Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
This document provides insights into the meeting on resource sharing in the Western Tuna and Billfish Fishery that was held,against a backdrop of an agreed resource sharing policy framework, and with the cooperation of stakeholders represented by cohesive sector bodies. Despite these seeming advantages, there was broad dissatisfaction with the outcomes. This paper contends that this negative outcome can be attributed to a failure of the Commonwealth government to adequately define the property right which existed at the beginning of the process, a failure of the Commonwealth government to adequately fund the investigations needed in the resource sharing process, a fundamentally flawed treatment of existing property rights by the Commonwealth Minister and a series of circumstances which allowed the process to 'drag on' over a period of some years. The long time lines of this process were costly to the stakeholders both in financial terms, and in terms of difficulties in the social process with constituent members losing patience with the Government as time passed. This contributed to the dissatisfaction, and resulted in a feeling that stakeholder expectations had not been met.
