Assessment Of Eco-Labelling Schemes For Pacific Tuna Fisheries, David Kirby, Candice Visser, Quentin Hanich
Assessment Of Eco-Labelling Schemes For Pacific Tuna Fisheries, David Kirby, Candice Visser, Quentin Hanich
Quentin Hanich
Developments in fisheries governance in recent decades—notably the1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and its implementing agreements—have established a framework o fprinciples, standards, institutions and regulations that is broade rand more complex than traditional fisheries management, which has generally focused o nindividual target species. As this framework has evolved, a number of seafood eco-labelling schemes have also developed. These schemes aim to identify well- managed fisheries and give competitive advantage to their products, thus translating the environmental awareness of consumers into direct support for sustainable fishing practices.This paper evaluates a number of these schemes in the …
Small Island States And The Los Convention 30 Years On: Have The Benefits Been Realised?, Ruth Davis, Quentin Hanich
Small Island States And The Los Convention 30 Years On: Have The Benefits Been Realised?, Ruth Davis, Quentin Hanich
Quentin Hanich
Although the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) is of great importance to a majority of countries, coastal states, naval powers and distant water fishing nations alike, there is a group of countries for whom the sea is such an integral part of their existence that the LOSC, as the “Constitution for the Oceans,” must be regarded as being of fundamental significance. The populations of these countries, comprised of one or more relatively small islands, find their way of life, indeed their very existence, dominated by the sea. The UN Secretary-General noted in 2011 that …
Closing The Gaps: Building Capacity In Pacific Fisheries Governance And Institutions, Quentin Hanich, Feleti Teo, Ben Tsamenyi
Closing The Gaps: Building Capacity In Pacific Fisheries Governance And Institutions, Quentin Hanich, Feleti Teo, Ben Tsamenyi
Quentin Hanich
Governance and institutions must function effectively if sustainable development and growth are to occur within the Pacific Islands region. In 2007, the FFA and the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF), supported by funding from AusAID, contracted Quentin Hanich, Feleti Teo and Professor Martin Tsamenyi to research governance and institutional gaps within the region that undermine the effective management and development of the region's fish stocks. Following an intensive round of interviews throughout the Pacific islands region by all three consultants, Mr Hanich authored a comprehensive report that discussed relevant governance and institutional gaps and recommended a number …
Exclusive Economic Zones And Pacific Developing Island States - Who Really Gets All The Fish?, Quentin A. Hanich, Ben M. Tsamenyi
Exclusive Economic Zones And Pacific Developing Island States - Who Really Gets All The Fish?, Quentin A. Hanich, Ben M. Tsamenyi
Quentin Hanich
The establishment of exclusive economic zones (EEZs), through the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC), changed the allocation of fishing rights. These zones allocated all fishing rights within 200 nautical miles of land to neighbouring coastal States. This change dramatically increased sovereign rights for Pacific small island States. In many cases, these States, with limited terrestrial resources, were allocated large resource rich EEZs that had previously been dominated by distant water fishing States. Distant water fishing States, concerned that they would lose access to 85-90% of the world's active fishing grounds, argued that the LOSC …
Moving Beyond Rights-Based Management: A Transparent Approach To Distributing The Conservation Burden And Benefit In Tuna Fisheries, Quentin A. Hanich, Yoshitaka Ota
Moving Beyond Rights-Based Management: A Transparent Approach To Distributing The Conservation Burden And Benefit In Tuna Fisheries, Quentin A. Hanich, Yoshitaka Ota
Quentin Hanich
Determining the distribution of the conservation burden and benefit is a critical challenge to the conservation and management of trans-boundary fish stocks. Given current levels of overfishing and overcapacity in many trans-boundary fisheries, some or all participating States must necessarily reach a compromise with regard to their interests and carry some share of the conservation burden. This article proposes a new approach to distributing the conservation burden and benefit in trans-boundary fisheries, and explores this approach in the world's largest tuna fishery: the tropical tuna fisheries of the western and central Pacific. Such an approach would enable Regional Fisheries Management …
