New Evidence

Aquaculture is instrumental for increasing global fish production, but its ecological effects can create new pressures on the fishing grounds that small-scale fisheries (SSFs) depend on. As a result, achievement of SDGs 1 (end poverty) and 2 (end hunger) in societies of the Global South is compromised, and that of SDG14 (sustainable marine resources) is complicated. Using new evidence from Lake Victoria, which harbors Africa’s largest inland SSFs and a fast-growing aquaculture industry, this chapter examines how science, technology, and innovation (STI) can support ecologically and socially sustainable governance of fisheries resources. The author argues that a sustainable expansion of aquaculture needs to protect the natural resources that small fishers depend on while maximizing their ability to benefit from fish-farming. STI-based solutions, if integrated in a transformation governance approach, can secure and expand contributions from capture fisheries and aquaculture to help achieve SDGs 1, 2, and 14. The concept of transformation governance is based on a threefold structure: to increase eco-efficiency, redistribute access to natural resources, and recognize eco-sufficiency as a guiding principle. By applying this threefold resource-governance approach, the potential for STI-based solutions to provide greater overall eco-efficiency is utilized, restrictions on total resource use prevent rebound effects, and the principle of redistribution promotes a focus on appropriate technologies for small-scale resource users.

Kabupaten Indramayu memiliki jumlah rumah tangga menengah kebawah paling banyak diProvinsi Jawa Barat. Artinya, tingkat kesejahteraan yang dimiliki masih rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuanuntuk mengkaji tingkat kesejahteraan nelayan skala kecil (≤ 5 GT) di Kabupaten Indramayu. Datayang digunakan adalah data primer dan data sekunder yang dikumpulkan dengan menggunakanteknik wawancara, observasi dan pencatatan. Analisis data menggunakan pendekatan penghidupanberkelanjutan menggunakan indikator sumber daya keuangan, sosial, manusia dan alam. Tingkatkesejahteraan nelayan dapat dihitung dengan pendekatan penghidupan berkelanjutan yang berfungsiuntuk mengetahui kesejahteraan secara relatif. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa indeks penghidupannelayan berada pada kategori sedang (54,93%); capaian indikator modal keuangan (83,51%) dengankategori sangat baik; indikator modal alam (60,00%) dengan kategori sedang; indikator modal sosial(13,20%) dengan kategori buruk; dan indikator modal sumber daya manusia (56,65 %) dengan kategorisedang. Oleh karena itu, strategi yang direkomendasikan dalam mewujudkan penghidupan berkelanjutandi Kabupaten Indramayu adalah melalui peningkatan indikator modal sosial seperti peningkatanakses masyarakat terhadap kelembagaan ekonomi, mengoptimalkan kelembagaan masyarakat yangada khususnya dalam setiap program pemerintah, mengintegrasikan kelembagaan informal dengankelembagaan formal, dan mengaktifkan kembali koperasi yang telah ada atau mendirikan koperasiperikanan baru.Title: Welfare Level of Small Scale Fishers Based on Sustainable Livelihood Approach in Indramayu DistrictIndramayu District has a majority of fisher’s household with less prosperity in the West Javaprovince.

Women play important, but often invisible, roles in Lake Malawi’s small-scale fisheries sector. This paper augments previous research by exploring the productive and reproductive roles that men and women have in fishing communities and how this shapes women’s access and control over fisheries resources. Contributing to advancing the understanding of how to strengthen women’s roles in the fisheries sector, this paper reports on a qualitative assessment conducted in seven Malawian lakeshore districts. Data collected via focus group discussions, which included gendered resource mapping exercises, revealed belief systems and gender norms that shape men’s and women’s access to and control over lacustrine resources. While both men and women have access to lake and land resources, their roles differ. Men dominate fishing resources whereas women dominate resources that are tied to household management. While all value chain nodes are open to men, women tend to be concentrated in lower-value processing and trading activities. Social norms and values shape people’s access and control over communal resources. It is noteworthy that women who earn an income from the fisheries value chain have more access to savings and credit and have more equal household bargaining power.
