About this ebook
The managemof coastal and ocean fisheries is highly contentious. Industry interests focus on maximizing catches while conservationists and marine scientists have become increasingly concerned about dramatic declines in fish stocks and the health of ecosystems. Besides attempting to mediate among these interests, governmagencies have pursued their own agendas, which have often lagged behind shifts in scientific understanding and public attitudes about the productivity of the oceans and uses of marine wildlife.From Abundance to Scarcity examines the evolution of US fisheries policy and institutions from the late 19th century to the presday, with an emphasis on changes since World War II. Based on archival research and interviews with dozens of key players in marine policymaking, it traces the thinking, legislation, mandates, and people that have shaped the various agencies governing fisheries in the United States.
The book discusses the developmof federal programs in marine biological sciences and the evolution of scientific understanding about marine wildlife populations; describes the work of federal fisheries programs; considers the response of agencies to factors such as dam-building and coastal developmthat have led to increased pollution and habitat loss; examines the shifts in understanding and values that underlie major legislation; and examines the evolving relationship between federal agencies, the fishing industry, communities, and nongovernmental conservation organizations.
From Abundance to Scarcity sheds light on the sets of interests that have shaped US fisheries policy, lending historical depth to currdebates and providing a fuller understanding of currlaws and regulations. It offers an insightful overview for professionals involved with fisheries managemor the fishing industry, conservationists working on marine issues, and students of marine, environmental, or public policy.
