Nachwuchsforschergruppe B1 Lebende Ressourcen und Überfischung des Kieler Exzellenzclusters Ozean der Zunkunft
|
| |
November 2007 - September 2011
|
| |
Das Forschungsgebiet der Juniorforschergruppe ist die nachhaltige Fischereiwirtschaft.
Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen massiven Überfischung der Meere sollen neue Fischereimanagement-Konzepte entwickelt werden, die eine nachhaltige Fischerei fördern. Dazu verfolgt die Juniorforschergruppe einen neuen interdisziplinären Ansatz, bei dem Spezialisten aus den Bereichen Populationsbiologie, mariner Ökologie und Mathematik eng mit Ökonomen zusammenarbeiten.

Socio economic effects of management measures of the future CFP (SOCIOEC)
|
| |
April 2012 - March 2015
|
| |
SOCIOEC is an interdisciplinary, European wide project bringing together scientists from several fisheries sciences with industry partners and other key stakeholders to work in an integrated manner on solutions for future fisheries management, that can be implemented at a regional level. The central concept is to provide a mechanism for developing measures that are consistent with the overarching sustainability objectives of the EU, and that can provide consensus across all stakeholders. The first step will be to develop a coherent and consistent set of management objectives, which will address ecological; economic and social sustainability targets. The objectives should be consistent with the aims of the CFP, MSFD and other EU directives, but they should also be understandable by the wider stakeholder community and engage their support. This will then lead to the proposal of a number of potential management measures, based on existing or new approaches. The second step will be to analyze the incentives for compliance provided by these measures. In particular, we will examine fisher's responses and perceptions of these measures, based on historical analysis as well as direct consultation and interviews. This project part will also examine how the governance can be changed to facilitate self- and co-management to ensure fisher buy-in to promising management measures. In particular, the project will focus on the interpretation of overarching (i.e. EU) objectives in local and regional contexts. Finally, the project will examine the impacts of the management measures that emerge from this process, particularly in terms of their economic and social impacts. The IA analysis will be integrated by evaluating the proposed measures against the criteria of effectiveness, efficiency and coherence. Special attention will be paid in evaluating the proposed management measures' performance in terms of their ability to achieve the general and specific ecological objectives.

Maximising yield of fisheries while balancing ecosystem, economic and social concerns (MYFISH)
|
| |
April 2012 - March 2015
|
| |
The MSY concept was included as a principle in the 2009 Green Paper on the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in accordance with the global imperative to manage fish stocks according to the maximum sustainable yield (MSY). This implies a commitment to direct management of fish stocks towards achieving MSY by 2015. Attaining this goal is complicated by the lack of common agreement on the interpretation of "sustainability" and "yield" and by the effects that achieving MSY for one stock may have on other stocks and broader ecosystem, economic, or social aspects. MYFISH will provide definitions of MSY variants which maximize other measures of "yield" than biomass and which account for the fact that single species rarely exist in isolation. Further, MYFISH will redefine the term "sustainable" to signify that Good Environmental Status (MSFD) is achieved and economically and socially unacceptable situations are avoided, all with acceptable levels of risk. In short, MYFISH aims at integrating the MSY concept with the overarching principals of the CFP: the precautionary and the ecosystem approach. MYFISH will achieve this objective through addressing fisheries in all RAC areas and integrating stakeholders (the fishing industry, NGOs and managers) throughout the project. Existing ecosystem and fisheries models will be modified to perform maximization of stakeholder approved yield measures while ensuring acceptable impact levels on ecosystem, economic and social aspects. Implementation plans are proposed and social aspects addressed through active involvement of stakeholders. Finally, effects of changes in environment, economy and society on MSY variants are considered, aiming at procedures rendering the MSY approach robust to such changes. The expertise of 26 partners from relevant disciplines including fisheries, ecosystem, economic and social science are involved in all aspects of the project. Global experience is engaged from North America and the South Pacific.

Effiziente inter- und intragenerationell gerechte Nutzung
von Ökosystemdienstleistungen (EIGEN)
|
| |
Juli 2010 - Juni 2013
|
| |
Das gemeinsame Projekt mit dem Lehrstuhl für
Nachhaltigkeitsökonomik der Leuphana Universität
Lüneburg wird finanziert durch das Bundesministerium für
Bildung und Forschung (BMBF). Weitere Projektpartner sind Christian Becker, Pennsylvania State University, USA, und
Ralf Döring, Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institut,
Bundesforschungsinstitut für Ländliche Räume, Wald und
Fischerei, Institut für Seefischerei, Hamburg
Im Kontext der nachhaltigen
Nutzung und Bewahrung von Biodiversitaät und Ökosystemdienstleistungen
unter Unsicherheit untersuchen wir mögliche Konflikte zwischen
den drei Zielvorstellungen, die im allgemeinen Leitbild der Nachhaltigkeit
enthalten sind: (i) intergenerationelle Gerechtigkeit, (ii) intragenerationelle
Gerechtigkeit und (iii) ökonomische Effizienz. Das Vorhaben verfolgt wissenschaftliche
und anwendungsorientierte Ziele auf drei Ebenen: 1. Konzeptionelle
Grundlegung der Nachhaltigkeitsökonomik. 2. Integrierte Beurteilung
von Institutionen und Instrumenten der Nachhaltigkeitspolitik im
Hinblick auf Gerechtigkeit und Effizienz. 3. Entwicklung umsetzbarer Handlungsstrategien
für die nachhaltige Biodiversitäts- und Fischereipolitik.

FACTS - Forage Fish Interactions
|
| |
Januar 2010 - Dezember 2012
|
| |
FACTS - Foraging Fish Interactions, funded by the European Commission (FP7),
deals with the questions of 1. What are the consequences of forage fish fisheries on (a) predator growth and abundance, (b) economic output of fisheries on piscivorous species, and (c) ecosystem stability and the risk for regime shifts? and 2. What are the consequences of changes in predator populations on forage fish populations and fisheries?
Our group will perform cost-benefit analyses of Baltic fisheries, in particular focusing on Cod/Sprat interactions, using a stochastic multi-species fishery model.

BIOACID - Biological Impacts of Ocean Acidification
|
| |
September 2009 - August 2012
|
| |
BIOACID - Biological Impacts of Ocean Acidification, funded by the German
Federal Ministry of Education and Research, deals with the questions of 1. What
are the effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms and their habitat,
2. What are the underlying mechanisms of responses and possible adaptations on
the level of populations and communities, how are they modulated by other
environmental stressors, and 3. What are the consequences for marine ecosystems, ocean biogeochemical cycles, and possible feedbacks to the climate system?
Our group will further develop the ecological-economic viability-method towards a general approach for integrated assessment of human actions influencing ocean acidification and the consequences for human well-being that takes uncertainties about future development into account.

Nachhaltige Nutzung von Ökosystemdienstleistungen unter Unsicherheit: Ökologisch-ökonomische Modellierung und Evaluierung volkswirtschaftlicher Politikoptionen.
|
| |
Februar 2007 - Juli 2010
|
| |
Das gemeinsame Projekt mit dem Lehrstuhl für Nachhaltigkeitsökonomik der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg und dem Department ökologische Systemanalyse des Helmholtz Zentrum für Umweltforschung - UFZ wird finanziert durch das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF).
Ziele des Projektes sind: (i) Entwicklung und Anwendung eines starken Nachhaltigkeitskriteriums, das operationalisierbar ist für gekoppelte dynamische ökologische-ökonomische Systeme und insbesondere dem Aspekt der Unsicherheit Rechnung trägt; (ii) interdisziplinäre Integration eines state-of-the-art Ökosystemmodells mit einem state-of-the-art Modell der Volkswirtschaft (stochastisches und dynamisches allgemeines Gleichgewicht), wobei beide Submodelle empirisch fundiert sind; (iii) Formulierung von Politikempfehlungen, die Instrumente und Maßnahmen der Wirtschafts-, Verteilungs- und Umweltpolitik integrieren und umfassend im Hinblick auf Nachhaltigkeit abstimmen.
