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:

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 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.

AbstractThis paper contributes to the literature on marine conservation and its implication for coastal governance and sustainability. The study investigates factors influencing fisherfolk compliance with the temporal fishing bans in Ghana. The purpose is to understand the factors influencing compliance behaviour to help design an improved conservation strategy to achieve management objectives. A mixed-method approach was employed, consisting of 200 household surveys and 17 in-depth interviews with stakeholders at the local, district, regional, and national levels. The results reveal that a co

Abstract:

Much of the southern part of Negros is still uninhabited. However, it is an abundant location for fish production, which is the principal source of income among many fishermen in the Municipality of Binalbagan. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the socio-economic traits and challenges of 87 small-scale fishermen in Barangay Enclaro and Barangay Canmoros with a minimum of two years of fishing experience and at least one fishing boat. Using total enumeration, the study's results indicated that the number of fishing boats, type of gear utilized, and type of fish gathered all impacted t

Abstract:

AbstractIn the Global South, small-scale fisheries may be highly influenced by taboos and traditional beliefs that are believed to maintain fishing pressure within sustainable limits, maintain ecosystem balance and mitigate risks associated with work at sea. However, despite their potentially significant role in mediating human-resource interactions, limited attention has been given to taboos in the context of small-scale fisheries. Among the socio-cultural taboos shaping participation in and benefits from fisheries activities, gender-specific taboos are particularly significant. Thus, this pa

Abstract:

In the last few decades, there has been growing scholarly interest about the implications of women’s increased economic role on household decision-making dynamics. Contributing to these conversations, the current paper examines couples (wives and husbands) perceptions and attitudes towards women’s decision-making power in the context of Ghana’s small-scale fishery where both couples engage in the same economic activity, performing different, but complementary roles. The study involved interviews with 20 and 18 married female and male fisherfolk respectively, which was part of a larger study by

Abstract:

Market patterns and conditions can affect the economic value of fishery commodities; hence, they can contribute to postharvest losses. This paper primarily aims to provide information on the magnitude of losses incurred from changes in market supply and demand of economically important fishery commodities. Assessed capture commodities in selected landing sites and wet markets recorded an estimated loss of 3.98% and 0.44%, respectively. The total financial loss incurred in both supply chains amounted to PHP 480,160. Estimation of losses per commodity showed that landed sardines obtained the hig

The year 2021 marks a new systematic change in how the world's oceans and marine resources are managed through the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Changes are being made to understand and address the lack of equal representation among stakeholders which has stifled everything from ocean research to the marginalization of the members who operate small-scale fisheries. In addition, the next generation of stakeholders including: student researchers, local environmental advocates, and up-and-coming fisherfolk need to be engaged early on in the process. Part of t

Abstract Women experience the brunt of inequality in fishery tasks and decision-making despite their crucial contributions to the industry. This paper examines the micro-processes of gendered fishery decisions and practices based on interviews with 20 female and 18 male fisherfolk in coastal Ghana. The paper draws on a new materialist framing inspired by Deleuzian assemblage theory, which delineates the different tangible and intangible factors that work together (i.e., the assemblage) to shape attitudes, behaviours, and practices among a group of people. Dwelling on this theory, this paper hi

Abstract:

Adaptation to climate impacts will be necessary for small-scale fisheries and fishers (SSFs) to safeguard their food security, livelihoods, and cultural heritage. SSFs are often vulnerable to environmental impacts due to the place-based, multi-scale and direct dependencies on local ecosystems, and generally fewer resources or abilities for relocation, diversification, and modification of their fishing practices. Strategic adaptation is therefore essential. This study emphasizes the timelines, requirements, and burdens of implementing existing and proposed adaptations, e.g., who pays, who does

The supply and value chain of the world’s only freshwater sardine, Sardinella tawilis endemic to Taal Lake, were studied from January to December 2016. This study aimed to identify the actors in the value chain, evaluate each actor’s value addition, identify the roles of men and women in the chain, and identify the issues, concerns, and entry points for intervention. Key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and tracer survey interviews were done to gather data. A semi-structured questionnaire was directed to 189 respondents within and outside Taal Lake.
