Marine Ecosystem-Based Management in Practice Julia Wondolleck and Steven
Yaffee are hopeful.  Rather than lamenting the persistent conflicts in
global marine ecosystems, they instead sought out examples where managers
were doing things differently and making progress against great odds. They
interviewed planners, managers, community members, fishermen, and
environmentalists throughout the world to find the best lessons for others
hoping to advance marine conservation. Their surprising discovery?
Successful marine management requires not only the right mix of science,
law, financing, and organizational structure, but also an atmosphere of
collaboration-a comfortable place for participants to learn about issues,
craft solutions, and develop the interpersonal relationships, trust, and
understanding needed to put plans into action.
 
Marine Ecosystem-Based Management in Practice is the first practical guide
for the marine conservation realm. In a unique collection of case studies,
the authors showcase successful collaborative approaches to ecosystem-based
management. The authors introduce the basic concepts of ecosystem-based
management and five different pathways for making progress from community to
multinational levels. They spotlight the  characteristics that are evident
in all successful cases -the governance structures and social motivations
that make it work. Case analyses ranging from the Gulf of Maine to the
Channel Islands in Southern California comprise the bulk of the book,
augmented by text boxes showcasing examples of guiding documents important
to the process. They devote several ending chapters to discussion of the
interpersonal relationships critical to successful implementation of marine
ecosystem-based management. The book concludes with a discussion of the
implications for policy and on-the-ground practice.
 
This book offers a hopeful message to policy makers, managers,
practitioners, and students who will find this an indispensable guide to
field-tested, replicable marine conservation management practices that work.
