This chapter details the governance and management of estuarine fish ecology, habitats and fisheries, whereby the governance in turn covers the policies, administrative bodies and legislative instruments. It uses case studies predominantly from North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Japan but other areas are mentioned where possible. It describes the management and legal approaches to the means of controlling human activities and the way in which management also has to include economic, technological, societal and cultural aspects. In addition, because of the inherent importance of connectivity, the chapter emphasises that the management of estuarine habitats, fish and fisheries also depends on the management of catchments and the adjacent sea areas where these affect estuaries.
