TURF-Reserves
Designing Effective Area-Based Catch Shares
K. Beadle
What is a TURF-Reserve?
Exclusive fishing privileges in a defined area
Usually allocated to Cooperatives
Accountable to catch limit or other controls on fishing mortality
No-take reserve provides additional protections for fish stocks
Why TURFs?
Enable local management
Compatible with other spatial management
Multi-species / ecosystem approach
Benefit local communities
Practical or accepted for some fisheries
No-take reserves
K. Beadle
When TURFs are paired with no-take reserves
Fishermen in the TURF benefit from the no-take reserve
Fishermen are incentivized to enforce the no-take reserve

Scaling according to the biology of the stock is important for sustainability

Scaling according to social factors affects incentives
Biological functional unit
A self-sustaining fish stock
Social functional unit
A group of people with the ability to organize
Sometimes design is simple
