“Co-Management in Fisheries: A Comprehensive Perspective” offers an in-depth exploration of contemporary challenges and evolving strategies in the realm of fisheries management. This authoritative volume delves into the intricacies of co-management approaches, blending traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), technological innovations, and adaptive strategies to address complex issues in sustainable resource governance. From the integration of TEK into modern management frameworks to the application of cutting-edge technologies like satellite monitoring and data analytics, this book navigates through the dynamic landscape of fisheries management. The reader will gain insights into the paradigm shift towards ecosystem-based management (EBM) and the crucial role of inclusive governance, engaging stakeholders from government authorities to local communities. Recognizing the pressing impact of climate change on fisheries, the book explores strategies for climate change adaptation within co-management plans. It unravels the challenges and opportunities presented by trans-boundary fisheries, emphasizing harmonized regulations, collaborative enforcement efforts, and the importance of international agreements. “Co-Management in Fisheries” goes beyond theoretical discussions, offering practical guidance on conflict resolution mechanisms, community-based monitoring, and capacity-building initiatives. The book embraces a holistic approach, emphasizing the interconnectedness of ecological, social, and economic factors in fisheries management. Through a series of well-researched chapters, the book encourages a multi-stakeholder approach, recognizing the significance of diverse perspectives, including those of fishers, indigenous communities, NGOs, and governmental bodies. It underlines the need for transparent information-sharing, early warning systems, and data standardization to facilitate effective collaboration in managing fisheries resources. In summary, “Co-Management in Fisheries: A Comprehensive Perspective” is an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding the multifaceted challenges and innovative solutions in the field of fisheries management. The book provides a holistic and up-to-date overview of co-management strategies, incorporating the latest research findings and practical insights to guide sustainable practices and foster resilience in the face of evolving environmental and social dynamics.
