One of the main goals in fisheries governance is to promote
viability and sustainability in small-scale fishing communities.
This is not an easy task given external and internal pressure,
including environmental change and competition with other economic
sectors searching for development in the coastal region. A
comprehensive understanding of small-scale fisheries in their own
context, and from a regional perspective, is an important step in
supporting the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on
Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines). This
book contributes to the global effort by offering knowledge,
insights and lessons about small-scale fisheries in Latin America
and the Caribbean. The 20 case studies included in the book make
explicit the various dimensions that are intrinsic to small-scale
fisheries in the region, and identify conditions and situations
that affect the wellbeing of fishing communities. The book offers
insights regarding the challenges faced by small-scale fisheries in
the region, and, aligning with the objectives of the SSF
Guidelines, provides lessons and experiences about how to make
small-scale fishing communities viable while maintaining
sustainable fisheries. This important book illustrates the
complexity, diversity, and dynamics of small-scale fisheries in the
Latin American and Caribbean region and presents experiences,
tools, and approaches to lead towards sustainable and viable
fisheries. The reader will gain a new understanding on the range of
actions, approaches, and information needed for their successful
management. John F. Caddy, International Fisheries Expert This
book, prepared by the Too Big To Ignore partnership, constitutes a
very valuable resource for policy makers, fisheries scientists,
non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, and
fishing communities interested in putting in place sound management
strategies, research, and actions to contribute to the
sustainability of small-scale fisheries and food security in Latin
America and the Caribbean region. Juan Carlos Seijo, Professor of
Fisheries Bioeconomics at Marist University of Merida
