Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine" by Walter H. Rich is an authoritative guide to the marine existence and fishing possibilities determined within this prolific area. Rich draws upon his vast expertise and enjoy as a marine biologist to offer readers with a comprehensive assessment of the Gulf's numerous ecosystems and the species that inhabit them. The book gives precise descriptions of various fishing grounds, inclusive of their geographical functions, seasonal versions, and the great strategies for catching specific sorts of fish and shellfish. Rich's insights into the behavior and habitat alternatives of key species inclusive of cod, haddock, lobster, and scallops make this book an invaluable useful resource for both leisure and business fishermen. Beyond serving as a realistic manual for anglers, "Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine" underscores the significance of conservation and sustainable control practices. Rich emphasizes the want for responsible stewardship to ensure the lengthy-term fitness and productivity of the area's fisheries. With its wealth of facts and Rich's accessible writing style, this book has come to be a definitive reference for all people interested in the marine existence and fishing possibilities of the Gulf of Maine.

Download or read book Hierarchical Perspectives on Marine Complexities written by Spencer Apollonio and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2002-10-30 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gulf of Maine supports a vital fishery for North America and is one of the most intensely studied marine ecosystems in the world. An understanding of its ecology has practical applications to management of other marine systems and fisheries. This book is the first application of Hierarchy Theory to the ecological workings of the Gulf of Maine and of marine ecosystems in general. Hierarchy Theory offers a perspective that simplifies the apparent complications and contradictions of ecosystems, which encompass a number of scales of time (from minutes to decades or longer) and of space (from centimeters to kilometers). Spencer Apollonio explores in detail the idea of natural constraints inherent in hierarchical ecosystems and the impact upon such systems when constraints are reduced or removed. He argues that conventional fisheries management, which practices the removal of these constraints, may be doomed to failure. Apollonio focuses in particular on the "groundfish crisis" in the Gulf, the precipitous decline due to overfishing in populations of cod, haddock, pollock, hakes, and various types of flounders, which have together constituted the mainstay of the Maine fishing industry for centuries. Hierarchical Perspectives on Marine Complexities presents a compelling case for a new approach that holds the promise of resource sustainability in the face of enormously complicated natural and cultural forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting Baselines explores the real-world implications of a groundbreaking idea: we must understand the oceans of the past to protect the oceans of the future. In 1995, acclaimed marine biologist Daniel Pauly coined the term "shifting baselines" to describe a phenomenon of lowered expectations, in which each generation regards a progressively poorer natural world as normal. This seminal volume expands on Pauly's work, showing how skewed visions of the past have led to disastrous marine policies and why historical perspective is critical to revitalize fisheries and ecosystems. Edited by marine ecologists Jeremy Jackson and Enric Sala, and historian Karen Alexander, the book brings together knowledge from disparate disciplines to paint a more realistic picture of past fisheries. The authors use case studies on the cod fishery and the connection between sardine and anchovy populations, among others, to explain various methods for studying historic trends and the intricate relationships between species. Subsequent chapters offer recommendations about both specific research methods and effective management. This practical information is framed by inspiring essays by Carl Safina and Randy Olson on a personal experience of shifting baselines and the importance of human stories in describing this phenomenon to a broad public. While each contributor brings a different expertise to bear, all agree on the importance of historical perspective for effective fisheries management. Readers, from students to professionals, will benefit enormously from this informed hindsight.
