Climate Change Impacts on Rural Poverty in Low-Elevation Coastal Zones (2015, background): “…are some of the poorest in coastal areas, and for many other poor coastal households, fishing provides an important source of food and occasional income (Béné et al. 2010; Campbell et al. 2006; Mills et al. 2011; Kronen et al. 2012; Nayak et al. 2014; Solaymani and Kari 2014; World Bank 2008).”
Sustaining healthy diets: The role of capture fisheries and aquaculture for improving nutrition in the post-2015 era (2016, background): “Capture fisheries institutions concentrate ownership and use of fishing assets to maximize economic output which may bring benefits to resource conservation and trade, but decreases the quantity of fish available on local markets (Béné et al., 2010).”
Fisheries in transition: Food and nutrition security implications for the global South (2014, background): “Small-scale fisheries can act as a ‘safety net’ because of their capacity to provide labor opportunities and incomes to resource-poor households with few other options, reducing, vulnerability and food insecurity associated with both transitory and structural poverty (Béné et al., 2010).”
The role of diversification in dynamic small-scale fisheries: Lessons from Baja California Sur, Mexico (2015, background): “Given the complexity of these fisheries as just described, historical governance efforts often have not been enough to curb the ecosystem effects of overfishing or to alleviate poverty for the communities that depend on them (Béné et al., 2010).”
Feeding 9 billion by 2050 – Putting fish back on the menu (2015, background): “In this respect aquaculture and fisheries (especially through the number of small-scale operators engaged in fishing, aquaculture, processing, and trading businesses – see e.g., Béné et al. 2010) play a critical role in low income and emergent countries.”
Securing blue wealth: The need for a special sustainable development goal for the ocean and coasts (2014, background): “By this link, the ocean provides a significant source of income, food, and nutrition at the local level and therefore an important source of poverty alleviation and livelihood opportunities [11], [8].”
Food security and the Coral Triangle Initiative (2013, background): “By contrast a welfare focused ecosystem approach would instead promote inclusivity and flexibility to enable fisheries stakeholders to move into and out of the fishery in response to variability in environmental and socio-economic conditions [58].”
Fishing for justice: Human rights, development, and fisheries sector reform (2014, background): “State-community partnerships are unlikely to ﬂourish when states are failing their citizens in their role as duty-bearers, or actively discriminating against particular groups (Allison et al., 2011a, 2012; Be´ne´ et al., 2010).”
Driving small-scale fisheries in developing countries (2015, background): “We realize the dilemma here that fisheries are important for the welfare, livelihoods and economic security of the poor (Béné et al., 2010) yet the glaring solution is to restrict effort.”
Poverty, sustainability and human wellbeing: A social wellbeing approach to the global fisheries crisis (2011, background): “fisheries management until the 1990s and their continued dominance (McClanahan and Castilla, 2007; Béné et al., 2010)”
A Revolution Without People? Closing the People-Policy Gap in Aquaculture Development (2015, background): “For instance, timing and sequencing are critical factors in the transition to alternative livelihoods, and for the rest of the economy which is linked to the sector through income and employment multipliers (Béné et al., 2010).”
Developing sustainable small-scale fisheries livelihoods in Indonesia: Trends, enabling and constraining factors, and future opportunities (2021, background): “Programs should be integrated into holistic cross-sectoral activities that incorporate initiatives to improve health, education, and general well-being [72].”
Strengthening conceptual foundations: Analysing frameworks for ecosystem services and poverty alleviation research (2013, background): “The literature is better furnished with examples in which ecosystem services are associated with poverty prevention than reduction (Angelsen and Wunder, 2003; Béné et al., 2010; Fisher, 2004; Mayers, 2007).”
