Abstract

In this article the authors are convinced that environmental stewardship is becoming the newly dominant mode of fisheries governance. Even critics who deny that environmentalism is currently dominant predict that it is only a matter of time before it will become so. If the fishing industry responds to the challenge of environmental stewardship negatively, treating environmentalism as a threat to be faced down, it will experience the relentless advance of the nature-conservationist agenda as an alien imposition from above. If, however, industry responds positively, as the examples in the previous section indicate it has already started to do, by embracing environmentalism as an opportunity to demonstrate its own commitment, it will be able to influence the way in which environmental integration is shaped, so averting the imposition of top-down nature conservationism.
