This project provides baseline information to fishery managers and
participants in the Hawaii based domestic longline fishery. The focus of
study was the 1993 Hawaii based domestic longline fleet. This fishery has
been a limited entry fishery since 1991. In 1993, there were 167 permits
issued to longline vessels, of which 122 vessels made at least one landing.
Total 1993 fleet landings as estimated by National Marine Fishery Service were
25 million pounds with an exvessel value of $55 million. This report provides
a summary of 1993 vessel operations and earnings; information on other years
can be expected to vary substantially.

This report provides a summary of 1993 vessel operations and earnings.
While the Hawaii longline fleet averaged a positive net return from their 1993
operations, the level of profits varied substantially between groups of
vessels. When analyzed by target species, mixed target vessels earned the
highest net return. Although the gross revenue earned by this group was less
than that earned by swordfish vessels, mixed vessels had somewhat lower
variable costs and substantially lower fixed costs.

The book deals with alternative methods of valuing outdoor recreational
resources in general and develops a theoretical framework for the valuation of
waterfowl in particular. Empirical results are derived from the waterfowl
valuation model, biometric relationships are posited and tested with mallard
data, crude cost-benefit analyses on existing prairie wetlands are determined,
and the questions of how many waterfowl and how many ponds are appropriate in
a dynamic setting is explored.

Level Rise in the Pacific Islands." Joint Working Group on Policy
and Planning Implications for Global Climate Change in the Pacific
Basin, Pacific Basin Development Council, UH Social Science
Research Institute.
This paper outlines the approach developed to address the five public
policy problems associated with global climate change in the Pacific Islands;
i.e. (1) the potential impacts of global climate change could be so
catastrophic that neither our policy makers nor the people we serve want to
consider the possibility; (2) compared to other policy issues, the potential
impacts of global warming appear much less immediate; (3) Pacific Island
countries and territories do not contribute even a fraction of global
emissions of greenhouse gases, and laws or domestic policies developed in the
islands to restrict emissions would have little or no impact on the
intensification of the greenhouse effect; (4) the lack of scientific certainty
about the relationships between emissions and global warming and between
warming and other environmental changes allows policy makers to dismiss the
problem; (5) policy makers have been provided with little guidance about what
they could possibly do about the global climate change and its impacts. It is
organized in terms of those policy problems and concludes with a brief
description of the methods to be employed in the pilot project.
