Vulnerability and adaptation of African rural populations to hydro-climate change: experience from fishing communities in the Inner Niger Delta (Mali)
Type: Journal Article
In this paper we examine ways Sahelian floodplain fishers have adapted to the strong environmental variations that have affected the region in the last two decades. We analyse their vulnerability and adaptive capacity in ...
Optimising the use of nearshore fish aggregating devices for food security in the Pacific Islands

Community-based fisheries management (CBFM) is held up as one of the most promising approaches for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries. Yet, the complex features that shape CBFM outcomes remain inadequately understood. ...
An ecosystem approach to small-scale fisheries through participatory diagnosis in four tropical countries
Type: Journal Article
Participatory diagnosis is an approach to identify, prioritize and mobilise around factors that constrain or enable effective governance and management in small-scale fisheries. Diagnostic frameworks are mostly designed ...
Food security and the coral Triangle Initiative
Type: Journal Article
The Asia-Pacific's Coral Triangle is defined by its extremely high marine biodiversity. Over one hundred million people living in its coastal zones use this biodiversity to support their livelihoods. Hundreds of millions ...
Approaches and frameworks for management and research in small-scale fisheries
Type: Book Chapter
The search for innovations and implementation of research frameworks for small-scale fisheries in developing and least developed countries are discussed.
