Economic Impacts of Marine Resource Management: Fisheries, Farming The Ocean and Consumers of Seafood

I will address the following objectives in this research.Develop mathematical models to explore cooperative fishing behavior (e.g., information sharing and coordinated search) and fisherman adaptation to marine resource management (e.g., marine protected areas and coastal pollution).Extend empirical models to quantify the impact of marine resource management actions (e.g., siting aquaculture in shared coastal waters and gear restrictions) on marine resource users (e.g., commercial and recreational fishermen, and riparian landowners).Extend mathematical and empirical models to explore the connections between risk perceptions, risk preferences, safety information, and demand for seafood.
