Poverty and Small-Scale Fisheries in West Africa

(Copublished with Kluwer Academic Publishers, The Netherlands) This book offers a new, multi-disciplinary perspective on the problem of poverty in small-scale fisheries, introducing innovative concepts and ideas and drawing upon recent knowledge generated by in-depth empirical case studies. It makes explicit connections with the Sustainable Livelihood Approach and the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries - two prominent frameworks which are recognized, applied and promoted internationally by scholars, practitioners and donor agencies in their work on fisheries development. The book also represents a key source of up-to-date information and reference material for anybody interested or working in the fields of poverty and fisheries management in developing countries.
