Comparison of Three Individual Transferable Quato Fisheries

9318878麦凯这个项目涉及罗格斯大学一位文化人类学家的研究。将研究北美三个渔业管理系统的渔民和管理者的行为：大西洋中部地区的大西洋文蛤渔业、新斯科舍省的近岸底层鱼渔业和纽芬兰的小型近岸拖网渔业。该项目将采访工人关于被称为“个人可转让配额”(ITQs)的共同财产管理制度。这些措施旨在恢复市场监管的一些积极影响，并改善渔民养护的激励措施。这个项目很重要，因为它将促进我们对一个重要的自然资源系统--我们的渔业--的管理和养护的了解。更好地理解态度、行为、激励模式、努力、所有权和治理，将有助于为公众和专业人士提供关于自然资源保护的辩论。***

9318878 McCay This project involves the research of a cultural anthropologist from Rutgers University. The behavior of fishermen and managers in three fishery management systems in North America will be studied: the Atlantic sea clam fishery in the Mid-Atlantic region, the inshore groundfish fishery in Nova Scotia, and the small inshore dragger fishery in Newfoundland. The project will interview workers about the common-property management system known as "individual transferable quotas" (ITQs). These are intended to restore some of the positive effects of market regulation and improve incentives of fishers to conserve. This project is important because it will advance our understanding of the management and conservation of a vital natural resource system: our fisheries. Better understanding of the attitudes, behavior, patterns of incentives, effort, ownership and governance will help inform public and professional debate about natural resource conservation. ***
