Overview

Treated here are ecological and socioeconomic aspects of the human exploitation of nearshore and intertidal resources on rocky shores, excluding fish, in South Africa and Chile. Impacts on both target species and ecosystem functioning are considered. The subsistence and commercial benefits of exploitation are discussed, and management options are reviewed in the contexts of conservation biology and socioeconomics. An important feature of the book is the intercontinental comparison, which highlights both the similarities and differences in the types of organisms exploited and the consequences for community-level interaction. The scientific framework for sound resource management is provided, and the principles derived cover a diverse array of ecological processes for researchers in the fields of littoral exploitation, marine and community ecology, anthropology and socioeconomics.
