Wiley-Blackwell - Fisheries Management in Crisis Book

Fisheries Management in Crisis by Wiley-Blackwell addresses the urgent challenges facing modern aquatic resource regulation. This text explores why current management systems face a loss of confidence, looking beyond biological stock assessment uncertainty to examine the breakdown of centralized regulatory structures. As the role of biological sciences in policy formulation undergoes significant changes, this work provides a necessary look at alternative systems. It moves the conversation toward new strategies that are now central to both scientific and political discussions regarding global fisheries. This volume brings together expert contributions from leading European social scientists, sociologists, social anthropologists, political scientists, and geographers. By integrating these diverse academic perspectives, the book offers a comprehensive view of the social and political factors affecting fisheries management today. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of science, policy, and social dynamics in environmental management.
