Governing Sustainable Seafood

by Simon Bush and Peter Oosteveer: 

​

 This book takes into account the rise of social movements through environmental non-governmental organisations, the nature and perceived limits of government regulation within and beyond the state, and the promise of market-based approaches to governance such as ecolabelling.”

FISHERIES PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The FPIs provide a tool to assess the environmental, economic and social sustainability of fishery management systems
