Abstract

In the part of the world where I come from, which is the high North, there is an increasing concern for the fate of small-scale fisheries. Will they survive under the pressures of globalization, industrialization, climate change and so forth? Are their local communities doomed? A problem, as I see it, is this: Since small-scale fisheries and communities in the Western world and in the North are part of countries that are economically well-off and with governing systems that work relatively well, the assumption is often that there is no real reason to worry about them.
