Safeguards and policy design in Nordic fisheries

The chapter reviews the technical and regulative aspects of market-based fisheries management in Nordic countries by addressing the questions of market segmentation, regional balances, concentration, resource rent taxation and governance. The main focus is on the social aspects and less on economic and environmental policy objectives. The main point is that the politically and publicly desired diversity will have to be introduced through the design of market-based fisheries management – including subsequent modifications of already existing regulation.
