Wiley-Blackwell Fisheries Management in Crisis - Wiley-Blackwell

Fisheries Management in Crisis examines the multifaceted challenges confronting modern fishery systems, moving beyond traditional biological stock assessment to address the deeper institutional and social dimensions of regulatory failure. This Wiley-Blackwell volume brings together contributions from Europe's leading social scientists, sociologists, social anthropologists, political scientists and geographers who have actively shaped contemporary fisheries policy. The book challenges the established dominance of biological sciences in fisheries strategy development and presents alternative frameworks now gaining traction in both scientific and political spheres. By integrating perspectives from multiple disciplines, it provides essential insights into how collapsed confidence in centralised regulatory systems can be rebuilt through more inclusive, socially-informed management approaches. Ideal for policy makers, researchers and professionals working in fisheries management, environmental governance and resource sustainability.
