmental disasters, fish diseases etc.

  22. Subsidies • Creates overcapacity

  23. Black fish Illegally fished in Europe: 60% of Hake 50% of cod in Brittain • 50% of saith

  24. Top ten species fully exploited
