Estimating Violation Risk for Fisheries Regulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The United States sets fishing regulations to sustain healthy fish populations. The overall goal of the research reported on here is to increase the efficiency of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) when boarding commercial fishing vessels to ensure compliance with those regulations. We discuss scoring rules that indicate whether a given vessel might be in violation of the regulations, depend on knowledge learned from historical data, and support the decision to board and inspect. We present a case study from work done in collaboration with USCG District 1 (HQ in Boston).

متن کاملCan fisheries management be quantified?
Policy efforts to reduce fisheries impact have often created micro-management. Detailed regulations are restricting the fishing industry, and are also acknowledged to limit the progress towards sustainable management. Industry representatives, political bodies and scientists have therefore argued for more simplicity and transparency. Here, fisheries management is quantified in terms of trends i...
متن کاملIncentives for compliance behaviour - lessons from Danish fisheries -
