      abstract = {This book analyzes empirical data from three specific  Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs)  designed to establish rules for the conservation and  management of fish stocks in the ocean, in order to assess  their effectiveness in converting science into policy for  the recovery and maintenance of fishery populations. The  three RFMOs discussed are the CCAMLR (Convention for the  Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources), the  ICCAT (International Commission for the Conservation of  Atlantic Tunas) and the CCSBT (Commission for the  Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna). The book seeks to  understand when governments choose to listen to science,  and establishes a framework to examine the institutional  designs currently in place to accommodate RFMO policy  suggestions and the conditions under which they are  implemented successfully. The study will be of interest to  academics and professionals broadly interested in global  environmental governance and international relations, and  will specifically appeal to policymakers, conservationists,  and environmental researchers interested in fishery  management and policy at the global and regional scale.  Gonçalves provides an accessible and comprehensive analysis  of RMFOs. She offers valuable insights into the role of  science and politics in shaping sustainable fisheries  policies for the open oceans. ---Peter M Haas, Professor  Department of Political Science, University of  Massachusetts Amherst As envisaged by the UN Decade of  Ocean proclamation, this book is an important and sincere  effort, hopefully to be accompanied by many others to come  during this promising decade, that will help to build a  common framework to ensure that ocean science can support  countries and the international community in creating  improved conditions for the sustainable development of our  cherished Ocean. ---Fabio H.
