There is now widespread agreement that fish stocks are severely depletedand fishing activity must be limited. At the same time, the promiseof the "green" economy appears to offer profitable new opportunitiesfor a sustainable seafood industry. What do these seemingly contradictoryideas of natural limits and "green" growth mean in practice?What do they tell us more generally about current transformations tothe way nature is valued and managed? And who loses and benefitsfrom these new ecological arrangements? Far from abstract policyconsiderations, Patrick Bresnihan shows how new approaches to environmental management are transforming the fisheries, generating novel forms of exclusion in the process. Transforming the Fisheries examines how scientific, economic, and regulatory responses to the problem of overfishing have changed over the past twenty years. Based on fieldwork in a commercial fishingport in Ireland, Bresnihan weaves together ethnography, science, history,and social theory to explore the changing relationships betweenknowledge, nature, and the market. For Bresnihan, many of the keyconcepts that govern contemporary environmental thinking-suchas scarcity, sustainability, the commons, and enclosure-should bereconsidered in light of the collapse of global fish stocks and the differentways this problem is being addressed. Only by considering theseconcepts anew can we begin to reinvent the ecological commons weneed for the future.
