Description:Management measures were considered at the Pacific Fishery Management Council in Fall 2013 to reduce North Pacific bluefin tuna population impacts due to U.S. west coast recreational fishing. The question of whether and how to regulate the west coast recreational fishery involves a potential tradeoff of conservation benefits to the bluefin tuna stock in exchange for negative short-run economic impacts of regulation on the west coast recreational anglers who include bluefin tuna among their catch species and affected industries and communities. Over time, if the management measures are successful and the stock rebounds, net benefits should become positive. This paper presents the results of an analysis of potential economic impacts and benefits to the North Pacific bluefin tuna stock for a range of alternatives including bag limits and other measures to manage bluefin tuna catch in the Southern California recreational commercial passenger fishing vessel fishery.
