    Creator:
    Onyango, Paul
    Abstract:
    Poverty is currently among the challenging global problems that requires sound alleviation strategies.

  • Are Small-scale Fisheries Economically Viable?

    Creator:
    Sumaila, Rashid and Hotte, Ngaio
    Abstract:
    The contributions of small-scale fisheries to income and employment are well recognized but not sufficiently understood. It is difficult to gauge, for instance, whether this sector is economically viable, especially in the context of large-scale economic, social, political, and ecological change processes. These knowledge deficits create an environment of uncertainty...

    Abstract:
    Small-scale fisheries (SSF) around the world face many challenges. They are a highly dynamic, important sector for coastal communities in developing nations, playing a critical role in poverty alleviation and food security. SSFs generally have few resources to ensure their long-term sustainability. They are often fished and managed locally and...

  • The Crucial Role of Small-scale Fisheries in Conservation

    Creator:
    Charles, Anthony
    Abstract:
    Small-scale fisheries are no exceptions to the requirements of staying within the biological bounds of sustainability, by purposively limiting fish harvests, and of maintaining productivity of oceans and freshwater systems, by protecting ecosystem health and habitat quality. However, while these fisheries, like all others, have the potential to pose conservation...

    Creator:
    Viswanathan, K. Kuperan and Gardiner, P. R.
    Abstract:
    National and intergovernmental regulation of fisheries has not been sufficient to prevent many failures of fisheries management at the global scale. International trade in fisheries is of the order of USD 10 billion annually, mostly from “South” to “North”. Developing countries, particularly in Asia, benefit from this trade, and domestic...

    Abstract:
    Research on the linkages between climate change, coastal communities and gender is scarce. In this presentation we address this from a marine resource management perspective based on ecosystem goods and services, gendered adaptive capacity and its links to transformative agency. The hypothesis is that there are gender differences in resource...

  • The Economic Viability of Small- vs. Large-Scale Fisheries: An Example from Mexico

    Creator:
    Schuhbauer, Anna, Cisneros-Montemayor, Andrés, and Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    Achieving economic viability is an important goal when it comes to developing policies for sustainable fisheries management, especially for small-scale fisheries (SSF). SSF are vital for many coastal communities, however, often economically and politically marginalized. Here, we develop and estimate what we denote as ‘basic economic viability’ of SSF, using...
