Canada are reviewed and evaluated in terms of the conservation objectives,
economic efficiency, equity, and administrative/political feasibility. These
programs are seen as diverse both in their design and the success achieved.
Further use of license control is expected, requiring better information on
consequences for multipurpose and multispecies fisheries. Although fishermen
are extensively involved in the design of license limitation programs, new
techniques for obtaining the views of fishermen are needed.

What are the economic consequences of policies that allocate fishing
opportunities between recreational and commercial fishing fleets? Too many
answers to this complex and difficult question are simple, understandable, and
wrong. The debate over the appropriate use of input-output analysis and its
relationship with the calculation of net economic benefits was a central part
of national debates about public investments that took place in the 1960's and
1970's. The conclusion of this paper is that this is an unsettled question,
but one worth serious investigation.

Fishery Management Tool. University of Washington Press, Seattle.
This book is the report of the workshop and conference whose objective
was to consider whether limited entry programs might contribute to better
management of the commercial fisheries of the United States and, if so, where,
when, and how they could be employed.

Concept of Subsidies." Draft, Congressional report on the Role of
Subsidies in Developing Excess Capacity, June, 30 pp.
An explanation of the definition used to describe subsidies that
increase capacity in U.S. domestic fisheries. A subsidy is essentially a
government action (inaction) that modifies (by increasing or decreasing) the
potential profits earned by the firm in either the short or long run. A
classification scheme for American subsidies is developed and compared to the
definition adopted by the World Trade Organization.

Areal Extent of Coastal Wetlands in Estuaries of the Gulf of
Mexico." National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
Rockville, MD 20852, November, 19 pp.
This paper is a preliminary report describing the areal extent and
distribution of coastal wetlands in the six states, 157 counties, 23 estuarine
drainage areas (EDA) of the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Mexico. The wetlands
data are based entirely on an evaluation of National Wetland Inventory (NWI)
maps produced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Currently, data have
been completed for the wetlands of the New England region and an atlas has
been published entitled, National Estuarine Inventory Data Atlas; Vol. 3:
Coastal Wetlands of the New England Region.
