Concern that rates of aquaculture growth in OECD countries are below potential has resulted in environmentally sustainable production increase becoming a priority for policy makers. Growth in aquaculture production can be influenced by many factors. This report looks at the attributes of...

The situation of relative water scarcity becomes a classic problem in developing countries. This issue is not about the absence of water, but rather about the inequality with regard to access to water. Scarcity of water is a part of daily life for some though the area of abundant water...

Empirically evaluating environmental policies requires grappling with impacts that exhibit not only cross-sectional heterogeneity, but also variation across time. Phased policy roll-outs offer opportunities for improvement across cohorts and policy effects can grow or decay, especially when...

Voluntary standards certifying environmental qualities of labeled products have proliferated across sectors and countries. Effectuating these standards requires the collaboration among and between creators (typically firms and non-governmental organizations) and adopters (firms across a...

This study examines the impact of subsidies on the profitability and ecological stability of the North Sea fisheries over the past 20 years. It shows the negative impact that subsidies can have on both the biomass of important fish species and the possible profit from fisheries. The study...

This essay focuses on the impact of multilateral environmental policy and law on multilateral fisheries policy and law, however, en route it will also point to the limited impact that developments in these fields of law have had on multilateral law concerned with the economics of the fishing...

From ecosystems we derive food and fiber, fuel and pharmaceuticals. Ecosystems mediate local and regional climates, stabilize soils, purify water, and in general provide a nearly endless list of services essential to life as we know it. To understand how to manage these services it is essential...

Various complex dynamics in ecologic-economic systems are presented with an emphasis upon models of global warming dynamics and fishery dynamics. Chaotic and catastrophic dynamic patterns are shown to be possible, along with other complex dynamics arising from non-linearities in such combined...

Various complex dynamics in ecologic-economic systems are presented with an emphasis upon models of global warming and fishery dynamics. Chaotic and catastrophic dynamic patterns are shown to be possible, along with amplified oscillations due to these non-linear interactions in the combined...
