" ‘We are where we are’ is a sound rule in policy analysis. Whatever direction decision-makers wish to pursue, they – and the public interest as well as the seas – will always benefit from a good understanding of realities. This book sets out fascinating insights into one country’s seafood governance. I salute and welcome it for that." - Tim Lang taken from the Foreword

"Miriam Greenwood's book makes a valuable contribution to answering the important question of what governs seafood production and distribution systems through an in-depth case study of the United Kingdom's seafood supply chains....I applaud the endeavor of this book as it makes an important contribution to both academics and practitioners by challenging existing governance theories and providing important insights on how seafood supply chains are governed. This content will undoubtedly be a valuable resource in informing current government and civil society efforts in driving legitimate, positive change that results in the achievement of public interests in the realms of seafood production and consumption" - Helen Packer, Ocean Yearbook Online June 2020
