Transferable Shares in BC Salmon Fishery (Watershed Watch Salmon Society, 2007) - [download PDF]
The answer to the question—Would transferable shares provide a better chance of achieving the conservation objectives of the Wild Salmon Policy—is clear. The answer is yes. Compared to B.C. fisheries that are managed by transferable-share regimes, the salmon fishery scores poorly on both sustainability and economic-viability grounds. The current salmon-fishery management system is outdated and ineffective. A transferable-share fishery would be a much better way to manage the commercial salmon fishery and meet the conservation objectives of the Wild Salmon Policy. It may be the only way.
Economic impacts from a reduced groundfish trawl fishery in B.C. (2010) - [download PDF]
The British Columbia Ministry of Environment (MOE) retained GSGislason & Associates Ltd. to conduct an economic analysis of the groundfish trawl industry and its importance to coastal communities, and to assess the community impacts from a reduced trawl fishery.
A cautionary tale about ITQ fisheries - [link to website]
Ecotrust Canada has undertaken this analysis, not to argue for the dismantling of existing ITQ programs, but rather to improve their design, and to inform policy discussions about new ITQ pilot programs currently under consideration.

A policy analysis of the B.C. salmon fishery (2003) - [download PDF]
Between 1996 and 2001 the Government of Canada implemented a multi-million dollar program to restructure and revitalize the British Columbia wild salmon fishery in order to avoid an economic and ecological collapse. This paper provides a brief history of BC salmon fishery policy with emphasis on the restructuring of the 1990s, documents the current state of the fishery, and provides an analysis of four policy options: the current, restructured fishery; a licence auction and landings tax regime; the allocation of river-specific, exclusive ownership and harvesting rights (with cooperative ownership on the Fraser River); and the implementation of individual transferable harvesting quotas (ITQs). Each policy is evaluated in terms of three major goals: economic efficiency, resource preservation, and equity. The analysis indicates that river-specific, exclusive ownership rights together with cooperative ownership on the Fraser are most likely to achieve the best mix of these goals.
Three essays on the economics of fishing (2003) - [download PDF]
UBC Fisheries Centre Report Volume 11 – Three Essays on the Economics of Fishing – Economics drive fisheries. Morover, economics often acts through subsides and high discount rates, both devestating to fish stocks. Topics include the ‘perverse incentives’ known as buyback (decommisioning schemes), Intergenerational Discoutning. Case study of Atlantic Cod and Integenerational Discounting.
Native participation in British Columbia Commercial Fisheries (2003) - [download PDF]
This report focuses on only one component of participation in fisheries – participation
in harvesting for commercial purposes. Native individuals, corporations and organizations have had a long history of involvement in commercial fish harvesting in British Columbia. This participation can be described in a number of ways, including licence holdings, employment and estimated share of overall landed value.
Response to Michelle James' report on Native participation in commercial fisheries (2007) - [download PDF]
A number of people have misunderstood or conveniently misinterpreted a paper by Michelle James titled “Native Participation in British Columbia Commercial Fisheries – 2003”. Some people have claimed the paper shows that Indians now have 40% of commercial fishing licences, or that Indians get 40% of the commercial catch. These claims are often used as an argument for not providing any more fish to First Nations under treaty settlements. These claims and inferences are wrong as the James paper does not say that Indians hold 40% of licences or caught 40% of weight or value of catch. However, using the James figures can be misleading because licences held by individual Indian fishermen are combined with those held by First Nations and presented as a single figure.

River to Plate Report (2009) - [download PDF]
This report is a five-year effort to define the attributes of a First Nations strategy for their economic salmon fisheries in the Fraser River by 2012. The following report on 2009 activities has been designed to illustrate ways in which First Nations are working to implement their vision. The River to Plate framework is defined by their collaborations as they experiment with demonstration economic fisheries on the Fraser River.
Our Future Harvest (2004) - [download PDF]
This report outlines a new approach to resource allocation that can be implemented by joint agreement between the federal and provincial governments and the Coastal First Nations in advance of full, definitive treaty settlements.
