Short Description:
People, places, and approaches to fishing are as varied as the diverse fish fauna that exist on the planet. As conservation planners recognize the value of substantial engagement of stakeholders in decision making and ineffectiveness of rigid top-down management approaches, Fish, Fishing, and Conservation asserts that all peoples must play a role in conservation. Through case studies, engaging narrative and graphics, and exercises, the 389-page, undergraduate-level text explores major motivations for fishing and non-fishing related values, responsible fisheries practices, the rights of all people to decide how to manage and conserve fish, their habitats, and how they are utilized. For many fishes, overfishing remains a pressing global problem for which appropriate solutions are not easily found nor implemented.NewParaInstructors, if you are reviewing or adopting for use in a class, please let us know. https://bit.ly/fishandconservation_interestNewParaFor PDF, ePub, recordings of Profiles in Fish Conservation, and a link to order the print version visit: https://doi.org/10.21061/fishandconservation
