Revolution in the Seas: Ending Overfishing and Building Pesco-ecology, Sustainable Agro-Ecology of Fishing provides an in-depth analysis of the dynamics between humans and disrupting marine ecosystems by extracting its wild animals. It highlights practical changes that can be implemented to prevent overfishing and create a new way of fishing, the pesco-ecology that benefits marine life, coastal communities, and human consumers alike. Written by a leader in fisheries science and conservation, this book begins by diagnosing the issue of overexploitation, showing the dynamics and consequences on living marine resources and ecosystems. It then goes on to demonstrate how recent scientific discoveries, including tropic network functionality, are changing humans' approach to fishing sustainably. The final sections are devoted to ecological, economic, and social solutions. Revolution in the Seas: Ending Overfishing and Building Pesco-ecology and Sustainable Agro-Ecology of Fishing is a vital resource for fisheries scientists, managers, academics and students in marine biology or fisheries studies. All stakeholders and citizens involved in building a sustainable relationship between humans and the sea will also benefit from this book's revolutionary content. - Translated to English for global accessibility - Analyzes systems and protocols that have led to overexploitation - Examines innovations and key rules for implementing a new way of fishing and rethinking sustainability
