Recreational Fisheries: Social, Economic and Management Aspects

This valuable collection of overview papers and case studies, produced by the European Inland Fisheries and Advisory Commission (EIFAC) for FAO, brings together international experts to examine all aspects of recreational fisheries in inland waters including: – current status and trends in recreational fisheries; – interactions between recreational fisheries and other sectors; – socio–economic aspects of recreational fisheries; – criteria for the management of recreational fisheries – priorities for research and development including education and training; – the future of recreational fisheries over the next decade An attempt is made to identify the factors which influence, enhance and inhibit the present use and future development of recreational fisheries, to develop strategic guidelines for the effective management of recreational fisheries, and to recognise best practice for fishermen taking part in recreational fishing.
