This book there are thirty-five chapters are written in essay form. They should be easy to read, also for people with little prior knowledge of small-scale fisheries and academic prose. It is important to know that we are talking about millions and millions of people around the world who make a living and a life in small-scale fisheries. More than 90 percent of people employed in the fisheries industry are in the small-scale sector. They have a significant role to play for food security, but they often live in poverty, sometimes even in extreme poverty. All countries with a coast, estuaries or inland waters have small-scale fisheries people, and one will find them in local rural or urban communities. A reader should consult the many publications of FAO and TBTI on small-scale fisheries globally. There is also a considerable academic journal literature on them. One would find that there are considerable differences between small-scale fisheries in the Global North and South, but also many important similarities, one of them their links to a local community. All chapters focus on small-scale fisheries as a socio-economic and cultural activity, as a social scientist would write them. Small-scale fisheries are all those things, and they are intricately connected and played out in a community setting. The aim of the book is to explain how they come together and must be seen as a whole. I discuss what this means for the way small-scale fisheries work and how they must be governed.
