The photograph above was taken by Hugo Schuitemaker (www.zeeliefhebbers.nl). It portrays a Dutch fisher who, later in life, has shifted to a sustainable, MSC-certified fishery. Only time will tell whether this has been a viable choice, and what the consequences will be. The quest for sustainability marks many policy initiatives for coasts and seas, however, and therefore the social science research agenda too. The picture is therefore an appropriate contemporary 'image' for MARE.
