Description
The papers published in this special issue of Marine Resource Economics were initially presented at the Workshop on Advances in Property Rights Based Fisheries Management held in Reykjavik, Iceland, August 27-29, 2006. This workshop was organized by RSE, an Icelandic think tank, with financial support from the Ministry of Fisheries in Iceland, the Federation of Icelandic Fishing Vessel Owners, and Iceland's commercial banks Glitnir and Landsbanki Islands. On behalf of the RSE, I use this opportunity to thank these sponsors for their generous support. I also thank my co-editor, Professor Rognvaldur Hannesson, for his help with the peer review process. Finally, thanks are due to The MRE Foundation, as represented by the editor, Professor James Anderson, and the technical editor, Barbara Harrison, for its support of this project. Hopefully, it will not be seen as too much of a simplification to claim that economic science has generated three fundamental perspectives on the fisheries problem. One is the externality perspective. Another is the fisheries game perspective, and the third is the property rights perspective. These perspectives are by no means mutually exclusive. On the contrary, they complement each other. This does not mean that they are equivalent, however. One of them may be more illuminating or, more importantly, of greater help in improving fisheries than the others. The fundamental motivation for the workshop that generated the papers in this issue was that, at least when it comes to the practice of fisheries management, the property rights perspective is the most useful.
