Reviews

This book helpfully illuminates the question: do market-based systems which reward particular patterns of behaviour make more sense than establishing the institutions and rules for collective management systems? ...[The book] offers further evidence for the need to see resource management issues within this broader socio-institutional sphere, and the specificity of people and place in setting boundaries for what can be achieved in practice. - from the foreword by Camilla Toulmin, Director, International Institute for Environment and Development The publication of this book should give scholars and practitioners alike a solid reference material on how payments for ecosystem services can be used to provide actors the economic incentives to use marine and coastal resources in a manner that conserves them well into the future. - from the foreword by U. Rashid Sumaila, Professor and Director, Fisheries Centre & Fisheries Economics Research Unit, The University of British Columbia Readers will find good material on how to assess both social and ecological conditions, and use this information to develop tailored payment schemes to complement traditional institutional (and publicly financed) management. - Tundi Agardy, MPA News contributing editor
