defining a new era for American fisheries management
H. John Heinz III Center for Science, Economics, and the Environment
"Fishing Grounds offers a comprehensive assessment of the legal, social, economic, and biological context of marine fisheries management in the United States. Drawing on interviews with more than 77 stakeholders, the authors seek common ground and points of unresolved controversy among the diversity of interests and viewpoints on the key topics in fisheries management. Chapters cover history and background of U.S. fisheries, current status, productivity, ownership issues, management structures and incentives, and the roles of science and evaluation."
"Fishing Grounds presents an overview of fisheries management options and positions. It is an important work for fisheries professionals as well as for students and researchers involved with fisheries and their management."--Jacket.
