The fundamental objective of COBECOS is to conduct a "cost-benefit analysis of control schemes for management strategies relevant for the CFP and, based on this analysis to infer the potential economic benefits to the fisheries which might accrue from proper enforcement of the management measures. A key sub-objective of this project is to generate ability to contribute substantially to answering practical management questions such as: (1) What are the costs and benefits of increased enforcement effort in particular fisheries?; (2) If compliance alters (exogenously) in certain fisheries what are the costs and benefits?; (3) What are the impacts of increased penalties for violations of fisheries rules?; (4) How do different control schemes (management systems) compare in terms of costs and benefits when the cost of enforcement is taken into account?; (5) How do different control schemes (management systems) compare in terms of biological and economic robustness.
