Description
Institutional Economics and Fisheries Management: The Case of Pacific Tuna. Elizabeth H. Petersen Northampton, MA: Edward Elgar Publishing, Inc., 2006, xviii, 186 pp. ISBN: 1-84376-782-1. Over the past three decades, the importance of well-defined and well-enforced property rights has emerged, in particular within the realm of natural resource management and use. Institutional Economics and Fisheries Management: The Case of Pacific Tuna contributes to this body of literature by providing an in-depth discussion and analysis of the role of property rights in sustainably managing natural resources, specifically in managing fisheries. The main premise of this book is that sound fisheries management requires both a clear set of goals for the fishery and the institutions necessary to support and foster the attainment of those goals. The author highlights the current management of the Western and Central Pacific tuna fishery to provide a relevant context for the general discussion of the role of institutional economics in fisheries management. The case study provides an interesting and insightful look at the present management of the Western Pacific tuna fishery and offers a timely dialogue regarding its management. Further, this work contributes to the more general body of knowledge for fisheries management.
