The Fisherman's Problem

The Fisherman's Problem: Ecology and Law in the California Fisheries, 1850 1980 By reconstructing the ecological history of the fisheries during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this study develops a new perspective on environmental problems as contemporary observers understood them and on the results of their efforts to deal with those problems. The book concludes with an analysis of significant changes taking place in the 1970s and 1980s in the politics and theory of resource management. By combining a synthesis of recent scholarship in such disciplines as law, economics, marine biology, and anthropology with original research into the fishing industry s history, the book represents a significant new departure in the study of ecology and change in human society.
