For more than a decade, hundreds of safety trainers, including the U.S. Coast Guard, have relied on this book* as their primary reference and teaching tool. Originally written for use in the North Pacific commercial fishery, the fifth edition applies equally well in the northern waters of the Atlantic Ocean, including the New England region. Among other USCG-approved safety information, the book includes directions on conducting safety drills mandated by the Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-424).

This book is a significant contribution to the history of international marine scientific organizations. It looks in-depth at the process of creating the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES). It seems obvious enough that such an organization was needed-the best way for the Pacific Rim nations to gain knowledge about the enormous North Pacific Ocean is through cooperative research.    Yet the process required aggressive promotion, incredible patience, and dogged perseverance; these eventually led to PICES, a vibrant six-nation international marine organization, contributing substantially to marine science.

Harbormasters at small ports, especially in northern areas, will find this book invaluable in day-to-day operation and long-term maintenance of their harbors. The chief difference for northern harbors is the need for more robust structures built to withstand the severe climate. Topics include maintenance planning, repair and maintenance techniques, conducting inspections, harbor and port structures, construction materials, and effect of the environment on materials and structures. Other subjects are hazardous materials, utilities, harbor economics, safety, and creating a resource library. Author Alan Sorum is port director in Valdez, Alaska.

Through the dual lenses of Western science and traditional Native knowledge, Imam Cimiucia explores the ecological, social, and economic causes of coastal ecosystem change on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. Coastal communities there—and the world over—have witnessed dramatic changes in their homes in recent years, and this innovative collaboration brings together the research efforts of marine scientists with the experiences, perceptions, and knowledge of Sugpiaq elders and other village residents whose lives are shaped by the sea. This book offers insight into the resilience—and limits—of marine ecosystems, as well as the vast archive of knowledge and expertise held by different cultures.

Strong and Criddle relate the history of the Bering Sea pollock fishery and its management from World War II to present. Anecdotes from fishermen and fishery managers, and numerous graphs and color photos, help tell the story of why the pollock fishery is a success and how close it came to being an economic disaster.  Alaska pollock support one of the largest fisheries in the world the biggest fishery where catches are used for human consumption. Because of the American Fisheries Act and other factors, today the pollock fishery is in an unparalleled period of stability, where fishing operations have been given increased flexibility and have responded with increased responsibility.
