Product Description
This book reviews the fisheries of New England - "the poster child of mismanagement" - since 1977. It finds that many of the explanations offered for the New England problems are incorrect or irrelevant or counterproductive. It suggests that the problems lie in two general categories: first, the legislative and administrative context of management; and second and more serious, fundamental issues concerning fishing technologies, and lack of effective effort control strategies and an operational hypothesis of the dynamics of marine ecosystems. These latter issues are not confined to New England, but are inherent in most marine fisheries wherever they may be found. The book suggests a new concept for benign and selective fishing technologies, and it recommends a thorough review and analysis of the efficacy of effort control concepts. It proposes a management strategy based upon the hierarchical concept of ecosystems that could eliminate many of the current problems of management.

 | A must read of anyone envolved in Fisheries Management Jan 16, 2009 |
This is a "must read" for any person involved in Fisheries Management, past, present and future.
The book does a wonderful job of pointing out many existing problems, which if not addressed, will surely lead to future failures in the management plans.
One very important thing was not explained about the relationship between the two authors. Jacob Dykstra and Spencer Apollonio were on opposite sides of the table and when it came to the Fishery Management Plans(FMP) ,and rarely, if ever agreed on any thing at the time. To have both of them collaborate on this book and agree on both the problems the FMP's currently are facing and come up with some ideas to solve them is a major statement.
I had the unique privilege of working for Jacob on board the F/V JANILEEN II as his Mate and Swing Captain from 1981 until I bought his boat in 1986. Spencer Apollonio has been a long time friend of my parents. Because of this, I was hearing Jacob's frustrations that he was feeling at all the meetings he was attending while I was running his boat. I would also hear the "other side" from my father. There seemed to be no simple solutions then as well as now. But there are clearly some things that must be done to insure we will continue to have a viable fishery for generations to come.
