ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the case for integrated evaluation of and action on the social relations of production and consumption that determine sustainable seafood practices. We argue that by emphasising these social relations the sustainable seafood movement can go beyond its current technocratic evaluations and economic incentives for promoting seafood. It also enables us to identify new pathways for effectively steering sustainable production, trade and consumption. Building on the findings of the preceding chapters, we conclude with seven propositions that provide a starting point for an integrated governance approach to seafood sustainability into the future.
