number of exploiters in terms of the conjecture, the elasticity of input
productivity, and the price elasticity of market demand. Consistent
conjectures-those that agree with reality-imply the full tragedy of the
commons and zero profits for the exploiters.
Mason, Janet E. (1995). Species Trends in Sport Fisheries, Monterey Bay,
Calif., 1959-86. Marine Fisheries Review, 57(1):1-16.
Three surveys spanning 28 years were examined for changes in species
caught by recreational fishermen from small boats (skiffs) and commercial
passenger fishing vessels (CPFV s) in California s Monterey Bay region. As
fishing effort increased, the catch of certain nearshore species of rockfish,
Sebastes spp., declined. CPFV fishing was conducted farther from port and in
deeper water to compensate for declining abundance while most skiffs remained
in traditional areas close to port. The trend toward deeper water CPFV
fishing has been interrupted only temporarily by increased availability of
nearshore species. Life history characteristics of rockfish including
residential behavior, variable recruitment, and natural longevity contribute
to a vulnerability to localized overfishing for several species.

Management. NOAA Center for Coastal Ecosystem Health, 1950 South

A workshop report that provides coastal resource managers, agency, and
academic economists in the Southeast Region the opportunity to work together
to understand the application of the tools of environmental economics in the
management of coastal resources. The introduction gives readers an
understanding of the applications and limitations of the document. Section 2
explores the role of economics in issues of environmental management. The
history of environmental economics is included, with brief descriptions of
early theory and the evolving role economics plays in coastal management
decisions. Social welfare is also addressed, with special emphasis placed on
non-market values. Finally, specific areas in which economics can aid in the
decision making process are presented. Section 3 contains a summary of the
range of economic tools available to coastal resource managers. In the fourth
section, coastal zone decision making is addressed. Finally (section 5) the
concerns and experiences participants shared with the group as a whole and in
break out group sessions during the workshop are described.
