Poverty Reduction through Sustainable Fisheries: Emerging Policy and Governance Issues in Southeast Asia

Beyond previous more simplistic approaches, this book takes a giant step towards understanding and translating into people-centered policies the actual position and complexity of fish production in Southeast Asian economies. Tackling how fisheries and aquaculture are embedded in local and household economies and linked through dynamic supply chains to more distant, even global markets, the book makes essential policy and analytical recommendations. SEARCA and ISEAS have made a major contribution to the intellectual debate and action agenda for Southeast Asian fisheries.--Dr Meryl Williams, Chair of the Commission of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research
