Human Dimensions of Great Lakes Fisheries Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Fishery Research Program (FRP) of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission includes as a research theme area “The Human Dimensions of Great Lakes Fisheries Management.” The term human dimensions refers to how and why humans value natural resources, how humans want resources managed, and how humans affect or are affected by natural resources management decisions. Human dimensions inquiries strive to understand human traits and how to incorporate that understanding into management planning and actions. It covers a variety of ideas and practices including cultural, social, and economic values; individual and social behavior; demographics; legal and institutional frameworks of management; communication and education; and, decision-making processes of management (Decker et al. 2001).

متن کاملDynamics of Fisheries that Affect the Population Growth Rate Coefficient
Conventional surplus production models indicate that destruction of fish populations by overfishing is difficult, if not impossible, but catastrophic declines in abundance of exploited populations are common. Surplus production models also do not predict large continuing fluctuations in yield, but large fluctuations in yield are common. Conventional surplus production models assume that fisheri...
