Over the last two decades, the scientific and popular media have
been bombarded by gloom and doom stories of the future of
fisheries, the status of fish stocks, and the impact of fishing on
marine ecosystems. Dozens of certification and labeling schemes
have emerged to advise consumers on what seafood is sustainable. In
recent years, an opposing narrative has emerged emphasizing the
success of fisheries management in many places, the increasing
abundance of fish stocks in those places, and the prescription for
sustainable fisheries. However, there has been no comprehensive
survey of what really constitutes sustainability in fisheries, fish
stock status, success and failures of management, and consideration
of the impacts of fishing on marine ecosystems. This book will
explore very different perspectives on sustainability, and bring
together the data from a large number of studies to show where fish
stocks are increasing, where they are declining, the consequences
of alternative fisheries management regimes, and what is known
about a range of fisheries issues such as the impacts of trawling
on marine ecosystems. Ocean Recovery is aimed principally at a
general audience that is already interested in fisheries but seeks
both a deeper understanding of what is known about specific issues
and an impartial presentation of all the data rather than selected
examples used to justify a particular perspective or agenda. It
will also appeal to the scientific community eager to know more
about marine fisheries and fishing data, and serve as the basis for
graduate seminars on the sustainability of natural resources.
