Since October 2001 we have been working on a threeyear study of factors influencing the sustainability of livelihoods in a rural coastal setting in Sri Lanka. Our focus is on natural resource uses related to fisheries and our initial data collection is now complete. Poverty is a major issue affecting coastal communities in Sri Lanka, and we believe that the concept of sustainable livelihoods can help us understanding its nature and identifying ways to alleviate it. In any given context, the sustainability of human livelihoods has ecological, economic and social dimensions. For the coastal communities in our study we opted to focus on the social and economic aspects of household life using three main directions of enquiry: a “livelihood approach”, a “food security approach” and a “personal security” approach.
