ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the historical approaches in this volume, follows eight subdisciplines to build an interdisciplinary science of resource management for coastal and marine environments. Social-ecological resilience is a key element of the new interdisciplinary science, as it introduces a higher-order management objective. The World Forum for Fisher Peoples (WFFP) and the World Forum of Fish Harvesters and Fish Workers (WFF) have interpreted this as a policy position to privatize ocean and coastal resources. The World Bank-initiated Global Partnership for Oceans which advocating for "rights-based fishing" reforms to provide incentives for good management. McCay's three key words for this progression are that the commons property ocean fishery became, in effect, "enclosed" by regulation; enclosed fisheries became "privatized" by license limitation and the distribution of individual quotas; and "communities" are now being assembled out of quota holders. The chapter explores two divergent strategies may be used to build such an interdisciplinary science.
