Reviews

'The valuable work reflected in this publication helps illuminate a clear path towards solutions to the fisheries subsidies challenge. It is time for the international community to harvest the lessons learnt and take decisive action to save not only the resource, but also marine ecosystems upon which millions of people depend for nutrition and employment.' Achim Steiner, Executive Director, UNEP 'With so many fisheries dangerously close to exhaustion, subsidies that drive overfishing are a form of policy madness. This UNEP compendium offers an excellent overview of the problems -- and potential solutions -- surrounding an issue of global importance.' James P. Leape, Director General, WWF International 'Wherever in the world you are, read this book if you want to know why your children, 40 years from now, might not be able to catch, trade and eat fish or even know most of the fish species we have enjoyed until today.' Guillermo Valles Galmes, Chairman of the WTO Negotiating Group on Rules, 2005-2010 'Subsidies have an enormous impact on the sustainability of fishing and the fairness of international trade in fisheries products. The analysis and case studies in this outstanding and highly policy relevant book reflect the commendable engagement by UNEP on this important issue.' Rashid Sumaila , Director of the Fisheries Centre and the Fisheries Economics Research Unit, University of British Columbia
