This study was initiated for the Inuvialuit, by the Fisheries Joint Management Committee (FJMC), to assess opportunities for commercial fishery development in the Canadian Beaufort Sea-Amundsen Gulf area. Reviews of existing knowledge did not find invertebrate or fish stocks in the area capable of sustaining a viable commercial export fishery. They found that coastal and offshore commercial fisheries in arctic Canada are severely constrained by environmental, social, and economic factors. Lacking a proven resource base, the FJMC has two recommended options if it plans to proceed with fishery development: 1 ) to conduct biological stock assessment research in hope of locating a suitable stock, and 2) to seek1 development opportunities in other areas such as sport fisheries. Before any commercial development proceeds, it should have local support, be sustainable, and optimize benefits to the Inuvialuit. Given the difficulty and cost of fishery research and development in the area, it is vital that interested parties such as the FJMC, government, and others formulate an overall research and development strategy and work cooperatively towards its completion. An approach to fishery development is described, with a discussion of constraining factors and specific project recommendations

The case studies contained in this book show real life examples of complex problems being addressed through collaboration. The problems confronting modern society are complex and do not lend themselves to simple solutions or linear decision making. They require the involvement of many stakeholders. This is often brought about by networks, which bring together a multitude of players in the search for solutions to public policy issues. This can be challenging, as differing viewpoints and personalities, and often conflicting interests need to be acknowledged and reconciled. Yet without the involvement of all interested parties, solutions that emerge will likely be partial, distorted, and short-lived. The cases span a broad spectrum, including issues of poverty reduction, criminal gang reduction, environmental reparation, economic development for First Nations, building age-friendly communities, and co-management of fisheries.

The World of Sea Cucumbers: Challenges, Advances, and Innovations provides broad coverage of sea cucumber biology, ecology, fisheries, aquaculture, and trade while also bringing forward novel cultural, socioeconomic and scientific topics related to commercial and non-commercial species worldwide. Written by international experts in their respective fields, the book offers a unique outlook into the fascinating world of sea cucumbers while also providing valuable information to various stakeholders and researchers. Commercial fisheries and aquaculture programs are addressed, especially as they relate to emerging species, but the book also covers novel, understudied or lesser-known biological, ecological, and commercial aspects. The involvement of Indigenous peoples and minorities in various community-level initiatives and on the cultural significance/impact of sea cucumbers in many regions are also examined. Finally, breakthroughs and emerging biotechnologies centered on sea cucumbers are presented. - Brings together a network of experts covering broad sea cucumber topics, from basic biology and commercial trade to socioeconomic value and novel biotechnologies - Offers worldwide coverage, including Asia, the Indo-Pacific, Africa, Northern Europe, North and South America, and the poles - Raises global awareness on little-known facts of sea cucumber importance
