About this book

This book is a result of an international symposium held at FAO, Rome in July 2008. The publication brings together work on social-ecological marine research that cuts across disciplines, identifies key common elements and approaches that promote resilience of marine social-ecological systems in the face of global changes, and points to next steps.
