“…The seafood sector has been found to contribute to community spirit and pride (Pierce and Robinson, 2013;Reed et al, 2013), and to connection to place (Jacobsen and Delaney, 2014;Ignatius et al, 2019;Lin and Bestor, 2020). Other aspects of cultural capital which contribute to social sustainability include food provision (Crona et al, 2015;Hornborg et al, 2019;Pereira et al, 2021), amenity value (Lin and Bestor, 2020;Alexander, 2022), local and traditional knowledge (Franco-Meléndez et al, 2021) and spiritualism (Ignatius et al, 2019;Wallner-Hahn et al, 2022).…”

“…Across the seafood sector, concerns have been raised regarding the failures of existing regulatory regimes to incorporate local voice (Ignatius et al, 2019Billing et al, 2021Doerr, 2021;Franco-Meléndez et al, 2021;Alexander, 2022) although it is often unclear how communities have engaged in the process to campaign for change. Equity and justice in decision-making has been a key focus of research, with many scholars proposing that adequate access to the information and tools needed to effectively participate in and influence decision-making is key (Halpern, 2003;and Delaney, 2014;Hadjimichael, 2018).…”

“…In some cases, those that are affected most by decisions relating to the seafood sector are not involved, for example, crab collectors in a mangrove crab fishery in Brazil were found not to be included in the planning and implementation of fishery management (Glaser and Diele, 2004). The need to include local knowledge and local perspectives to increase social sustainability has also been noted (Jacobsen and Delaney, 2014) and indeed was found to improve social sustainability for Territorial Use Rights for Fisheries in Chile (Franco-Meléndez et al, 2021).…”

Social sustainability in seafood systems: a rapid review

Sustainability and sustainable development are the buzzwords of our era. Nowhere is this clearer than in primary production/extraction industries, such as aquaculture and fisheries. Yet in the seafood sector (as with many others), the term continues to be used most commonly in relation to the environmental dimension; much less is known about social and economic sustainability. In this review, we explore what is known about social sustainability in the seafood sector. We identify seven key thematic areas: livelihoods and human development; human rights; social, psychological, and cultural needs; equitable access to resource and benefit sharing; a voice in public issues; flow-on benefits for local and regional economies and improved infrastructure and access. We reveal that while there has been a clear focus on developing social sustainability indicators, this has largely missed more relational and subjective aspects of social sustainability. We also show that some thematic areas of social sustainability also remain underdeveloped. Overall, we argue that it is imperative that we address the knowledge gaps and incorporate what we already know about social sustainability into existing industry and governance processes. If we do not, not only risk not achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, but we also risk moving closer towards environmental and societal collapse.

“…Los avances en considerar los criterios sistémicos y ecológicos sobre la sostenibilidad integran los valores sociales implícitos en las actividades tradicionales (Chapin et al 2010). Hasta este momento, existía una fuerte presencia de criterios biológicos en la definición de gestión sostenible (Franco-Meléndez et al 2021). Ante ello, aparece la preocupación por considerar el conocimiento local de las comunidades y de los pescadores (Santos Thykjaer et al 2019) en iniciativas de gestión tales como la preservación, acuicultura o áreas de manejo en la actividad pesquera (Burton 2003).…”

La crisis de las capturas pesqueras que afecta a las comunidades artesanales es un fenómeno complejo causado por transformaciones climáticas, cambios en el comportamiento de los océanos y la sobreexplotación pesquera. La gestión pesquera sostenible extendida en las últimas décadas en muchos países ha cambiado la gestión de los recursos a partir de la regulación de la sobreexplotación y el establecimiento de un nuevo modelo de desarrollo de la pesca. A partir del estudio de dos localidades pesqueras de Chile y a través de una metodología cualitativa y enfoque sistémico se analizan los procesos de desposesión en los últimos cuarenta años. Se concluye que además de la desposesión biofísica sobre las comunidades pesqueras tradicionales, se produce un proceso de desposesión inmaterial y simbólico sobre la pesca artesanal acentuado por el modelo neoliberal, que afecta la capacidad local, obstruyendo un proyecto económico alternativo vinculado al territorio.

“…TURFs have been particularly effective in promoting the recovery of benthic resources, as seen in the case of the Chilean loco [ 22 , 23 ]. The Chilean TURF system has also played a significant role in enhancing the empowerment and social cohesion of coastal fishing organizations [ 24 – 29 ]. Lastly, TURFs have been a particularly important tool in allowing coastal communities and indigenous groups re-gain authority over the management of resources they depend on [ 30 , 31 ].…”

Territorial Use rights in Fisheries (TURFs) are used around the world to manage small-scale fisheries and they’ve shown varying levels of success. Our understanding of what leads to different performance levels is limited due to several reasons. Firstly, these systems are often present in areas with low monitoring capacity where data is scarce. Secondly, past research has centered on the analysis of successful cases, with little attention paid to entire systems. Thirdly, research has been ahistorical, disconnected from the development process of TURF systems. Fourthly, TURFs are often viewed as homogenous ignoring the socio-ecological conditions under which they develop. To address these gaps, the study focuses on Mexico as a case study and context. The research first presents a historical overview of the development of TURF systems in Mexico, including the institutional and legal frameworks that have shaped their evolution. The paper then presents a TURF database that maps all TURF systems in Mexico, including their geographical locations and characteristics. In addition, the study presents case studies based on identified archetypes that showcase the diversity of TURF systems in Mexico, highlighting the different types of systems and the challenges they face. By presenting a comprehensive map of all TURF systems in Mexico, this research paper aims to make an important addition to the case studies in the global literature on TURF systems and provide a valuable resource for marine resource management policymakers, researchers, and practitioners.
