Valuing Fisheries
Humans have been fishing for food and pleasure since time immemorial. Long before the development of powerful commercial fishing vessels, tribal communities sought fish and other marine life for food and ceremonial purposes. Today, there is a significant tourism sector around diving and snorkelling.Commercial and recreational fisheries often compete for the same fish stock. Together these two groups compete with those who wish to promote a 'look but don't take' attitude to fish. And in some cases, traditional indigenous fishers have special demands that can be inconsistent with the needs of other groups.The limited nature of fish stocks can lead to arguments between these different groups. Too often the arguments are based on a wrong use of economic data. Access to and sharing of fisheries resources need not necessarily be based on economic data and principles, but if they are, the proper approach must be used.This book sets out in clear language, with simple examples, the correct economic method to be used. The aim is to improve decision-making so that everyone can enjoy a seafood meal, drop a line in the water or observe fish in a natural environment without unnecessary conflict.

Longo, Rebecca Clausen, and Brett Clark explore the role human influence plays in this crisis, highlighting the social and economic forces that are at the heart of this looming ecological problem.

The Voice, Your Choice
Read this book before you vote in The Voice to Parliament referendum. Whether a No or a Yes voter, it may transform the way you think and influence your reasons. Tor Hundloe draws widely on evolutionary psychology, pre-history, history, anthropology, geography, economics, biology and environmental science to provide an informed context for considering the consequences, good and bad, of the collision of ancient and modern cultures. Few would deny the material benefits of modernity, yet descendants of the First Australians were most severely affected by it. For Australians who believe in a fair go and a humanist ideal this is still to be rectified. Be prepared for provocative insights, and a smattering of dry humour.
