The Gene Rush: Finding New Value in Aquatic Biodiversity -- Managing Aquatic Genetic Resources: Tools and Policy Gaps -- Whose to Share? Ownership and Control of Aquatic Genetic Resources -- Thinking Locally: Rights of Indigenous and Local Communities -- Acting Globally: National Laws on Access to Aquatic Resources -- Results that Count: Meaningful Benefits for Fishing Communities -- Putting Principles into Practice.
"This work is the first to look at the issues of ownership, governance and trade in aquatic genetic resources. Blue Genes describes the growing demand for aquatic genetic resources, and the desperate need to fill the policy vacuum for the management and conservation of aquatic biodiversity as a foundation for rules governing access to and use of aquatic genetic resources. Special attention is paid to the rights of indigenous and local communities providing access to those resources, and their role in managing and conserving aquatic biodiversity."--Jacket.
