Conference Paper Fisheries Management and Enforcement in a Danish Perspective(1995) Raakjær-Nielsen, Jesper; Joker, Lars"The paper describes the fisheries management and enforcement system in Denmark. Denmark is a member of the European Union (EU) and therefore subjected to EU policies. The paper examines the organization of the Danish enforcement institutions and portrays how the inspection is carried out in practice. The paper describes the different sanctions in the event of infringements and finally the paper summarizes the main problems of the present enforcement regime."Conference Paper Fisheries Co-Management: An Alternative Strategy in Fisheries -- Cases from Denmark(1995) Raakjær-Nielsen, Jesper; Vedsmand, Tomas"Sustainable and efficient use of fisheries resources is closely linked to the legitimacy of fisheries management schemes. Legitimacy depends on the content of the rules and the participation of user-groups in the decision-making process. The paper analyzes the organization of the fisheries management system, in particular the influence of user-participation in decision-making. Theories of common property resources and institutions are adapted to fisheries and a framework for the analysis of co-management institutions is developed. Two Danish case studies of user-participation are examined to analyze how co-management arrangements are functioning and how they impact on efficiency, equity and sustainability of fisheries resources exploitation."Conference Paper Fisheries Co-Management; A Worldwide, Collaborative Research Project(1995) Pomeroy, Robert S.; Sverdrup-Jensen, Sten; Raakjær-Nielsen, Jesper"There is a need for rapid and substantial evolution of existing fisheries management systems in developing countries to support sustainable resource use. It is unlikely that local communities can accomplish this change on their own. But neither can the national government accomplish it entirely through bureaucratic instruments. There must evolve a more dynamic partnership using the capacities and interests of the local community, complemented by the ability of the national government to provide enabling legislation and institutions and other assistance. This partnership can be called co-management, where the national government and the community share authority for fisheries management. "ICLARM, with funding from DANIDA, has embarked on a fiveyear worldwide research project on fisheries co-management. The research project will address issues of co-management at both the national and community levels. The research framework provides for a structural approach to examining and documenting the origin, current status, operation and performance of fisheries management systems. Institutional analysis, which examines how institutional arrangements, the set of rights and rules by which a community organizes activities and which affect use behavior and incentives, will provide the basic research framework for studying fisheries management institutions. "In the paper, we will provide details on the overall project objectives and scope, the research framework, project structures, and activities to date. It is hoped that presentation of the project framework at this meeting will provide feedback for improvement."
