Summary

Increasing urban and suburban human populations and declines in fishing participation have reawakened an interest in urban and community fisheries programs. This timely work contains 40 papers presented at the September 2007 AFS Urban Fishing Symposium. Chapter authors synthesize current research and provide real world examples through case study analysis, review new management techniques, and offer topic insights. The book will appeal to fisheries managers, administrators, park superintendents, academics, researchers, and students.
