In June 2014, FAO member-states endorsed the Voluntary Guidelines
for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines).
These Guidelines are one of the most significant landmarks for
small-scale fisheries around the world. They are comprehensive in
terms of topics covered, and progressive, with their foundations
based on human rights and other key principles. It can be
anticipated that implementing the SSF Guidelines, whether at local,
national, or regional levels, will be challenging. This book
contains in-depth case studies where authors discuss the extent to
which the Guidelines can help improve the realities of small-scale
fishing men and women globally and make their livelihoods and
communities more secure. This will require policy intervention and
innovation, along with contributions of civil society organizations
and academia. However, most of all it will necessitate the
empowerment of fishing people so that they can become active
participants in decision making on matters where their well-being
and human rights are at stake. By endorsing the SSF Guidelines,
states have committed themselves to support and facilitate this
development. This book asks whether states can successfully "walk
the talk," and provides advice as to how they can do so. The
collection of case studies sets the platform for an interactive
dialogue space for researchers, policy makers, civil society and
small-scale fishing communities to start the conversation about the
monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the SSF
Guidelines at local, national, regional and global levels. An added
value is that it helps add focus to our work as civil society
activists involved in ensuring the application of the SSF
Guidelines. Naseegh Jaffer - General Secretary, World Forum of
Fisher People (WFFP) This collection offers many ways in which
institutions enabling small-scale fisheries can protect and promote
sustainability, food security, customary tenure, self-management,
and market access, while fostering such benefits as ecosystem-based
management, protected areas, incorporation of local knowledge, and
poverty alleviation. You will want to put this book in the hands of
policy-makers and practitioners immediately -- and for years to
come. Evelyn Pinkerton - Professor, Simon Fraser University, Canada
