Full Description

This open access book unites experts from a range of social-science disciplines. It provides a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary overview of how to study recreational fishers as coupled social-ecological system, presenting unique methodological insights for an improved understanding and management of recreational fisheries. The book informs readers about state-of-the art methods for engaging fishers, for quantifying and predicting fisher behaviors, for understanding outcomes of fisher behaviors, and for fully integrating social-science data into recreational-fisheries management—all in the hopes to support sustainable management of complex social-ecological fisheries systems.

The content appeals to social scientists and ecologists alike. It is a key resource for students, fisheries managers and fisheries biologists, especially those without formal training in social sciences, and for research scientists and educators developing programs and courses in the field of human dimensions of fish and wildlife. While focused on recreational fisheries, the toolsets and integrative concepts summarized in this book will be of interest to many other natural resource and biodiversity management contexts where humans and the environment interact.
