Place-Based Ecosystem Management in the Open Ocean

vanna, where our ability to learn the rewards and perils of its vast landscape was the key to our survival. Now that humans have expanded far beyond our motherland, our success depends on our ability to handle the rewards and perils of ecosystems very different from the one that shaped us. Of these, none is larger, more complex, nor more difficult for people to fathom than the blue and black waters of the open ocean. Our terrestrial species pays little attention to the open ocean for several reasons:
