Abstract:

Fishing is one of the major livelihoods of people living in the Philippines due to its abundance of aquatic resources. While numerous studies had been conducted to identify the major challenges of small-scale fisherfolks, none had paid particular attention to their difficulties in obtaining technical resources from the government and non-governmental entities and investigated only the extent of effectiveness of different support programs for small-scale fisherfolks. This phenomenological study explored the complexities and unique experiences of acquiring necessary resources for the fisherfolks

Abstract:

The concept of livelihood resilience provides a unique framework for understanding challenges in complex social–ecological systems (SESs) and fostering sustainability. Despite the crises many small-scale fisheries (SSFs) are facing, few studies have operationalized the concept in the context of declining SSFs in developing countries. This study aims to assess the resilience of artisanal fisherfolk livelihoods and its predicting factors in three fishing communities—Elmina, Jamestown, and Axim—in Ghana. A total of 1180 semi-structured interviews were conducted with fishers, fish processors, and

<strong>Abstract:</strong>   Small-scale fishing plays a vital role in the culture, identity, and social life of rural coastal communities. Despite its significance, there is limited understanding of how fishing impacts the subjective well-being of fisherfolks. This study aimed to assess the well-being of fisherfolks in selected rural coastal areas for the Calendar Year 2025. A descriptive method was used, employing a validated self-made questionnaire distributed to 56 respondents. Results showed most respondents were older females with relatively high family income and varied fishing exp

Abstract:

This study assessed the multidimensional poverty status of small-scale fisherfolk in Cross River State, Nigeria. Using the Multidimensional Poverty Assessment Tool (MPAT) and data from 175 households. The methodology employed a multi-stage sampling technique, and data were collected through structured and semi-structured questionnaires. The study revealed a high incidence of multidimensional poverty, with 76% of households experiencing deprivation in at least three essential dimensions. The Alkire-Foster method was used to derive the multidimensional poverty index. The results show that the ag

Abstract:

The lack of a long term, comprehensive and reliable fisheries statistics system is a major impediment to fisheries management in Brazil. Fishing is one of the main activities throughout the country's coast, with predominance of small-scale, artisanal, multigear, and multispecies captures that are landed in a pulverized network of coastal villages. Brazil is also a hotspot of common names, another feature that challenges artisanal fisheries' monitoring. We combined taxonomic and ethnobiological information to support the implementation of an artisanal fisheries' monitoring program under the co-

Abstract:

A challenge of the marine small-scale fisheries (SSF) that requires immediate attention is the uncertainty of how the activity affects and is affected by the changes in ecological and social dynamics. Understanding the fisheries dynamics and strategies allows not only the comprehension of fish yield seasonality but also provides subsidies for the ecosystem approach of fisheries (EAF) on the possible impacts it may cause. This study aimed to describe the fishery dynamics of the hook and line fisheries on the major stocks exploited by SSFs on the central coast of Brazil (Baixo-Sul region, Bahia)

Abstract:

Women have a crucial role in the fishery value chains, from pre-fishing to post-fishing activities; however, the lack of sex-disaggregated local level data aggravates the women’s invisibility and marginalization in the informal fishing industry and community. Generating local knowledge and representation, this study presents women’s role and challenges working in small-scale fisheries in Perez, Quezon, Philippines. Fifty female fisherfolks from the said sector participated in this case study. The results from the field survey indicate that the participants widely dispersed to inland capture fi

Abstract:

This study investigates the effects of fuel price hikes on the livelihoods of small-scale coastal fisherfolk in Ghana. The study applied a mixed-methods approach consisting of a questionnaire survey of 320 fisherfolk and 20 interviews with stakeholders in the fisheries sector. Increase in expenses, reduced frequency of fishing, an upsurge in social vices, and declining small-scale fisheries opportunities were found to be the main effects of fuel price hikes on fisherfolk livelihoods. The results reveal that fisherfolk experienced financial, emotional and psychological shocks due to the high co

Abstract:

Abstract In Costa Rica, as in other countries, vulnerability and marginalization experienced by small-scale artisanal fishermen, fisherwomen, and mollusk collectors are the result of the absence of a human rights‐based approach to marine conservation and development in the coastal areas. Usually non-formality, absence of tenure and access rights, bad health services, and low education compared to other productive sectors are part of what fisherfolks experience. This commentary shares how working in a long-term and integral way with these communities and incorporating a human rights‐based appro

Abstract:

With the onset of the pandemic, small-scale fishermen (SSF) in the country have become even more vulnerable to multiple adverse stressors. It is important to remember that fisher households have minimal assets, and their ability to mitigate the effects of crises and shocks is restricted. This study aims to enhance our understanding of livelihoods by using the idea of resilience as an analytical tool in examining the different aspects of fisherfolks' adaptive systems during the pandemic and the role of the government in bolstering their livelihood resiliency.

Abstract:

Transforming Philippine agriculture and fisheries (AF) into a dynamic, high-growth sector is essential to poverty reduction, food security, and inclusive economic prosperity. However, unsustainable AF practices have impacts on the environment and climate, and at the same time, ecosystem degradation and climate change impact the productivity and sustainability of the AF sector, with disastrous consequences on food security, income, and livelihoods, especially of small-scale farmers and fishers.

Abstract:

The Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA) was passed and implemented a quarter of a century ago. AFMA comprised a suite of policy, institutional, and investment measures that envisaged the transformation of the agriculture and fisheries sectors, from a resource-based to a technology-based industry. One aspect of the modernization process that the AFMA is aiming at and which is the focus of this study is the development of agro-based value chains that move up the value-added ladder ascendancy. This is done by examining AFMA and the agri-food value chain development and ascendancy i
