This book advances discussions of values in fisheries by showing
the rich theoretical insights and connections possible when value
is grounded in a multi-dimensional social well being approach.
Questions of value have long been a central, if often
unacknowledged, concern in maritime studies and in research on
fisheries. Social scientists have looked at changing perceptions
of value as coastal regions and fisheries have industrialized,
economic interconnections have deepened, ecosystems have been
depleted, shifts in population have occurred, and governance
arrangements have been transformed. With a focus on the diverse
ways in which small-scale fisheries are valued, the contributions
to this volume address these and other themes through cases from
numerous countries in Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
