Historically, men, women, and children have harvested a wide range of marine resources for their basic sustenance and livelihood all along the South African Coastline. Today, while no official data exists, it is estimated that there are more than 80,000 people depending on small-scale fisheries who are playing a vital role in ensuring and guaranteeing the food sovereignty of their families and communities, particularly those living in rural areas. The realisation of an array of small-scale fishers and their families’ human rights, such as the right to food and nutrition, the right to health, the right to work, and the right to a healthy environment, all depends on small-scale fishers’ tenure rights, equitable access and control over their natural resources- in particular, marine and ocean resources, but also adjacent land. Notwithstanding, many small-scale fishers across the country are witnessing deprivation, regression, and even outright violations of their right to food and nutrition and related human rights, contrary to the spirit of the SSF Guidelines (SSF Guidelines 1.1).
