'Overall, this book is a welcome contribution for two reasons. First, it gathers useful qualitative information, not always easily accessible, on marine and fisheries policies in Chile, Mexico, and Peru, presenting them to a broader English-speaking audience. Second, the book covers a wide range of topics that, from a dissemination point of view, would add to the understanding of stakeholders related to marine and fisheries activities in the selected countries.'Osvaldo Urrutia Silva, Ocean Yearbook 2021
