Explore the complex realities of ocean grabbing and the marketisation of marine resources with ‘Private Oceans.’ Fiona McCormack’s insightful study unveils how neoliberal environmental management leads to the enclosure of seas and the privatisation of ecosystem services.

This compelling work is vital for anyone interested in fisheries, environmental policy, and global resource economics. It offers a critical perspective for reimagining sustainable ocean management and societal systems.
