Poverty Reduction through Sustainable Fisheries: Emerging Policy and Governance Issues in Southeast Asia
Reviews
"Perhaps for no other region in the world are fisheries, both inland (freshwater) and marine, as important as for Southeast Asia. Whereas global fish production increased annually by 1.7% between 2000 and 2004, production in Southeast Asia increased by 5.7%. Much of this increase can be attributed to the world trade in fish, with fish exports increasing at an annual rate of 6.6% globally. Fish is also important domestically within Southeast Asia. It comprises a high proportion of people's animal protein intake. Future growth in production, however, is threatened by excessive harvesting effort, pollution and habitat destruction. It is now widely accepted that most near-shore marine fisheries in Southeast Asia are over-fished. Despite the sector's importance, studies discussing the broad economic significance of Southeast Asia's fisheries are few and far between, and those that do exist are mainly in the form of national or regional project reports. This edited volume commissioned by the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) is a welcome addition to address this gap. The book covers the entire circular flow of production and consumption in fisheries, from fishing households, markets and trade to production technology, the supply chain and the governance of both inland and marine fishery resources" (Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies).
