* The first book to address the ownership, governance, and trade in
aquatic biogenetic resources* A must-have book for policymakers,
academics, and practitioners dealing with genetic resources*
Provides powerful policy recommendations for governing, conserving,
and using aquatic genetic resources for the common goodGenetic
sciences have produced a 'blue revolution' in the way we use
aquatic biodiversity. By 2020 the world will be eating more farmed
than wild fish, marine bacteria may yield the cure for cancer and
deep-sea bacteria may be exploited to gobble up oil spills. Science
is moving ahead at a staggering speed, and the demand for genetic
resources is growing rapidly--yet governance and policy lag far
behind. This groundbreaking work is the first to look at the issues
of ownership, governance and trade in aquatic genetic resources.
Blue Genes describes the growing demand for aquatic genetic
resources and the desperate need to fill the policy vacuum for the
management and conservation of aquatic biodiversity as a foundation
for rules governing access to and use of aquatic genetic resources.
The book pays special attention to the rights of indigenous and
local communities providing access to those resources, and their
role in managing and conserving aquatic biodiversity. The book
concludes with policy recommendations specifically tailored to
aquatic resources and uses six case studies from four continents to
illustrate key issues.
