|  | | | | Title | Valuing mangrove-fishery linkages: A case study of Campeche, Mexico
( Document )
| | Author(s) / Editor(s) | Barbier, E.B.; Strand, I. | | Description | Paper prepared for the 8th Annual Conference of European Association of Environmental and Resource Economics (EAERE), Tilburg University, The Netherlands, 26-28 June 1997. The paper explores the value of mangrove systems as a breeding and nursery habitat for off-shore isheries, focusing on mangrove-shrimp production linkages in Campeche State, Mexico. We develop an open access fishery model to account explicitly for the effect of mangrove area on carrying capacity and thus production. From the long-run equilibrium conditions of the model we are able to stablish the key parameters determining the comparative static effects of a change in mangrove area on this equilibrium. We then estimate empirically the effects of changes in mangrove area in the Laguna de Terminos on the production and value of shrimp harvests in Campeche over 1980-90. Our findings suggest that mangroves are an important and essential input into the Campeche shrimp fishery, but that the low levels of deforestation between 1980 and 1990 mean that the resulting losses to the shrimp fishery are still comparatively small. Over-exploitation of the fishery due to open access conditions remains the more pervasive threat, and without better management, any long-run benefits of protecting mangrove habitat are likely to be dissipated. | | Keywords | MANGROVE SWAMPS; SHRIMP FISHERIES; CASE STUDIES | | Geography Keywords | MEXICO; CAMPECHE | | Content Language(s) | English | | File Location | | | Publisher | Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) | | Publication Location | Milan (Italy) | | Publication Date | 1997 | |
