Transforming the Fisheries
2016
Overview
There is now widespread agreement that fish stocks are severely
depleted and fishing activity must be limited. At the same time,
the promise of the green economy appears to offer profitable new
opportunities for a sustainable seafood industry. What do these
seemingly contradictory ideas of natural limits and green growth
mean in practice? What do they tell us more generally about current
transformations to the way nature is valued and managed? And who
suffers and who benefits from these new ecological arrangements?
Far from abstract policy considerations, Patrick Bresnihan shows
how new approaches to environmental management are transforming the
fisheries and generating novel forms of exclusion in the process.
Transforming the Fisheries examines how scientific,
economic, and regulatory responses to the problem of overfishing
have changed over the past twenty years. Based on fieldwork in a
commercial fishing port in Ireland, Bresnihan weaves together
ethnography, science, history, and social theory to explore the
changing relationships between knowledge, nature, and the market.
For Bresnihan, many of the key concepts that govern contemporary
environmental thinking-such as scarcity, sustainability, the
commons, and enclosure-should be reconsidered in light of the
collapse of global fish stocks and the different ways this problem
is being addressed. Only by considering these concepts anew can we
begin to reinvent the ecological commons we need for the future.
