Fisheries Management
Project Summary
Motu and Resources for the Future (Washington DC) have jointly conducted economic research on fisheries management in New Zealand.
The research examined the role and effectiveness of market-based instruments as fisheries management tools. In particular, it empirically evaluated the effects of implementing New Zealand’s individual transferable quota (ITQ) programme.
Information about and documentation for Motu’s fisheries dataset can be found in our data library.
