In the matrix, objective, subjective, and relational values are identified for the major stakeholder categories such as fishers, a coastal community and the wider society. Through consideration of these values, multifaceted contributions of the swimming crab fishery were examined and their governance implications drawn. Around the world, small-scale fisheries have been unduly dismissed in policy despite their ubiquity.application/pdfHow to capture small-scale fisheries’ many contributions to society? – Introducing the ‘Value-Contribution Matrix’ and applying it to the case of a swimming crab fishery in South KoreaBook Chapterhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-60750-4_6
