Marine ecosystems are in a crisis that is global in scope, rapid in pace, and colossal in scale. In The Tragedy of the Commodity, sociologists Stefano B. Longo, Rebecca Clausen, and Brett Clark explore the role human influence plays in this crisis, highlighting the social and economic forces that are at the heart of this looming ecological problem. In a critique of the classic theory "the tragedy of the commons" by ecologist Garrett Hardin, the authors move beyond simplistic explanations-such as unrestrained self-interest or population growth-to argue that it is the commodification of aquatic resources that leads to the depletion of fisheries and the development of environmentally suspect means of aquaculture. To illustrate this argument, the book features two fascinating case studies-the thousand-year history of the bluefin tuna fishery in the Mediterranean and the massive Pacific salmon fishery. Longo, Clausen, and Clark describe how new fishing technologies, transformations in ships and storage capacities, and the expansion of seafood markets combined to alter radically and permanently these crucial ecosystems. In doing so, the authors underscore how the particular organization of social production contributes to ecological degradation and an increase in the pressures placed upon the ocean. The authors highlight the historical, political, economic, and cultural forces that shape how we interact with the larger biophysical world. A path-breaking analysis of overfishing, The Tragedy of the Commodity yields insight into issues such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change. 410 0$aNature, society, and culture. 606 $aFishery management 606 $aFisheries$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aAquaculture 606 $aFishes$xEffect of human beings on 610 $ahuman agency  in oceans and fisheries. 615 0$aFishery management. 615 0$aFisheries$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aAquaculture. 615 0$aFishes$xEffect of human beings on. 676 $a639.2 700 $aLongo$b Stefano$01671617 702 $aClausen$b Rebecca 702 $aClark$b Brett 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828256503321 996 $aThe tragedy of the commodity$94070197 997 $aUNINA
