(January 30, 2009) May 31 - June 3, 2009: United States Society for Ecological Economics (USSEE) Conference 2009 Symposium.
Symposium Abstract: Modern fisheries constitute a quintessential ecological-economic problem, wherein 60 years of "rational" management has led to unimaginable erosion of fish stocks along with their habitats, food webs, and ecosystems.
