Fisheries development: The institutional challenge - Tapa blanda

Many coastal states actively cultivate their fisheries to sustain their citizens and national economies. Fisheries Development presents the synthesis of a long-term research project on fisheries in struggling countries. The volume explains the evolution of fishery development strategies and highlights the role of the state and the community in resource management. Fisheries Development is a valuable resource that examines the modern economic challenges facing third world countries today.
