Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The human, social and cultural dimensions of the fisheries sector have been historically overlooked by governments and stakeholders around the world. Only in the last decades has concern for fisheries sustainability broadened to encompass the recognition, protection and promotion of human rights of fishers, fishworkers, and their communities, while on land or at sea. This is a critical advance especially for the fisheries subsector known as small-scale or artisanal fisheries. Small-scale fishers represent more than 90% of the fisheries workforce in developing countries, but face persisting challenges of marginalization, vulnerability, poor living and working conditions. Small-scale fisheries operate in inland and marine waters, contributing to nutritious food, income, jobs, and the identity of millions of coastal and rural communities around the globe.
