About this book

Comparative Evaluations of Innovative Fisheries Management starts with a look at four places outside the European Union known for innovative management: New Zealand, Nova Scotia, Alaska and Iceland. The focus then shifts to the success criteria related to specific disciplines including biological and social robustness, economic efficiency and impacts on management costs. Hypotheses are tested using data capable of generating useful results.

The main conclusions in Comparative Evaluations of Innovative Fisheries Management include a retrospective of how key concepts defined and represented the various perspectives, skills and backgrounds that made up the multidisciplinary CEVIS project.
