NAPA Bulletin Volume #28: Anthropology and Fisheries Management in the United States: Methodology for Research Applied fisheries anthropology continues to grow while making substantial contributions to the understanding of fisheries management in the United States. It has become increasingly clear that fisheries can no longer be productively managed solely based on biological and ecological criteria. Cultures and communities of all those who are involved in fisheries must be taken into account in order to manage the marine ecosystem in a sustainable manner. The eleven chapters in this anthology discuss various social science contributions dealing with federal and state efforts in managing fisheries. Using ethnographic examples from various parts of the United States, the volume presents a diverse set of research methods such as traditional fieldwork, survey methodology, cultural modeling, participatory research, and quantitative indicators-based assessment to study fisheries. This compilation suggests that differences in methodology are due in part to the nature and location of the communities and fisheries being studied. » More Details » View Cover
