"This book provides an insider's perspective of the process of establishing a complicated system of state marine protected areas through the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative-something many thought could not be done because of the enormous geographic region and the large contingent of individuals, organizations, and agencies who had a stake in the outcome, and whose goals were often very different. The process was contentious and often emotional but the collaborative process prevailed and a network of protected areas is in place as a result. The success of this public process is something to celebrate, but the author wrote the book to demonstrate the far-reaching value of an opportunity to learn from an extraordinary set of social experiments and apply those lessons to similar situations. This is a story where government worked hand-in-hand with nongovernmental partners to achieve success, and many of the strategies that worked well can be adapted to other situations. From today's vantage point, the MLPA process can be viewed as a great case study of innovative state-level action"--
Autorenporträt
Steven L. Yaffee is Professor of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy at the University of Michigan. He has worked for more than forty years on federal endangered species, public lands and ecosystem management policy and is the author or co-author of five books: Prohibitive Policy: Implementing the Federal Endangered Species Act (MIT Press 1982); The Wisdom of the Spotted Owl: Policy Lessons for a New Century (Island Press 1994); Ecosystem Management in the United States: An Assessment of Current Experience (Island Press 1996); and Making Collaboration Work: Lessons from Innovation in Natural Resources Management (Island Press 2000). A native of Washington, DC, he spent his youth hearing stories about public policy and politics while experiencing firsthand the loss of native habitat associated with urban sprawl; ultimately, that led to an interest in improving the process of decision making so that more environmentally sound decisions can be made. He has facilitated numerous collaborative processes across North America, and assisted a set of philanthropic foundations with ways to develop evaluation metrics for their conservation programs. He is currently working on a new book detailing the history and lessons of the California marine protected areas designation process. Dr. Yaffee received his PhD in environmental policy and planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His undergraduate and master's degrees are in natural resource management and policy from the University of Michigan. He has been a faculty member at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and a researcher at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the World Wildlife Fund.
