L.C. Hanson (eds.) The Continental Shelf: Resource Boundaries.
Proceedings from the 9 th Annual Conference, Center for Ocean
Management Studies, University of Rhode Island, June 16-19.
This paper discusses the concepts, methods, and results of an economic
analysis of the nonrenewable resources of the outer continental shelf as part
of a five year leasing program.
Rosen, Sherwin (1974). "Hedonic Prices and Implicit Markets: Product
Differentiation in Pure Competition." Journal of Political
Economy, :34-54.
A class of differentiated products is completely described by a vector
of objectively measured characteristics. Observed product prices and the
specific amounts of characteristics associated with each good define a set of
implicit or "hedonic" prices. A theory of hedonic prices is formulated as a
problem in the economics of spatial equilibrium in which the entire set of
implicit prices guides both consumer and producer locational decisions in
characteristics space, buyer and seller choices, as well as the meaning and
nature of market equilibrium, are analyzed. Empirical implications for
hedonic price regressions and index number construction are pointed out.

and New Directions. In Karyn L. Gimbel (ed.) Limiting Access to Marine
Fisheries: Keeping the Focus on Conservation, Center for Marine
Conservation and the World Wildlife Fund, Washington, D.C.
Most U.S. fisheries are open access. There are currently only 5 fishery
management plans (out of 43) that control access to the resources they cover.
However, some form of limited access has been approved by Fishery Management
Councils for another 15 fisheries and limited access is being considered in 12
more cases. In most of the plans, a moratorium on new entrants has closed
access. In a number of others, individual transferable quota systems are
being developed.

Management Reference Points and Management Strategies. TCPA/BP4,
Technical Consultation on the Precautionary Approach to Capture
Fisheries (TCPA), FAO Scientific Meeting, Lysekil, Sweden, May, 13 pp.
The precautionary approach to fishery management seeks to protect
fishery resources from fishing practices that may put their long term
viability in jeopardy. To take appropriate precautions, fishing activities
may need to be controlled even before there is clear scientific evidence that
current practices can not be sustained by the resource. To develop fishery
control policies, biological reference points are needed for measuring current
resource status and the projected effects of fishing.

A panel of biologists reviewed all of the current definitions of
overfishing from a technical standpoint and reported on their strengths and
weaknesses for conserving fishery resources.
