This report aims to showcase different initiatives that address the aforementioned challenges facing the fishery sector. These initiatives typically involve direct-selling mechanisms or at least reduced reliance on middlemen, both of which benefit fishing communities. Many have also diversified their income streams to enhance resilience. While these examples are intended to inspire “out of the box” thinking, it is important to remember that each initiative has been tailored to its unique context, and what works in one community may not necessarily succeed in another. Small-scale low-impact fishing plays a vital role in supporting livelihoods and local economies. These fishing practices provide employment opportunities that contribute to economic stability and support local food systems by supplying fresh seafood to local markets. Moreover, small-scale low-impact fisheries are often more sustainable, helping to preserve marine ecosystems and maintain biodiversity. They are therefore not only essential for supporting the livelihoods of local communities but also for fostering local economic development and maintaining ecological balance.
