Recenzje

"Asia-Pacific Fishing Livelihoods shows what could be addressed in fisheries management, why it is important to address ... . It is an easily accessible and concise synopsis to be considered by academics and practitioners alike as they continue to inform and shape policies that dramatically impact the health and well-being of millions involved in fisheries livelihoods and, more broadly, to the billions of socially and ecologically marginalized who rely on access and utilization of government-managed resources." (David Fazzino, Maritime Studies, Vol. 21 (2), June, 2022)

“Where fishing livelihoods come from and where they are going are simple questions with no simple answers. Using examples of small-scale fisheries in Asia-Pacific, Fabinyi and Barclay offer eloquent analyses of how fishing livelihoods are shaped, resting on a relational approach idea. The book is a must-read for policy makers and practitioners looking for rare insights in the social sciences of fisheries, to broaden their governance solutions”.

–Ratana Chuenpagdee, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada

“In this book, Fabinyi and Barclay draw on their extensive research to take us across Asia and the Pacific to show the ways in which fishing livelihoods are entangled with coasts, lakes, rivers, agricultural and urban spaces. Their account challenges us to think beyond the now – to past and future regimes and social-ecological configurations. They provoke us to engage with the power-laden processes and structures that enable and constrain change to fishing livelihoods as we know them now”.

–Philippa Cohen, Resilient Small-Scale Fisheries Program Leader, WorldFish

“It is not just about the fish! Armed with pragmatism and case studies, Fabinyi and Barclay help us see fishing livelihoods through diverse and dynamic social, economic and political lenses”.

–Sangeeta Mangubhai, Director, Fiji Country Program, Wildlife Conservation Society

This open access book explores fishing livelihoods within their wider contexts. Drawing on case studies from across the Asia-Pacific region, the book highlights how fishing livelihoods are shaped by globalisation, social relationships and governance. The book concludes by showing how better understanding these relationships can contribute to governance for healthier ecosystems and social wellbeing.
