Abstract

More than 775 million people have high dependence on marine ecosystems for nutritional, economic and coastal protection benefits, including via small-scale fisheries. Small-scale fisheries, of which around two thirds are marine, produce almost half the fish consumed in low- and middle-income countries and directly employ 60 million people, with a further 53 million fishing for subsistence purposes. With appropriate governance, coastal fisheries contribute to and can improve the well-being, food and nutrition security, and livelihoods of millions of people. However, the resilience of coastal fisheries and well-being of coastal communities is undermined by distal (e.g. climate change, geopolitics) and proximate (e.g. unsustainable fishing, land use changes) drivers. Research that develops technical, social and institutional innovations within specific contexts can help build adaptive capacity and enhance sustainability when also accompanied by improved regional, national and local governance.
