This book is a narrative non-fiction, based on the patchy
epistemologies of traditional small-scale fishers in India and the
Indian Ocean region. It specifically explores the impact of climate
change on Fish and Fishers, and the mutual entanglements in their
eco-social world. Further, it critically examines the nature of
climate change adaptation and its implications on small-scale
fisheries. Both climate change impact and adaptation responses are
examined from the situated knowledge and everyday lived experiences
of Fishers. Stories of their everyday struggles from diverse
eco-social worlds shape these patchy epistemologies. Further, this
book through these stories unearths the transitions in governance
and changing relationships between Fish, Fishers, and the rest of
the eco-social world. Responding ethically to the problems of
climate change, warming oceans, fish scarcity, overfishing, and
pollution requires us to break away from the paradigms that locate
Nature and Society as binaries and commodities. Blue justice can be
achieved only if strategies aimed at adaptation, conservation and
well-being are dialogical, inclusive, and Fish-Fisher centred. This
book offers insights into the worldviews of Fishers and their
stewardship, wisdom, and experience in healing today’s warming
world. Locating the eco-social worlds of Fish and Fishers in
alternative worldviews, this book strives to find meaningful
pathways for just transitions. It will be of interest to academics
and researchers working in the field of climate change, fisheries,
disaster studies, and sustainable livelihoods as well as related
subjects of social work and social justice.
