Abstract
  • The role of small-scale fisheries in developing countries has been widely discussed in the fisheries and‚ “commons”‚ literature. However, in the conservationist debate, even small-scale fishing has often been seen as a potential evil that indeed threatens ecosystem health and should be broadly and rapidly eliminated. Besides the global commitments to increase the protection of world‚ marine and coastal regions, several international fora have focused on the issue of how to conciliate fisheries with conservation, with both human and ecological dimensions taken into account in more contemporary governance systems (i.e. ecosystem approach to fisheries, or even fisher‚ self-governance). This paper draws attention to some examples from Brazil in order to consider alternatives towards community-based processes in fisheries governance and in the political economy of marine resource use. Promising pathways of potentially participative initiatives for small-scale fisheries illustrate the opportunities and challenges of current options where power imbalance between players often undermines socially inclusive marine conservation.
