Abstract

Since the second half of the 20th century, Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) has been the guiding principle of fisheries management, focused on reaching sustainability through bioeconomic modelling and harvest regulations. MSY has allowed managers to set Total Allowable Catch levels for target species with further implications for various forms of catch share programs. In this article, we employ a feminist ethic of care approach and literature on local environmental stewardship to analyze the case of a Danish environmental organization trying to introduce another dimension to fisheries management grounded on the concept of care and collective responsibility. The case includes two related attempts of establishing ecolabelling schemes for small-scale fisheries focused on a concept of careful/gentle fishing. Through the case study, we trace how a management focus on yield hinders the care perspective but also engenders forms of local and national resistance.

摘要

自 20 世纪下半叶以来，最大可持续产量 (MSY) 一直是渔业管理的指导原则，专注于通过生物经济建模和捕捞法规实现可持续性。MSY 允许管理人员为目标物种设定总允许捕捞量水平，这对各种形式的捕捞份额计划有进一步的影响。在本文中，我们采用女性主义的关怀伦理方法和有关当地环境管理的文献来分析丹麦环境组织试图基于关怀和集体责任概念为渔业管理引入另一个维度的案例。该案例包括为小规模渔业建立生态标签计划的两次相关尝试，重点关注谨慎/温和捕捞的概念。通过案例研究，
