dc.description.abstractCoastal communities within small island developing states are typically highly dependent on fisheries and other natural resource-based livelihoods. However, specialisation as a 'fisher' is rare compared to diverse livelihoods that can be adapted as opportunities and challenges emerge. Understanding this dynamic "livelihood landscape" is important for improving governance and livelihood opportunities associated with natural resources. Using data from 495 households across 15 communities on Atauro Island, Timor-Leste, this study evaluates the importance of fisheries within a suite of livelihoods; the correlation of livelihoods structure with wellbeing; and the spatial and temporal variation of those livelihoods.
