|  Achieving sustainable development outcomes in fisheries requires careful consideration of the economic benefits that arise from fisheries and the extent to which they are effectively realised. In particular, careful consideration should be given to the resource rents which most fisheries are capable of generating. Effective fiscal policy environments enable rents to be harnessed to their best advantage and may help address some key development problems related to open access - rent dissipation and over-capacity. Economic benefits from fisheries are not only derived from rents. Benefits also arise from fishing impacts: e.g. value-added, local employment, incomes and food security. However, although both types of benefit are important (and their relative importance is highly location-specific), from the perspective of fiscal reform, it is the issue of 'what to do with resource rents' that is of crucial importance when resolute policy decisions are made to introduce or improve fisheries management. This topic was set up to house a workshop on "Fiscal reforms for Fisheries – to promote growth, poverty eradication and sustainable management" funded by DFID and implemented by SIFAR. This examines two important policy challenges open to us: the first of these concerns how to assess the potential value of rents; the second concerns how to understand the ways in which rents can be captured and used effectively and sustainably.

( Document )
| | Author(s) / Editor(s) | Tamate, J. | | Description | Paper presented at the Workshop on Fiscal Reform in Fisheries, FAO, Rome, 13 to 15 October 2003. This paper describes the experience of the members of the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) with fishing access agreements in the last 20 years, and the various mechanisms they adopted to manage their tuna fishery resource. Also included in this paper is a brief description of the National Tuna Management and Development Plans and the Western and Central Pacific Tuna Convention that was adopted in late 2000. | | Keywords | ACCESS AGREEMENTS; FISCAL REFORM; ECONOMICS; MARINE FISHERIES | | Geography Keywords | PACIFIC | | Content Language(s) | English | | File Location | | |
