The world’s stocks of wild fish continue to decline, making
the task of finding innovative, sustainable and socially acceptable
methods of fisheries management more important than ever.
Several new approaches from around the world have proved to be
successful in stemming the decline whilst increasing fish catches,
and under the editorship of Mc Clanahan and Castilla this
international team of authors have looked to these examples to
provide the reader with carefully chosen case studies offering
practical suggestions and solutions for problem fisheries
elsewhere. Coverage includes:
* * Community based fisheries
* * Collaborative and co-operative fisheries management
* * Coastal fisheries management
* * The future for sustainable fisheries management
Written by many of the world’s most experienced
practitioners Fisheries Management: Progress toward sustainability
is an important purchase for all fisheries scientists, managers and
conservationists. All libraries in universities and research
establishments where this area is studied and taught will find this
book a valuable addition to their shelves.
