Fishery Science in Galapagos:   From a Resource-Focused to a Social–Ecological Systems Approach. 

 -  2014 
<br/><br/> This chapter reviews the origin and advances of fishery science in the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador), before and after the creation of the Galapagos Marine Reserve and its co-management system. It explains how these events triggered the transition from a resource-focused to a social–ecological systems approach, which, however, remains incomplete due in part to a continuing dominance of the resource-focused approach within the structure and function of local institutions. It is argued that further progress toward a full social–ecological systems approach is needed to solve the increasingly complex socio-environmental problems faced by the archipelago. Transformation of the Charles Darwin Foundation into an interdisciplinary research center is suggested as a key move toward this goal that would increase the adaptive capacity and resilience of local institutions to deal with potential impact of globalization and climate change on the archipelago.
