The One

Reality is complex, and often does not lend itself to generalization or simplifying explanations. Yet at the same time, explaining reality often requires the shaping of notions and concepts of it through generalization and the reduction of complexity. This tension between complexity and particularity on the one hand and generalization and the search for abstracting explanatory patterns on the other is beautifully illustrated by two recently released publications on precaution and risk regulation in the United States and Europe, namely “The Politics of Precaution” by David Vogel1 and “The Reality of Precaution” edited by Jonathan Wiener, Michael Rogers, James Hammitt, and Peter Sand.Both books together can be seen as the latest significant contribution to the ongoing debate on the role of the precautionary principle in risk regulation in a comparative EU-US perspective. Both contributions are significant in that they consolidate the trend towards an empirically informed analysis of the actual practice of the application of precaution in risk regulation.

Intense Debate

“And remember you’re in France: The customer is always wrong!”Many years ago, there was intense debate about what the Precautionary Principle (“PP”) is, or is not. More recently, as the battle lines in that debate have ossified, academic attention seems to have shifted to a focus on the somewhat more subtle question of how the term PP, whatever it may mean, is used by different actors in different contexts. David Vogel’s recent book, The Politics of Precaution: Regulating the Environmental Risks in Europe and the United States (2012) (hereafter “Politics”), is a good recent example of such commentary. Vogel's approach recognizes the diversity of relevant developments, he seeks to impose a coherent narrative framework on those developments.

Spatial Grid

The first temperature, salinity and oxygen climatologies for waters of the continuous southern African continental shelf is presented. It is based on oceanographic data collected since 1945, sub-sampled at depths of 5, 50 and 100 m on a mixed-spatial grid with 0.25° to 0.5° resolution. The climatologies capture spatial heterogeneities and seasonal variability in key ocean variables for the southern African shelf in unique detail. The results correspond relatively well with biogeographic boundaries informed by classification schemes grounded in taxonomy, but questions the value of the Large Marine Ecosystem approach. Analysis of decadal trends demonstrates the inherent complexity and spatial heterogeneity associated with environmental variability, and suggest the possibility that decadal periodicities are in the process of being disrupted by a longer-term trend. The overall pattern is that southern African West and South coast shelf waters are becoming warmer, except for some upwelling areas, where cooling is evident. Benguela and Agulhas Bank shelf water are also becoming more oxygen depleted.

Scientific Certainty

The aim of this paper is to examine an applying the precautionary principle in fisheries management. Precautionary principle is a principle where the possibility exist of serious or irreversible harm, lack of scientific certainty should not preclude cautions action by decision-makers to prevent or mitigate such harm. This principle has been accepting in widely international environmental law so that with applying this principle in fisheries management, it could be expected to provide an opportunity to progress towards sustainable fisheries development.
