Transition pathways from vulnerability to viability of small‐scale fisheries in Africa and Asia
This perspective paper examines transition pathways that move small‐scale fisheries from vulnerability towards viability. We understand ‘vulnerability to viability transition pathways’ as integrative and one that extends beyond economic concerns to include social, political, cultural and ecological aspects of small‐scale fisheries. Our findings draw on a reflexive and qualitative assessment of country‐specific case studies from across Africa and …
Patterns of marine resource conflicts across Africa highlight need for fair access and benefit sharing for a blue economy
From vulnerability to viability: A situational analysis of small-scale fisheries in Asia and Africa
Small-scale fisheries (SSF) support over 90% of the 120 million people engaged in capture fisheries globally. Despite their contributions, SSF communities are often economically and politically marginalised, are highly vulnerable to change, and until recently, remained largely invisible in policy debates in most countries and internationally. This paper undertakes a situational analysis of 12 countries with significant small-scale fisheries (i.e.…
Migratory fishing in Malawi and its challenges for beach-based rights co-management
Migratory fishing is widely practiced in water bodies of Malawi. Fishers follow geographic changes in the availability of good catches or move away from areas or water bodies where stocks have been depleted to unprofitable levels. They also move due to seasonal ecological changes that make it impossible to operate certain gears or due to seasonal decline of catches to unprofitable levels. There are also instances whereby groups of fishers migrate…

Transforming ownership and governance - Lessons from capital intensive pelagic fisheries in South Africa and Zimbabwe
This article is on the political economy of transformation and governance reform in industrial fisheries in Southern African states undergoing political and socio-economic transformation. Specifically, it focuses on the experiences of transformation and reform of governance in the pelagic fisheries of South Africa and Zimbabwe. A democratic South Africa and independent Zimbabwe each inherited a dual socio-economic system characterised by racially…
