Fishing for social realities--Challenges to sustainable fisheries management in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve
Social-ecological complexity challenges conservation-oriented interventions even in settings with a small number of actors and conflicts involved. This article examines the development and trajectory of King and Snow Crab fisheries in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve (BR), the highly remote but globa...
