From Theory to Practice: A Human Well-Being Approach to Understanding the Socio-Economics of Small-Scale FisheriesSpeaker: Dr. Anna Schuhbauer
Postdoctoral Fellow, Fisheries Economics Research Unit
Small-scale fisheries (SSF) sustain the livelihoods, cultures, and food security of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. While recognition of the need for comprehensive, rather than reductionist, approaches to understanding SSF is growing, most assessments still focus too narrowly on income, catch, or employment—overlooking the broader social, cultural, and subjective dimensions of human well-being.
In the spirit of “Reimagining the Future of Oceans and Fisheries,” this talk presents a human well-being lens as a more holistic framework for assessing SSF sustainability. Drawing on case studies from Peru and The Bahamas, Dr. Schuhbauer will discuss how such frameworks can be adapted to different contexts, the challenges and trade-offs that emerge in practice, and how to navigate data limitations and interdisciplinary collaboration when moving from theory to practice.
