There has been quite a bit of research on the challenges connected with fisheries management, such as the role and reliability of science, the politics of setting catch quotas and the causes of non-compliance. However, little research has addressed the role of administrative solutions to the basic problems of adequate monitoring of fishing mortality and proper enforcement. This study thus focuses on national experiences, challenges and solutions in terms of implementation of resource conservation policies in fisheries. The study addresses three main questions: 1. What are the central features of today's management systems in terms of managing fishing mortality rates?; 2. How were these systems developed?; 3. What are their strengths and weaknesses in terms of effective and efficient implementation? This project conducts a cross-national comparison of management systems, including their origins and the conditions that explain their characteristics. Norway, the EU (mainly Denmark) and the Faroe Island are the main cases. Today's fisheries management systems are young and have emerged largely through incremental processes of learning by trial and error. The fundamental rationale for this project is that we have reached a point in the history of fisheries management where we can increase this knowledge further by comparing national experiences and developments.
