Ocean Recovery

Elucidating global fisheries management, debunking some of the oft-mentioned myths, and providing readers with science-based facts, Ocean Recovery provides an excellent resource for understanding modern fishery practices. * Society for Conservation Biology *
The style of writing is open and informative, the illustrations are clear and the general message is that for fisheries that are well managed the outlook for fish populations is good ... Ocean Recovery is a clear, well written and engaging account of how fisheries are assessed and managed. I like it particularly because it takes a positive view of how we humans are trying our best to tackle environmental issues, rather than adopting a negative view that always dwells on the worst possible outcome. * Paul J. B. Hart, Fish and Fisheries *
We would recommend this book both as a knowledge-expanding international foray for scientists and managers and as an important component of an educated reader's introduction to fisheries. * Zoe J. Kitchel, R.M.W.J. Bandara, Jaelyn T. Bos, Rene D. Clark, Daniel L. Forrest, and Malin L. Pinsky, Rutgers University, American Fisheries Society *
This thoroughly researched book covers a lot of territory in relation to fisheries management, including the perspectives of scientists, managers, fishermen, and conservationists. * Byron Anderson, Electronic Green Journal *

Any book that does that is worth your time. The Inquisitive Biologist
