World Fisheries [EPUB ebook] 
A Social-Ecological Analysis

This exciting new book grew out of an international symposium held
at FAO, Rome in July 2008, but it is not just a collection of
papers from that symposium. Rather, the publication brings together
work on social-ecological marine research that cuts across
disciplines, identifies key common elements and approaches that
promote resilience of marine social-ecological systems in the face
of global changes, and points to next steps.
The book comprises contributions on conceptual issues relating
to social-ecological responses in marine systems to global changes;
offers illustrative case studies of specific examples of
social-ecological responses in marine systems to significant
environmental changes manifested locally; develops a syntheses
between natural and social scientists on the topic, and points the
way forward with innovative approaches to the use of science and
knowledge in management, policy and advice.
World Fisheries is part of Wiley-Blackwell’s prestigious
Fish and Aquatic Resources Series, and encompasses chapters
from many scientists at the top of their fields worldwide.
Carefully drawn together and edited by four world experts in the
area, World Fisheries is a landmark publication which is an
essential purchase for all fisheries managers worldwide.
