For small-scale fisheries around the world, the Blue Growth and
Blue Economy initiatives may provide sustainable development, but
only insofar as they align with the global consensus enshrined in
the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale
Fisheries in the context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication.
If states do nothing to fulfill the promises they made when they
endorsed these guidelines in 2014, the Blue Economy will come at a
loss for small-scale fisheries and further their marginalization in
the ocean economy. Under the umbrella of Blue Justice, this book
demonstrates that these risks are real and must be considered as
states implement their sustainable ocean development plans. These
are human rights issues, which are embedded into governance
principles and institutions and which make a difference for
small-scale fisheries people in their daily lives. In stressing the
importance of policies and institutions that build on the
experiences of small-scale fisheries people in the contexts in
which they operate, this book draws on case studies of small-scale
fisheries from countries on all continents to clarify what Blue
Justice entails for small-scale fisheries and make suggestions for
real change. "Through the Blue Justice paradigm, this book flags
the relevance of recognizing the potential impact that different
factors, including the Blue Economy approach, could bring to
fishing communities, their livelihoods, cultural traditions, and
other potential multidimensional conflicts. Vulnerability in
fishing communities can increase and inequalities can be reinforced
at different levels if individuals and community capabilities are
not strengthened... A first of its kind, not to be missed, this
book is informative, purposeful, and pertinent in an era of
change". Silvia Salas, CINVESTAV, Marine Resources Department,
Merida, Mexico "The studies reveal that Blue Justice is a
'governability' issue, which requires establishing 'right'
institutions, that are transdisciplinary (integrated),
participatory, and holistic. It is implicit from these writings
that the SSF Guidelines and Blue Growth initiatives do not form two
different discourses, and that the implementation of the former
would resolve many of the justice issues caused by the latter, in
favor of small-scale fisheries and their communities". Oscar
Amarasinghe, Professor & Chancellor, Ocean University of Sri
Lanka and President, Sri Lanka Forum for Small Scale Fisheries
