Oregon's Fishing Community Adapting to Change in Policy, Management, and Markets : Documenting Women's Roles and Adaptive Capacity in an Evolving Industry

Creator:: Calhoun, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Commercial fishing research often focuses on ecological (gear, stock assessment, traceability) or economic factors. Truly understanding the social-ecological system requires considering the entire "human dimension" and this includes the social, cultural, and legal/policy aspects as well. An understudied yet important factor is women's contribution to fishing at the family and...

Today, Tomorrow, and Every Day After That: How Commercial Salmon Fishermen in Bristol Bay, Alaska Define and Work Toward a Sustainable Salmon Fishery

Creator:: Kuletz, Ivan
Abstract:: Rising human global population, appetite for seafood, and the effects of climate change have pushed commercial marine fisheries around the globe onto trajectories that are chillingly unsustainable. Input from fishermen on what it means to have a “sustainable fishery” is often absent or ignored. Some commercial fisheries are lauded for...
