“As I wrote last March: those of us who have
looked to the self-interest of lending institutions
to protect shareholder’s equity (myself
especially) are in a state of shocked disbelief.”
[Testimony of Dr. Alan Greenspan
House Committee of Government Oversight and Reform
October 23, 2008]

“I made a mistake in presuming that
the self-interest of organizations,
specifically banks and others, were
such is that they were best capable
of protecting their own shareholders
and their equity in the firms.”

My perspective:
We need to be much more careful (and precise) about the words we are using here.
Oh, and I object to your conference title…
![Page 6: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What do you mean by rights based? In what sense are rights involved and what kind of
rights? In what sense is a particular program based on rights?
![Page 7: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“Rights”??
Human Rights?Indigenous Rights?
User Rights?Tenure Rights?
Beware of
“Strategically Benign Rhetoric“ [Macinko. 2014]

A case study:
Amendment 16– the “sector” program for the New England groundfish fishery,
But this occurs within
The context of “rights based fishing”

ITQs are part of one of the great institutional changes of our times: the enclosure and privatization of the common
resources of the ocean. These are now mostly the exclusive property of the coastal states of the world. [Neher et al.

Only one problem:
Fundamentally Conceptually Confused
![Page 16: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Management ≠ Ownership

Confusing science with lawConfusing “Interests” with “rights”Confusing “incentives” with “rights”
Confusing a simple tool with an ideology…

In the fishing context, the term rights
refers to an interest that a person or a
collective can claim to have in terms of
access to a fish stock or to the harvest
from it.
[Neher et al. 1989:5, emphasis in original]
![Page 21: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Thinking clearly about graduate students
and beans, teenage pizza parties, kids sharing slurpees. etc.
![Page 22: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
(Imagine a slide showing graduate students
performing an exercise with a bowl of dried
beans to simulate a) an open access fishery
and b) a fishery where catch is pre-assigned)
(this is not a fiction, it is a teaching tool being
used all over, only pre-assigned catch is often being interpreted as involving property rights)
![Page 23: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rules and rights are not the same thing.
Rights and incentives are not the same thing.
![Page 24: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A simple tool:
Take an overall catch limit and divide it into individual assignments that each boat can fish where and when they want to (subject to whatever other rules apply).
![Page 25: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A Failure to Distinguish the Tool from the Ideology
Tool: pre-assigned catch
Ideology: insistence that the tool must be private property and only “works” if it is
![Page 26: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
On the origin of “catch shares”
IFQs are not property rights-based fishing, they are catch share-based fishing… Once this conceptual breakthrough is realized, the tool (catch shares) can be liberated from the ideology (private property), and in the process open up the menu of available policy options. [Macinko and Bromley, 2002:29]
![Page 27: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Why does this matter?
Policy options are being forced off the table by ideological dogmatism and conceptual
confusion spread to others.
There are many ways that pre-assigned catch could be used.
![Page 29: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Actually, I would have to go much further in saying that I was shocked at learning the
degree to which the regulatory agenda in this area had already been captured by some
fisheries economists with an extreme "property rights" interpretation of harvesting quotas, which essentially preempts a serious consideration of [other standard economic tools] from the discussion table [Weitzman
2002:326 n.2].

Accountability…
Unintended Consequences?

There are no unintended consequences.
[if that is too strong for you: It is the intended consequences many of you should be focused on, not
the unintended ones…]

“The [snapper] fleet could rationalize by as much as 75-90%.... as the majority of the fleet lands less than 10k lbs in a year.”

Despite all the words about design flexibility….
At every critical policy turn, market fundamentalism precludes a serious
conversation about goals.

And so in New England…..
“maybe we should consider some controls like they did in Alaska…“
but the answer from the very people bringing you “fisheries as investable
propositions” was: “No”

“Between 2009 and 2010, the sector’s groundfishlandings declined 61 percent and groundfish gross revenue declined by 52 percent. The Sector 10’s total revenue loss of $1,567,000 would have been significantly higher if not for a dramatic and unsustainable shift in effort by fishermen to non-groundfish species (lobster, dogfish, skate, etc). This shift in effort to non-groundfish species does not come without costs, and is likely to have negative conservation and management implications for other fisheries.”
![Page 52: A perspective on (rights-based) approaches as a management tool: Words – and lives – matter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587ec7ac1a28abf37b8b65d3/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
“Evaluating the true impacts of this sector management program throughout the groundfishfishery is complicated because not all sectors are homogenous. We do, however, see evidence of a fisheries disaster caused by the transition to catch shares, with a disproportionate impact on small boat (30 – 50’) owners, which have been hampered by their limited range and limited access to quota.”

Are we seriously talking about evicting peasants (through this wet enclosure
