Based on a global interdisciplinary approach and dedication to sustainability, this work brings together scholarship and storytelling to provide a robust understanding of how seafood traditions can strengthen local communities and enhance visitor experiences, and foster sustainable development of marine environments."Dimitrios Buhalis, Professor, Bournemouth University, UK"This book features diverse scholars who explore the interplay of seafood, sustainability and tourism in a fascinating array of cases: New Zealand fish and chip shops, seaweed and sea urchin foraging, aquaponics, seafood festivals, and British and Spanish restaurants. Chapters ponder the role of taste, sea-to-table initiatives, human–nature relationships, communication practices, and climate change in promoting or hindering sustainable seafood tourism and offer valuable insights for students and scholars."Carole Counihan, Professor Emerita of Anthropology, Millersville University, USA"Excellently written and timely book discussing global perspectives on sustainable seafood tourism experiences from its foundations and practices to local cultural traditions, and future directions.
