Abstract

Coastal waters around the UK provide richly diverse fishing opportunities for small-scale enterprises that make up 79% of the active fishing fleet but account for only 11% of overall landing value. In terms of size, fishing activity and governance the small-scale sector exhibits marked regional variation. Fisheries administration is devolved to the four constituent ‘nations’ (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and the analysis pays particular attention to contrasting systems of devolved local governance for inshore/small-scale fisheries in England and Scotland. Sustainable futures for small-scale fisheries are under threat from internal and external pressures: social renewal faces uncertain recruitment; fishing activity confronts increasing competition for space from conservation, recreation and renewable energy interests; and traditional forms of adaptive behaviour are challenged by restrictive legislation. An ideal governance landscape for building resilience within the sector is posited on the integration and empowerment of local institutional networks.

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The North Sea comprises one of the world's most prolific fishing regions but its management has been complicated by the contrasting fishing patterns of its 7 coastal states. Industrial fisheries have prospered while food fisheries have declined. Overfishing of the latter has been recognised for over 100 years and currently stocks of demersal food fish are in a seriously depleted state. As a result, total allowable catches for major demersal species have fluctuated dramatically in recent years. This paper analyses the problems of renewable resource management under conditions of extreme uncertainty. It examines the relationship between the Common Fisheries Policy and the system of devolved quota management adopted by the UK government for its North Sea sector, and concludes that neither system is particularly well adapted to cope with the problems posed by uncertainty.
