Managing people

Chapter

Background: Selection Does Not Guarantee Completeness

The article in this section all relate to the social aspects of fisheries, particularly the management of people. The "human-dimensions of fisheries" are a diverse collection of disciplines involving economics, empirical social sciences, sociology, socio-psychology, political science, anthropology, human geography, and many more. For this reason, it was challenging to identify eight key articles in this area of fisheries science. Several sections in this book deal with specifics of the overarching discipline of fisheries biology, which reflects that fisheries biologyremains the dominant approach to fisheries science. For space reasons, all social science-related articles have been combined into this section. This of course cannot give credit to the many seminal articles in the social science of fisheries literature that span the disciplines outlined above. Thus, it was decided to expand the Honorable Mention list to ten articles. While still not fully encompassing, it is believed that the eighteen articles cover the major streams of innovation that characterize the field of management-oriented human-dimensions studies in commercial, recreational, small-, and large-scale fisheries.
