OECD 2006 Financial Support to Fisheries: Implications for Sustainable Development |
| Description |
|
The purpose of this 2006 report is to explore the range of economic, environmental and
social effects of financial support to the fisheries sector in OECD countries. The analysis
is undertaken within a sustainable development paradigm, emphasising the effects within,
and the interactions between, the three pillars of sustainable development under various
fisheries policy settings. This approach expands on the relatively narrow focus on the
trade and environmental aspects of support programs that has characterised much of the
debate to date and seeks to ensure that a more holistic perspective is taken on this
important policy area. Given that OECD countries provide support to the sector to meet a
range of economic, environmental and social objectives, such a holistic approach will
provide greater insight into the efficacy of different types of support in meeting policy
objectives, identify actual and potential areas of policy incoherence, and highlight any
trade-offs that may need to be undertaken in addressing policy goals. |
