Beschreibung
Since the landmark endorsement of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) in 2014 by the Committee on Fisheries of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), governments and a wide-range of stakeholders, including the Too Big To Ignore (TBTI) Global Partnership for Small-Scale Fisheries, have been working towards an effective and adequate implementation of the Guidelines. Now a decade later, it is time to take stock of how the SSF Guidelines have been integrated into fisheries governance at the national level around the world. This book is a contribution to that endeavour, identifying good practices, challenges, opportunities, and remaining gaps in national legal and policy frameworks vis-à-vis the SSF Guidelines. The case studies provide important lessons about ways to overcome obstacles and to secure successful implementation of the SSF Guidelines.
“This collection of case studies provides in-depth illustrations of how the SSF Guidelines interplay with the governance of fisheries at international, national, and local levels. This 10-year stock-taking of the difference the Guidelines have played in different contexts and countries provides a springboard for others to follow suit in ensuring the viability of small-scale fisheries in their countries. I do hope that this book lands in the hands of these very decision-makers to inform their efforts to implement the Guidelines in diverse contexts.”
Alicia Bugeja, Parliamentary Secretary for Fisheries, Aquaculture and Animal Rights within the Agriculture Ministry
“Ten years later, the implementation of the Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines is illustrated by stories of success and inspiration, but also accounts of challenges and opportunities. This volume tells us how, and to what extent, legal frameworks facilitate - in both supportive and unsupportive ways - the achievement of overarching objectives such as human rights and decent work in small-scale fisheries. It has great potential to enable fruitful reflections and discussion about what is needed to improve the governability of small-scale fisheries and how to achieve justice and decent livelihoods through national and regional legal instruments.”

This book provides a transdisciplinary assessment of multiple countries’ legal and policy frameworks vis-à-vis the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication, adopted in 2014 by the Committee on Fisheries of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Based on an appraisal framework used to facilitate the unpacking of those frameworks, this book collects country experiences and regional perspectives on a range of cross-cutting issues underpinning the protection of the rights and the promotion of justice for small-scale fishers and their communities.
This book aims to be the first collection to present a systematic and in-depth assessment of existing national legal and policy frameworks vis-à-vis the SSF Guidelines. This assessment is done through the transdisciplinary and collaborative work of researchers, governments, and civil society organizations for the analysis of the cross-thematic questions, which the contributors of this book aim to address. Firstly, what are the relevant laws and policies that matter for securing rights of small-scale fishers and their communities? How are small-scale fisheries defined by national laws and policies? How are small-scale fisheries treated (i.e., specifically or generally) in these instruments? Are there specific provisions and references to small-scale fisheries or any of its associated terminologies (e.g., artisanal, subsistence, traditional, indigenous)? Secondly, how the relevant instruments address the 8 small-scale fisheries key issues outlined in that rapid appraisal study? What are the strengths and gaps in these instruments? Do they address issues that are not covered by the SSF Guidelines? Do they contribute to clarifying other legal issues that are relevant for sustainable small-scale fisheries? Finally, since the book also aims to explore the accessibility of these legal and policy instruments for those to which they matter the most (the small-scale fishers), the following questions were also considered: What challenges do they face in knowing and understanding the relevant laws and policies in place? Which tools, measures and processes are available in the countries to ensure small-scale fishers can claim for their rights? To what extent judicial courts have recognized and/or granted rights to small-scale fishers?
