Changing the food chain. 330 $aIn the spring of 2007, National Geographic warned, "The oceans are in deep blue trouble. From the northernmost reaches of the Greenland Sea to the swirl of the Antarctic Circle, we are gutting our seas of fish." There were legitimate grounds for concern. After increasing more than fourfold between 1950 and 1994, the global wild fish catch reached a plateau and stagnated despite exponential growth in the fishing industry. As numerous scientific reports showed, many fish stocks around the world collapsed, creating a genuine global overfishing crisis.Making Seafood Sustainable analyzes the ramifications of overfishing for the United States by investigating how fishers, seafood processors, retailers, government officials, and others have worked together to respond to the crisis. Historian Mansel G. Blackford examines how these players took steps to make fishing in some American waters, especially in Alaskan waters, sustainable. Critical to these efforts, Blackford argues, has been government and industry collaboration in formulating and enforcing regulations. What can be learned from these successful experiences? Are they applicable elsewhere? What are the drawbacks? Making Seafood Sustainable addresses these questions and suggests that sustainable seafood management can be made to work. The economic and social costs incurred in achieving sustainable resource usage are significant, but there are ways to mitigate them. More broadly, this study illustrates ways to manage commonly held natural resources around the world-land, water, oil, and so on-in sustainable ways. 410 0$aAmerican business, politics, and society. 606 $aSustainable aquaculture$zUnited States 606 $aFishery policy$zUnited States 606 $aFishery management$zUnited States 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aBusiness. 610 $aEconomics. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 0$aSustainable aquaculture 615 0$aFishery policy 615 0$aFishery management 676 $a639.8 700 $aBlackford$b Mansel G.$f1944-$0916017 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788389203321 996 $aMaking seafood sustainable$93722343 997 $aUNINA
