N2 - Governments spend significant financial resources on fisheries management, especially on enforcement, research and management administration (Andersen and Sutinen, 2003; Sutinen and Andersen, 2003). For many of the world’s fishing nations, the large government expenditures on fishery management services impose significant burdens on both taxpayers and the regulated fishing community (Shrank et al., 2003). The shift towards user charges accelerated in the 1980s and is penetrating fishery management. Some countries have changed the way they finance and provide fishery management. Countries such as Australia, Canada and New Zealand have applied cost recovery mechanisms to fisheries, agriculture, food quality, transportation, telecommunications and other sectors.
