Influence of Tipping Points in the Success of International Fisheries Management: An Experimental Approach

Résumé

International fisheries are common pool resources which concentrate management difficulties. The migratory nature of fish resources makes it available for a large number of actual and potential harvesters in high seas which are by nature, free of access. This work investigates the role of critical socioeconomic tipping points on cooperation during the policy-making process associated with international shared fisheries. We analyze the ability of decision makers to coordinate their decisions to reduce economic rent dissipation and to ensure resource sustainability in a dynamic environment. More specifically, we propose a contextualized computer-based experimental approach to explore how decision makers respond to an endogenously driven catastrophic change in the economic conditions. We use the study case of the East Atlantic bluefin tuna (EABFT) fishery as it has been the archetype of an overfished and mismanaged fishery. We show that the threat of a regime shift, by increasing the likelihood of an economic bankruptcy, fosters more cooperative outcomes and a more precautionary management of the resource. This result is exacerbated when the position of the tipping point which triggers the shift in economic condition is uncertain.
