The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Poverty, sustainability and human wellbeing: A social wellbeing approach to the global fisheries crisis (2011, background): “As has been well documented by research on job satisfaction—fishers often have a strong attachment to their occupation, which is driven by more than material benefits (Pollnac et al., 2001; Pollnac and Poggie, 2008).”
Assessing the Relationship Between Human Well-being and Ecosystem Services: A Review of Frameworks (2014, background): “Pollnac and Poggie (2008) argue that the act of fishing is not merely an allocation of labour, but is a crucial component of individual and collective identities: not a livelihood, but a lifestyle.”
Theories and behavioural drivers underlying fleet dynamics models (2012, background): “Previous reviews of fisher behaviour (Pollnac and Poggie 2008) have tended to question the validity of the profit maximization assumption that underlies most of the models of fisher behaviour identified above.”
