Development of marine recreational fisheries will help (1) to satisfy
the demands of a constantly growing number of recreational fishermen without
adversely affecting stressed fish populations; (2) to realize an economic gain
from presently underutilized stocks; (3) to promote or improve economic
development and employment opportunities in coastal communities; and (4) to
compensate for interannual fluctuations of stocks of target species of species
complexes. Both the benefits and constraints to recreational development must
be considered when determining why marine recreational fishing should be
further developed.

Threatened Status of Steller Sea Lions, Eumetopias jubatus, under the
Endangered Species Act: Effects on Alaska Groundfish Fisheries
Management. Marine Fisheries Review, 57(2):14-27.
In April 1990, the Steller sea lion, Eumetopias jubatus, was listed as
threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act by emergency action.
Competitive interactions with the billion dollar Alaska commercial groundfish
fisheries have been suggested as one of the possible contributing factors to
the Steller sea lion population decline. Since the listing, fisheries
managers have attempted to address the potential impacts of the groundfish
fisheries on Steller sea lion recovery. In this paper, we review pertinent
Federal legislation, biological information on the Steller sea lion decline,
changes in the Alaska trawl fishery for walleye pollock, Theragra
chalcogramma, since the late 1970's, and possible interactions between
fisheries and sea lions. Using three cases, we illustrate how the listing of
Steller sea lions has affected Alaska groundfish fisheries through: 1) actions
taken at the time of listing designed to limit the potential for direct humanrelated
sea lion mortality, 2) actions addressing spatial and temporal
separation of fisheries from sea lions, and 3) introduction of risk-adverse
stock assessment methodologies and Steller sea lion conservation
considerations directly in the annual quota setting process. This discussion
shows some of the ways that North Pacific groundfish resource managers have
begun to explicitly consider the conservation of marine mammal and other
nontarget species.
Frost, Hans (1984). "Fisheries Management and Uncertainty Within the
EEC." Marine Resource Economics, 1(1):97-103.
Fisheries management within the EEC is subject to ambiguous goal
formulations, ranging from the biological goal of maximum sustainable yield to
intangible political goals. The management body within the EEC consists of
various official and political committees that impose both bureaucratic and
political uncertainty on the fishing industry. It is argued here that, as a
result of this uncertainty, fishing effort in the short run will tend to rise,
but in the long run will tend to decline. It is also argued that the
reduction of uncertainty will depend on a more careful and less ambiguous goal
formulation.
