makers about the implications of uncertainties in fisheries management,
regardless of whether decisions are made in a risk-neutral or a risk-adverse,
precautionary context. In addition, we discuss the findings of cognitive
psychologists on how best to communicate information about uncertainties to
managers, user groups and scientists. Finally, in situations where weak data
create large uncertainties, institutional mechanisms that internalize
feedbacks may create incentives for a longer term viewpoint among harvesters.

Aransas, Texas.
A major undertaking was the collection and compilation of information on
the distribution and relative abundance of the animals taken in trawls in the
brown shrimp fishery as a base for ecological studies and more generally they
add considerably to the general picture of the fauna of the western Gulf.

This report attempts to evaluate the impacts of all types of fishing

Case No. 4:98cv01-RH, United States District Court for the Northern
District of Florida, Tallahassee Division.
A decision on the law suit by the Texas Shrimp Association that charge
among other things that the economic analysis was done incorrectly. The judge
found that the economic analysis was done well and that a finding of a
negative net benefit for a regulation is not sufficient for that regulation to
be dismissed. Other factors can be taken into consideration in determining if
a regulation can be promulgated. The summary judgement requested by the
plaintiffs was denied.

Quantifying the effects of nitrogen enrichment on phytoplankton in
coastal ecosystems. The results of three different approaches are used to
investigate relationships between nitrogen availability and phytoplankton
primary production and abundance in coastal ecosystems. The three approaches
are controlled experiments in marine enclosures, history of changes in coastal
ecosystems, and cross system comparisons. Most systems can be expected to
have increased primary production with increased nitrogen loadings or long
term average concentration. Nitrogen availability alone is not a very precise
predictor of phytoplankton production or abundance. The magnitude of the
change in phytoplankton production or abundance found for most systems is
typically in the range of 1.4 to 3 times for a doubling in nitrogen loading or
concentration. However, there are coastal ecosystems that have not followed
the general relationships found. Until the characteristics that sets those
systems apart from other systems can be identified, there is no guarantee that
