Description
Summary:This paper identifies factors of non-compliance for the Heard Island and McDonald Island (HIMI) Fishery of Australia and analyses these factors under the theoretical framework of non-compliance that exists in fisheries economics literature. It is found that identified factors were consistent with the theoretical construct. The paper also examines various components of the management costs for the HIMI Fishery for the period 2001-2005. It is found that the cost related to compliance has increased substantially over the sample period. Finally, policy implications of these findings are discussed in the paper.
