RECENT NEWS: March 12, 2011 CEE
Center member, Richard Carson, was recently honored by being named a Fellow of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AERE) and a Fellow of the Association of Agricultural and Applied Economics (AAAE). Congratulations, Richard!

The Center for Environmental Economics co-sponsored (with the ISSF and IGCC) the Napa Workshop on Allocation of Global Common Property Resources, February 11-13, 2011, at the Bardessono Resort in Yountville, California. The workshop convened a number of leading economic theorists, international tuna fishery managers, and government officials involved in negotiating international fishery agreements to address approaches used in solving the allocation problem for common property resources and considering how they might apply to international agreements for managing global tuna fisheries. The program and list of participants (including a number of CEE members) may be accessed here. The Workshop Press Release may be accessed here. The Workshop Report is forthcoming and will be posted when available. (posted: March 3, 2011)

The Center for Environmental Economics co-sponsored (with the ISSF) the Bellagio Conference for Sustainable Tuna Fisheries, May 25-29, 2010, at the Rockefeller Foundation Conference Center in Bellagio, Italy. The Conference was held to develop an analysis of key issues that are vital for the management of tuna fisheries to ensure sustainable fish stocks and healthy ecosystems, while providing fair access to the fisheries for all participants, and retaining profitability of the industry. The Conference Report, Bellagio Framework for Sustainable Tuna Fisheries: Capacity controls, rights-based management, and effective MCS may be accessed here. (posted June 10, 2010)
