As the era of thriving, small-scale fishing communities continues
to wane across waters that once teamed with (a way of) life, Fiona
McCormack opens a window into contemporary fisheries quota systems,
laying bare how neoliberalism has entangled itself in our approach
to environmental management. Grounded in fieldwork in New Zealand,
Iceland, Ireland and Hawaii, McCormack offers up a comparative
analysis of the mechanisms driving the transformations unleashed by
a new era of ocean grabbing. Exploring the processes of
privatisation in ecosystem services, Private Oceans traces how
value has been repositioned in the market, away from productive
activities. The result? The demise of the small-scale sector, the
collapse of fishing communities, cultural loss, and the emergence
of a newly propertied class of producers - the armchair fisherman.
Ultimately, Private Oceans demonstrates that the deviations from
the capitalist norm explored in this book offer grounds for the
reimagining of both fisheries economies and broader environmental
systems.
