Description
The shift away from the management of individual resources to the broader perspective of ecosystems is no longer confined to academia
and think tanks where it first began; the ecosystem paradigm also is beginning to take root in government policy and programs.
This
volume provides innovative and timely approaches for improving and sustaining socioeconomic benefits from LMEs. The authors describe
methodologies and actions for moving forward in halting the downward resource sustainability spiral and advancing toward the recovery
of depleted fish stocks, restoration of degraded habitats, and reduction and control of pollution within the framework of an ecosystem-based
approach for the governance of LMEs.
