Charting a New Course


Book Description

The Task Force has attempted to describe the Atlantic fishery, to set out its problems, and to recommend ways to break the cycle of overdependence, excessive pressure on a finite resource, and overcapacity in both harvesting and processing, which ultimately results in chronically low and unstable incomes. This volume provides the narrative summarizing the examination, analyses and findings and setting out recommendations. The technical basis of the work is set out in summary form in the annex, and background papers are to be published separately.
















Oceans Governance in the Twenty-first Century


Book Description

'This book is recommended for anyone wanting to quickly get up to speed with oceans governance, bearing in mind at this stage it is an immature and quickly developing field. The strength of the book is that it is grounded in real-world examples from four case study countries and in this context at the very least exposes the reader to emergent oceans governance and policy issues. . . an excellent starting point for further analysis of oceans governance and sets up a research agenda for the future.' - Murray Patterson, Journal of Ecological Economics
