Small-scale fisheries are a major source of food and employment
around the world. Yet, many small-scale fishers work in conditions
that are neither safe nor secure. Millions of them are poor, and
often they are socially and politically marginalized.
Macro-economic and institutional mechanisms are essential to
address these poverty and vulnerability problems; however,
interventions at the local community level are also necessary. This
requires deep understanding of what poverty means to the fishers,
their families and communities; how they cope with it; and the
challenges they face to increase resiliency and improve their lives
for the better. This book provides a global perspective, situating
small-scale fisheries within the broad academic discourse on
poverty, fisheries management and development. In-depth case
studies from fifteen countries in Latin America, Europe, South and
Southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa, demonstrate the enormously
complex ecological, economic, social, cultural and political
contexts of this sector. Conclusions for policy-making, formulated
as a joint statement by the authors, argue that fisheries
development, poverty alleviation, and resource management must be
integrated within a comprehensive governance approach that also
looks beyond fisheries. The scientific editors, Svein Jentoft and
Arne Eide, are both with the Norwegian College of Fishery Science,
Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries and Economics, University of
Tromso, Norway.
