Overfishing
and environmental damage, and overcapitalisation (too
much fishing effort). |

To
conserve fish for present and future generations; to protect
the environment and minimise negative externalities, such
as by-catch. This discussion could include MFish's role
in fisheries management (research, access/allocation and
compliance). |

Output
controls attempt to directly control the catch level (output).
They include all forms of quota. The catch is limited
and usually set annually. This system has the advantage
that management focuses on the key issue, which is the
amount removed from the fish population. If the information
is good, and if quotas are not exceeded, then fishers
have secure rights and can invest in their business and
plan ahead. Input controls deal with the way fish are
caught, but don't directly control how much is caught. |

a |
There
was no compulsory transfer of harvest rights (ITQ)
from commercial fishers to settle the claim, so
other commercial fishers were not really affected;
the dividends from Sealord can be returned to iwi. |
|
b |
For
example, the new legal environment for protecting
customary non-commercial fishing interests was not
clear; the Maori shareholding in Sealord would not
necessarily involve many Maori in the fishing industry. |
