Role of CEMARE in SOCIOEC
CEMARE will contribute to the development of WP 2, 3 and 4. CEMARE will also be involved in case study on fisheries in Western Waters, focusing on quota management by two Producers' Organisations based in Southern England.
Description of Personnel involved in the project
Aaron Hatcher is a Senior Research Fellow in CEMARE. He has both participated in and coordinated a number of international research projects funded by the EU and has also reported to the UK Government on key economic issues in UK fisheries management, including the use of charges in fisheries, quota trading and the economics of fishing capacity. Dr Hatcher has published on various aspects of fisheries policy including the economics of compliance with fishery regulations. His current research interests focus on the microeconomics of fishery management, in particular on the use of tradable individual quotas in fisheries, discarding and on the implications of non-compliance for economic outcomes under quota management regimes.
