Abstract

In June 2014, FAO members-states endorsed the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries(SSF Guidelines). Thee Guidelines are one of the most significant landmarks for small scale fisheries around the world. They are comprehensive in terms of topics covered an progressive with their foundations based on human rights and other key principles. It can be anticipated that implementing the SSF Guidelines, whether at local, national or regional levels will be challenging. This book contains in depth case studies where authors discuss the extent to which the guidelines can help improve the realities of small-scale fishing men and women globally and make their livelihoods and communities more secure. this will require policy intervention and innovation along with contributions of civil society organizations and academia. However, most of all it will necessitate the empowerment of fishing people so that they can become active participants in decision making on matters where their well-being and human rights are at stake. By endorsing the SSF guidelines, states have committed themselves to support and facilitate this development. this book asks whether states can successfully : walk the talk", and provides advices as to how they can do so.
