Book excerpt: "Through more and 30 original case studies related to contemporary conservation and management issues in fisheries, this new book challenges students to develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills that will serve them as future natural resource professionals. Intended to encourage students to go beyond the 'information' level of many science texts, these case studies have no 'right answers'. Many of the cases are presented in a dilemma format, where students are asked to assess information from a variety of sources, find additional information as needed, and propose and evaluate alternative solutions. Cases are approached from a variety of dimensions (biological, ecological, political, cultural, and socioeconomic) and stakeholder perspectives. Spiral binding allows the book to lie flat for easy reference during classroom discussions and activities. This companion Instructor's Guide pairs each full case study with a detailed set of teaching notes that cover suggested lesson plans, supplemental reference materials, and a companion CD containing case-linked PowerPoints that include all tables and digital figures from the cases."--Publisher's description.
