Trade Review

“A significant strength of the book is its multidisciplinary approach combined with the contributors’ collective hands-on experience. Together they offer considerable insights and rich descriptions. Each chapter offers new insights in the topic, and no chapter is redundant. Because of the book’s richness of perspectives and its structure, it is excellent for looking up various topics of interest, whether the reader is a newcomer to the field or is knowledgeable in areas of the book. The book is therefore suitable for anyone addressing fisheries governance and/or biodiversity conservation.” (Marine Biology Research, 25 June 2015)

'A significant strengh of the book is its multidisciplinary approach combined with the contributors' collective hands-on experience. (...) Because of the book's richness of perspectives and its structure, it is excellent for looking up various topics of interest, whether the reader is a newcomer to the field or is knowledgeable in areas of the book. (...) the book is an accomplishment in that it has managed to include perspectives from a range of disciplines, providing a unique richness of perspectives and detailed descriptions of management bodies, instruments, frameworks, concepts, ideas, regulations and laws. It is a valuable book for anyone addressing fisheries governance and/or biodiversity conservation and a must for a wide range of libraries.'
