This book explores the idea that poor fisheries management - and
the economic and ecological damage which follows - is largely the
result of management failures to implement important strategies to
account for uncertainty. The two most important of these strategies
are the precautionary principle and the ecosystem approach. After
investigating the implementation of these strategies in Australian
fisheries case studies, the author concludes that implementation is
at best incompetent, and at worst dishonest. However, the case
study of the southern ocean krill fishery, managed by the
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living
Resources, provides a important exception. Other case studies
include the Western Rock Lobster fishery, the Northern Prawn
fishery, the Orange Roughy fishery, and South Australia's abalone
fishery. The central conclusion of the book is that steps must be
taken bring about radical change in the cultures which operate
within fisheries agencies. This could be achieved, the author
argues, by replacing fisheries management agencies with agencies
charged with managing marine biodiversity assets.
