Urban and Community Fisheries Programs: Development and Management

"Urban and Community Fisheries Programs: Development and Management" offers a comprehensive guide to establishing and managing sustainable fishing opportunities in urban environments. We target undergraduate students and provide foundational knowledge and practical tools necessary for success. As urban populations grow, the need for recreational activities and connections with nature becomes critical. Urban fisheries programs address this by creating sustainable fishing opportunities within or near cities, promoting well-being, community engagement, and environmental awareness.

We navigate the three key stages of an urban fisheries program:

• Development: Identifying suitable water bodies, assessing fish populations, and considering factors like public access, safety regulations, and infrastructure needs. Community engagement is emphasized to ensure programs reflect the unique needs of the target population.

• Management: Effective management through fish stocking strategies, habitat improvement, and protocols for monitoring fish populations and water quality. We explore responsible fishing practices and promote ethical angling.

• Evaluation: Regular assessments through metrics such as angler participation, satisfaction levels, and contributions to conservation efforts. We equip readers with skills to evaluate program success.

Featuring real-world case studies, our book illustrates successful approaches to urban fisheries programs globally. This guide is a call to action, fostering accessible recreational opportunities and environmental stewardship. It is the perfect starting point for anyone eager to contribute to a sustainable and nature-connected urban future.
