Anthropogenic global warming has significantly influenced physical and biological processes at regional scales. The observed anticipated changes in climate present significant opportunities challenges for societies economies. We compare the vulnerability of 132 national economies to potential change impacts on their capture fisheries using an indicator-based approach. Countries Central Western Africa (e.g. Malawi, Guinea, Senegal, Uganda), Peru Colombia north-western South America, four...
The dominant view in academic and policy arenas is increasingly one which the major contribution of capture fisheries to development should be derived from capacity society maximise economic rent fishery resources. Drawing upon empirical experience South, this article highlights potentially disastrous consequences that a universal implementation rent‐maximisation model would have developing countries, argues more gradual approach preferable. welfare function small‐scale fisheries, namely,...
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda makes achieving food security and ending malnutrition a global priority. Within this framework, the importance of fisheries in local systems its contribution to nutrition health, particularly for poor are overlooked undervalued. This paper reviews current fish production consumption from capture aquaculture, highlights opportunities enhancing healthy diets outlines key multi-sectoral policy solutions. Mirroring call diversification agricultural...
Abstract Small‐scale fisheries (SSF) make important but undervalued contributions to the economies of some world’s poorest countries. They also provide much animal protein needed by societies in which food security remains a pressing issue. Assessment and management these is usually inadequate or absent they continue fall short their potential as engines for development social change. In this study, we bring together existing theory methods suggest general scheme diagnosing managing SSF....

The vast development opportunities offered by the world's coasts and oceans have attracted attention of governments, private enterprises, philanthropic organizations international conservation organizations. High-profile dialogue policy decisions on ocean futures are informed largely economic ecological research. Key insights from social sciences raise concerns for food nutrition security, livelihoods justice but these yet to gain traction with investors discourse transforming governance....
Abstract Despite longstanding recognition that small‐scale fisheries make multiple contributions to economies, societies and cultures, assessing these incorporating them into policy decision‐making has suffered from a lack of comprehensive integrating ‘lens’. This paper focuses on the concept ‘wellbeing’ as means accomplish this integration, thereby unravelling better complex social economic issues within context governance. We emphasize relevance three key components wellbeing – material,...
Abstract In the last twenty years, policy prescriptions for addressing global crisis in fisheries have centred on strengthening governance through clarifying exclusive individual or community rights of access to fishery resources. With a focus small‐scale developing‐country particular, we argue that basing case reform assumed economic incentives resource stewardship is insufficient when there are other sources insecurity people’s lives unrelated state We more secure, less vulnerable fishers...
Abstract We evaluate the current status of global marine fisheries using frameworks conflict, food security and vulnerability. Existing trends suggest that there is likely to be greater insecurity conflicts due issues such as: declining fishery resources; a N orth– S outh divide in investment; changing consumption patterns; increasing reliance on resources for coastal communities; inescapable poverty traps creating by low net resource productivity few alternatives. Consequently, managing...
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns are creating health economic crises that threaten food nutrition security. seafood sector provides important sources of employment, especially in low-income countries, is highly globalized allowing shocks to propagate. We studied COVID-19-related disruptions, impacts, responses the from January through May 2020, using a system resilience 'action cycle' framework as guide. find some supply chains, market segments, companies, small-scale actors...
