Explores the human dimensions of assessing, monitoring, and managing large marine ecosystems. A monitoring and assessment framework must incorporate the human and ecological elements of marine ecosystems, and this book provides a sound basis for setting management policy. Featuring a collection of chapters that integrate human and natural systems, reviews and case studies apply socioeconomic principles to analyze issues specific to the Northeast Shelf large marine ecosystems in order c=to further examine approaches to ecosystem management in other regions.
