“…Indigenous peoples have been subsistence fishing in the Laurentian Great Lakes for millennia, since the Wisconsinan continental ice sheet retreated north of the basin, circa 12,000 years ago (Lauer 2015). Gill nets, hoopnets, spears, and weirs were used to capture species such as American Eel Anguilla rostrata (Box 4), Atlantic Salmon, Lake Sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens (Box 4), and suckers, and the abundance of fishes led to permanent settlements along the shores of the Great Lakes (Bogue 2000).…”

“…Great Lakes fisheries were initially governed through largely uncoordinated federal, provincial, and state regulations (Lauer 2015). The devastating impact of the invasive Sea Lamprey led to the 1954 Convention of Great Lakes Fisheries and the establishment of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission in 1955 to binationally coordinate fisheries management (Gaden et al 2008).…”

“…Such an approach may also have merit across political bounda ries, especially where waters are interconnected. The Laurentian Great Lakes are managed as a co-ordinated system despite involving two countries and multiple provinces and states (Lauer, 2015). Moving away from lake-by-lake management, at least for the millions of small-to intermediate-sized waterbod ies, is needed given the practical challenges of doing so.…”

Recreational fisheries represent the dominant fisheries sector targeting wild freshwater fishes in all industrialized nations and are becoming increasingly popular in some emerging economies. The socio-economic benefits of recreational fisheries are numerous and substantial. Recreational fisheries through their practices (e.g. overharvest, habitat change, release mortality, stocking and dispersal of non-native fishes), however, have been implicated in negative effects on populations and ecosystems. In inland waters, fish populations also face a variety of threats that are external to the recreational fisheries sector such that recreational fisheries often operate on top of already imperilled resources. This chapter characterizes the scope and magnitude of inland recreational fisheries globally, explores recreational fisheries as a coupled social-ecological system, reviews management strategies, identifies the main issues faced by inland recreational fisheries and discusses the future of recreational fishing in inland waters with an emphasis on research and information needs to ensure their long-term sustainability.
