Governance of Marine Fisheries and Biodiversity Conservation
explores governance of the world's oceans with a focus on the
impacts of two inter-connected but historically separate streams of
governance: one for fisheries, the other for biodiversity
conservation. Chapters, most co-authored by leading experts
from both streams, investigate the interaction of these governance
streams from ecological, economic, social and legal perspectives,
with emphasis on policies, institutions processes, and outcomes on
scales from the global to the local community, and with coverage of
a range of themes and regions of the world.

The book opens with chapters setting the historical context for the
two marine governance streams, and framing the book's
exploration of whether, as the streams increasingly interact, there
will be merger or collision, convergence or co-evolution. The
concluding chapter synthesizes the insights from throughout the
book, relative to the questions posed in the opening
chapters. It also draws conclusions about future needs and
directions in the governance of marine fisheries and biodiversity,
vital to the future of the world's oceans.

With cutting edge chapters written by many leading international
experts in fisheries management and biodiversity conservation, and
edited by three leading figures in this crucially important
subject, Governance of Marine Fisheries and Biodiversity
Conservation is an essential purchase for fisheries scientists,
economists, resource managers and policymakers, and all those
working in fields of biodiversity conservation, marine ecology, and
coastal livelihoods. Libraries in all universities and research
establishments where environmental and/or marine studies,
conservation, ocean policy and law, biological and life sciences,
and fisheries management are studied and taught, should have copies
of this most important book.

Rezensionen

"A significant strength of the book is its multidisciplinary approach combined with the contributors' collective hands-on experience. Together they offer considerable insights and rich descriptions. Each chapter offers new insights in the topic, and no chapter is redundant. Because of the book's richness of perspectives and its structure, it is excellent for looking up various topics of interest, whether the reader is a newcomer to the field or is knowledgeable in areas of the book. The book is therefore suitable for anyone addressing fisheries governance and/or biodiversity conservation." (Marine Biology Research, 25 June 2015)
