Justification and design of limited entry alternatives for the offshore fisheries of American Samoa, and an examination of preferential fishing rights for native people of American Samoa within a limited entry context
Severance CJ and Franco R. 1989. Justification and design of limited entry alternatives for the offshore fisheries of American Samoa, and an examination of preferential fishing rights for native people of American Samoa within a limited entry context. Final report. Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council. Honolulu, HI
This report presents the anthropological and historical documentation, and the interview data of traditional and contemporary fishing first because this evidence logically precedes any examination of limited entry alternatives. Culturally acceptable management measures for the offshore fisheries must take into account the social and economic context of traditional and contemporary fishing practices. The documentation of history continuity is followed by the examination of limited entry alternatives for each of the fisheries, and then a conclusion, and appendices.
