Fishing communities are often recognised as being amongst the poorest in developing countries, and interventions targeted at improving resource status seen central fight against poverty. A series of field assessments focusing on vulnerability conducted two Mali Nigeria revealed some counterintuitive results. Despite fishing primary livelihood, vulnerabilities relating directly to state were ranked lower than those basic human needs. Those results challenge conventional view suggest that...
Centralized regulation and fisheries co-management institutions, when imposed on Malawian fisherfolk, have failed due to poor local legitimacy, resulting in de facto open access regimes for most fisheries. Case studies from a range of locations indicate that key success or failure lies understanding the roles played by both traditional (chiefs) representational (stakeholder) institutions. Formally instituted, conservation-driven institutions are unlikely be effective if they try replace...
The climate analogue approach is often considered a valuable tool for change impact projection and adaptation planning, especially complex systems that cannot be modelled reliably. Important examples are smallholder farming using agroforestry or other mixed-cropping approaches. For the projected at particular site of interest, identifies locations where current similar to these conditions. By comparing baseline-analogue pairs, information on impacts opportunities can obtained. However, only...
