Increasing Returns from Fisheries: Do's and Don'ts for Policy Makers
Leonard, R. Keith | October 2010
Abstract
Around US$1.95 billion is added annually to the Pacific island economies from the fisheries sector.1 The tuna industry is the substantial contributor, but other off shore fisheries, coastal fisheries, freshwater fisheries, and aquaculture are also important. Returns have grown slowly and many governments have sought various means to extract greater economic benefits from the industry. The success or otherwise of these actions provide a wealth of lessons.
