Fisheries management
It is now common knowledge that marine fisheries are in trouble and this trouble
extends from near to offshore areas and affects most regions of the Earth. The prob-
lems have arisen in the context of a well-developed fisheries science that has largely
focused on the resource and the biophysical aspects that control the resource, but
has paid less attention to the social aspects of the management that lead to success.
This focus has changed considerably in the last decade and a number of innovative
means to manage fisheries that are socially acceptable have developed and led to
success in human organization, increasing fisheries catches or, at minimum, re-
versing declines. In order to increase the chances for success in other fisheries, it
would help practitioners if they understand the history of the successes and some
of the factors that led to reversing failures. This book will provide historical case
studies of a number of fisheries that have improved management. Consequently, it
is expected that this book will form an important supplementary text for fisheries
management and marine conservation courses that require a contemporary survey
of recent advances.
