“Asia-Pacific Fishing Livelihoods shows what could be addressed in fisheries management, why it is important to address … . It is an easily accessible and concise synopsis to be considered by academics and practitioners alike as they continue to inform and shape policies that dramatically impact the health and well-being of millions involved in fisheries livelihoods and, more broadly, to the billions of socially and ecologically marginalized who rely on access and utilization of government-managed resources.” (David Fazzino, Maritime Studies, Vol. 21 (2), June, 2022)
