All the Fish in the Sea: Maximum Sustainable Yield and the Failure of Fisheries Management is a 2011 book by

fisheries, the US supported laws that would protect the US tuna and salmon fisheries while limiting the ability of other nations, and Japan in particular, to fish in US waters. The book thus ties fisheries management inseparably with Cold War politics.[1]

In particular, Finley traces the development of the concept of

Tragedy of the Commons
" by demonstrating that governmental action and international policy led to overfishing, and not the self-interested actions of individual fishers.

Finley argues that to achieve a sustainable future for fisheries, "we need to change the focus of management from estimating harvest to maintaining the population structure of fish stocks and their ecosystems."[4] The book is also important as part of a movement to understand the oceans as a place with a history, rather than an unchanging void around which human history happens.[5]
