The commons revisited: Thoughts on marine mammal management
Abstract
This article explores the United States approach to marine mammal management. Questions are raised about the implications of current actions which are primarily protective. Impacts of such protection, both in terms of ecosystem considerations and the resulting social, economic, and international political consequences are examined. The key issue raised by the paper is whether mammals are managed to achieve a goal built around nonconsumptive values which may be primarily moral or ethical, or if they are managed for purposes of extractive conservation.

If certain types of whales become too numerous, their food supplies would dwindle and they could starve unless a moratorium is also imposed on fishing.
“If certain types of whales were to become too numerous, their food supplies would dwindle and they could literally starve to death (Terhune, 1985;Aron, 1988), unless a moratorium is also imposed on fishing.”

Most marine mammal stocks are abundant and only a few of the more than 75 species of cetaceans are endangered.
“But that most marine mammal stocks are abundant and only a few of the more than 75 species of cetaceans are endangered (Aron, 1988) is concealed by whale protectionists.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
