Preface
Coasts and seas are special environments that give rise to a set of unique activities,
cultures and governance issues. This volume highlights the situation of capture
fi sheries and aquaculture from a global perspective, and takes an interactive governance approach. It is a sequel to an earlier publication in the series entitled, Fish for
Life – Interactive Governance for Fisheries (2004). The present volume continues
where the earlier book left off, and explores the concept of governability and its
application to fi sheries.
The MARE Publication Series commenced in 2004 under the auspices of
Amsterdam University Press and produced fi ve volumes on coastal and marine topics.
This is the fi rst volume to be produced in collaboration with Springer Academic
Publishers. We are particularly grateful to Martine van Bezooijen(†) and Fritz
Schmuhl for facilitating the transition and taking us on.
As we have contributed to this volume, Dr. Mirjam Ros-Tonen (University of
Amsterdam) has stepped in as guest series editor. We are grateful for her help.
