Flexibility is enhanced by incentive-based access instruments that enhance the capacity of fishing interests to move within and across jurisdictional boundaries to respond to changes in resource distribution. Incentives to adopt green technologies will also strengthen the position of the fishing industry in anticipation of carbon fees (FAO, 2006). Overall actions taken to improve the economic status of the fishery and adopt best practices for fishery management will best equip the fishery to respond flexibly to change. Policy makers can encourage approaches to information development that take into account the uncertainty of unforeseen events, such as the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and other “surprises”.
