The world’s stocks of wild fish continue to decline, making the task of finding innovative, sustainable and socially acceptable methods of fisheries management more important than ever. Several new approaches from around the world have proved to be successful in stemming the decline whilst increasing fish catches, and under the editorship of McClanahan and Castilla this international team of authors have looked to these examples to provide the reader with carefully chosen case studies offering practical suggestions and solutions for problem fisheries elsewhere.

For millions of people in developing countries, fisheries represent a means of livelihood, a source of food and nutrition, and a source of wealth for economic growth. Fish often constitutes the sole source of protein for many people, especially the poor. Yet the risks to sustainable fisheries are high. Three quarters of global marine fisheries are overexploited or fully exploited, and the pressure on fish stocks is increasing. Demand for fish in the developed countries, which currently absorb 80% of traded fish, is increasing while the demand for fish in developing countries is likely to augment as income levels rise. For OECD and non-OECD countries alike, the global fisheries situation poses topical questions of coherence between development and fisheries in a number of policy areas. This publication examines these questions and proposes a framework for in-depth analysis of coherence issues in five main policy areas where fisheries and development policies interact, namely environmental, technology, economic, social, and governance policies. The framework is illustrated with ten concrete country and regional case studies, analysing issues that range from international fishing agreements and the relationship between industrial and artisanal fishing fleets to fisheries trade and development policies, as well as fisheries development and poverty reduction. For the researcher – as for the consumer and connoisseur – this book also offers a glossary to help the reader understand commonly-used, as well as more exotic, French and English terms for fish and seafood. . This report was also published as a chapter in Review of Fisheries in OECD Countries: Volume 1: Policies and Summary Statistics, 2005 Edition. Also in this series:.:.; Fostering Development in a Global Economy: A Whole of Government Perspective.; Policy Coherence for Development: Promoting Institutional Good Practice.; Agriculture and Development: The Case for Policy Coherence.; Migration, Remittances and more...
