-Wondolleck and Yaffee bring a practiced eye, honed on the study of terrestrial ecosystem-based management and collaborative approaches to conservation, to the analysis of marine ecosystem-based management. Built around a core set of case studies, the book demonstrates that such an approach can achieve meaningful, durable conservation benefitting ecosystems and people.---Barry D. Gold -Director, Environment Program, Walton Family Foundation - -This thoughtful analysis of marine ecosystem-based management offers what this field has been missing: confidence that MEBM can work, and practical guidance for scientists, practitioners, and policy wonks. The good news is that there is more than one way to successfully manage coastal systems. The fundamental element of success is people: leaders committed to working together and building the trust and common understanding to get things done.---Mary Ruckelshaus -Director, The Natural Capital Project - -Ecosystem-based approaches to management are about governance, people, and the social fabric in which they exist. The authors have superbly captured the essential approaches to ecosystem-based management in marine environments. Clear, concise, practical examples make this book an excellent reference for anyone involved in marine conservation management.---Billy D.
