Abstract

Over 20 years ago, SAMUDRA Report saw fishing quotas as an attempt by the industrial fleet to take over marine living resources traditionally caught by small-scale and artisanal fishers (see “Flashback”, page 52). Individual and collective fishing quotas are now employed in manifold forms in several countries not only to allocate fishing opportunities, but, ostensibly, also to reduce overcapacity and overfishing. In the case of collective quotas, one objective is to take account of the vulnerability of small-scale fisheries in the face of competition from industrial fishing, and to ring-fence their fishing rights.
