Why SSF are important in “good fisheries economics”?
FISHING EXTERNALITIES
•Socio-economic examples•Territorial equilibrium•The impact of fisheries in the social and economic structures of costal communities
•Environmental examples•Discards and unwanted captures•Climate change•Impacts in the sea bottom
Why SSF are important in “good fisheries economics”?
Externalities are important because:
•Limit the use of market mechanisms: The market by itself does not lead us to the most “efficient use of resources”. Delinks the connection between individual and public efficiency.
•Alternative fishing methods and practices do have different types of externalities. Sustainable SSFs are very good dealing with externalities!
Why SSF are important in “good fisheries economics”?
Taking specific measures to support SSF is a way to establish a level field with the
fleet segments with poorer externalities records
CFP should try to decrease bad externalities and potentiate good ones in
all the fleet and all the cases

3. Proposals
4. Conclusions
• Low environmental impact
• Low levels of discards
• Low CO2 emissions
• High level of good quality of
employments
• Compliance with legislation
1. Introduce environmental and social criteria in the access to resources management
1. Continuous and adaptative mechanism to
decrease externalities and foster
innovation
2. It is useful for all kind of fleets (inter and
intra-fleet) and it will benefit specially SSF
3. It introduces coherence between “use of
natural resources” and “financial”
mechanisms
1. Introduce environmental and social criteria in the access to resources management
1. Introduce them in the basic regulation as a
general rule for multiannual plans
2. Introduce them in the fishing opportunities
allocation criteria. Increase 5% reserve
progressively + distribute access
considering criteria
3. Link financial instruments to those criteria
1. Introduce environmental and social criteria in the access to resources management
1. Fix an implementation timetable
2. Define interim procedures
3. Introduce of co-management committees
4. Link objectives and finance
2. Ensure well designed and stronger multiannual plans
1. Include precautionary principle and
ecosystem approach in SFAs
2. Ensure that cost of access to the fisheries
resources SFAs are covered by the
industry
3. Ensure exclusivity clause
4. Promote participation of SSF in the
negotiation process
3. There are SSF far from the EU, so…
