A rapid assessment of co-benefits and trade-offs among Sustainable Development Goals (2017, background): “Fishing is an established activity in many coastal settings, and is intricately tied to many different peoples’ cultures, livelihoods, and local environments [4,10,19].”
Putting the principles of the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach into fisheries development policy and practice (2006, background): “The multi-dimensional nature of poverty and the relationship between poverty, vulnerability and social exclusion in fishing communities is increasingly acknowledged [11].”
Key issues in coastal fisheries in South and Southeast Asia, outcomes of a regional initiative (2006, background): “The open access nature and low entrance cost of many fisheries means that they can provide a safety net against failures from income in other sectors, they can also provide a “livelihood of last resort” to the landless poor (Bene, 2003).”
Rural livelihoods and poverty reduction policies. (2005, unknown): “This narrative has been difficult to challenge, particularly in the face of undeniable resource declines, because there has been little information on the relationship between fisheries and poverty (Béné 2003).”
Not by Rent Alone: Analysing the Pro-Poor Functions of Small-Scale Fisheries in Developing Countries (2010, unknown): “Influenced by, and building upon, these various elements, analyses were put forward in the fisheries literature (Béné, 2003; FAO-SFLP, 2006a; Allison et al., 2006) which reflected this broader perspective.”
Addressing fisheries bycatch in a changing world (2015, background): “Additionally, population effects and thresholds determined from these methods can be used to inform larger-scale ecosystem-based management approaches.”
Poverty, sustainability and human wellbeing: A social wellbeing approach to the global fisheries crisis (2011, background): “Béné (2003) has pointed out that there has been a longstanding presumption that equates fishing with poverty.”
Increasing the contribution of small-scale fisheries to poverty alleviation and food security (2007, background): “Much contemporary discussion of poverty in the fisheries sector revolves around rights of access by the poor to fishery resources in the context of changing property rights regimes in fisheries (Kurien, 2003; Béné, 2003).”
Climate change and capture fisheries: potential impacts, adaptation and mitigation (2009, background): “…endogenously because of the inevitable overexploitation and poor returns from open-access resources (people are poor because they are fishers); or exogenously because the influx of the poorest of the poor into fisheries as a last resort (they are fishers because they are poor) (Bene, 2003).”
Are Fishers Poor or Vulnerable? Assessing Economic Vulnerability in Small-Scale Fishing Communities (2009, background): “This particular view has, however, been recently disputed by several authors (for example Béné, 2003; Allison and Horemans, 2006; Allison et al., 2006).”
A simple length-structured model based on life history ratios and incorporating size-dependent selectivity: application to spawning potential ratios for data-poor stocks (2016, background): “Furthermore, the inhabitants of these 32 nations are often disproportionally reliant on fish as vital sources of protein, and fisheries 33 play an important role providing livelihoods for millions of people (Kent 1997, Béné 2003, 34 Walmsley et al. 2006).”
Feeding the poor: Contribution of West African fisheries to employment and food security (2015, background): “In many instances the latter, and thus food security, can be related to declining fisheries caused in part by over-exploitation (B en e, 2003, 2004; Srinivasan et al., 2010).”
Fishing for justice: Human rights, development, and fisheries sector reform (2014, background): “…ﬁshing rights and incentives have tended to underplay the complex relationships that exist between poverty, resource access and the wider economic and political context, especially when applied to small-scale ﬁsheries in developing countries (Be´ne´, 2003; Jentoft, 2006; Allison et al., 2012).”
Resource degradation, marginalization, and poverty in small-scale fisheries: threats to social-ecological resilience in India and Brazil (2014, methodology): “…show how doing this requires the addition of environmental change, social-ecological marginalization, loss of identity, and human–environment disconnection as additional components in the typology of factors (Béné 2003) leading to poverty and impoverishment processes in small-scale fishery systems.”
