Editorial Reviews

'… a beautifully written work based on extremely thorough research which effectively opens a new area of scholarship to the academe … Anyone interested in the issues of fragmentation, coherence and interaction in international law must read this book and many will wish to pick up the research themes outlined in it in their own research.' IUCN Academy of Environmental Law

'Trading Fish, Saving Fish is an extremely insightful book and will reward careful reading, whether for a wider view of current fragmentation problems or for a highly specific consideration of aspects of fisheries law. On both counts the book represents scholarship of the most accomplished order and posits a valuable contribution to the emerging reconsideration of regimes and their functions within a fragmented international order, alongside important insights into the practical mechanics of fisheries governance.' Richard Caddell, Transnational Environmental Law
