The blue commons are our oceans- they feed us all, link our continents, provide a natural economy on coasts around the world and are a crucial part of our ecosystem. But in recent years the oceans have been plundered. They are currently undergoing an existential crisis that deman...ds a global response. Why have our oceans been so overlooked in the conversation about the climate catastrophe? This book exposes the corrosion of the blue commons through six trends - encroachment or destruction, enclosure, social forgetting, commodification, privatisation and colonisation. The commoners - mainly small-scale fisheries and coastal communities - have fought back, with some inspiring and positive results. It provides a road-map for reviving the concept of the blue commons, as belonging to us all, protected from plunder by businesses and nations seeking profit at the expense of everyone.

Large countries with burgeoning populations such as China, India, and Brazil have economies that have grown exponentially over the last few decades, and projections indicate that they will continue to do so for some time to come. This book argues that this introduction of the maj...ority of the world's population into the global economy should be considered a source of great opportunity. Auerswald links personal, social entrepreneurship narratives with global movements, in which 'the rise of the rest' are not threats to the world's stability but rather unique opportunities to discover new pathways toward progress and prosperity.
