Small-scale fisheries (SSF) are important social-ecological systems across all parts of the world. Strongly anchored in local communities, SSFs reflect a way of life, and they provide critical contributions. Yet, their efforts and their existence are often overlooked as many SSF communities remain economically and politically marginalized, are highly vulnerable to change, and remain invisible in policy debates. Nonetheless, the continuity of many SSFs suggests certain strengths and forms of resilience. A holistic understanding of what causes vulnerability, as well as what makes fisheries social-ecological systems viable and through what processes is required. This understanding needs to be place based and situated within the SSF context, and the processes surrounding it must be long-term, collaborative and iterative. The Chilika - V2V Field School aims to provide a creative platform for graduate students and early career scholars and practitioners to deliberate and learn about concepts, approaches and methods helpful to achieving transitions from vulnerability to viability within SSF social-ecological systems. The Field School takes place every year in the Chilika Lagoon, Bay of Bengal, India, where participants gain firsthand experience and creatively engage in furthering their understanding and knowledge of vulnerability to viability transitions, and experiment with concepts and approaches that are novel, transdisciplinary and problem oriented. The Reflections from Chilika - V2V Field School is part of the V2V Working Paper Series that exclusively focuses on documenting the main learnings, insights, reflections gained by the Chilika - V2V Field School participants during their weeklong journey with the fisher communities of Chilika Lagoon.
