“…It is a policy change that has favoured volume-based large-scale production in new company structures and that has been supported by societal demands to have profitable fishing sectors. The development has led to advanced technological innovations and development along the lines of economies-of-scale, but has also resulted in challenges to small-scale fisheries (Viðarsson et al, 2018).…”

“…The vessels form the basis for both full time employment, part-time and recreational fisheries but also for a range of different practices mixing hunting, agriculture with seasonal fisheries. It is estimated that 2,000 people are employed in the coastal sector (out of 3,500 in total) (Viðarsson et al, 2018). For the two most profitable fisheries, shrimp and Greenlandic halibut, the current development is a further concentration of transferable rights along the lines of economies-of-scale (Viðarsson et al, 2018).…”

“…The segmentation and geographical privileges means that Faroese small-scale fisheries are formally protected, even though small-scale fisheries are still reported to be in decline. Recent studies estimate a very low employment in small-scale (coastal) fisheries at around 39-72 people (Viðarsson et al, 2018). With the recent reform, 8.5% of total quotas will be reserved for "development" purposes.…”

“…In 2016, 600 vessels reported catches in the jig and line system, which is also witnessing a concentration of rights. In 2017, the ten largest rights holders, all vertically integrated seafood companies, held 37% of the total jig and line quota (Viðarsson et al, 2018). In response to lengthy debates about fairness of the initial allocations and the subsequent closure of access for newcomers, a new quota system, the strandveiðar, was introduced in 2009.…”

“…However, there has been a continuous and rising concern that the decline of small-scale fisheries was too rapid and drastic. Since 2000 the number of vessels has decreased by 60% (Viðarsson et al, 2018). The initial and optional "coastal fishery safeguard" that awarded smallscale fishers with extra quota portions and limited the sale of quotas to other coastal vessels for a three-year period has recently been supplemented with new instruments.…”

Blue justice: A survey for eliciting perceptions of environmental justice among coastal planners’ and small-scale fishers in Northern-Norway

et al. 2021

Ocean-based economic development arising from an increasing interest in the ‘blue economy’ is placing ecosystems and small-scale fisheries under pressure. The dominant policy response for dealing with multiple uses is the allocation of coastal space through coastal zone planning (CZP). Recent studies have shown that the rush to develop the blue economy and regulate coastal activity can result in social injustices and the exclusion of less powerful and unrecognized groups (e.g., small-scale fishers, women, Indigenous peoples and youth). To achieve a primary goal of the 2030 sustainable development agenda to “leave no one behind”, it is important to understand the implications of coastal planning and development for these groups. Here, we present a social survey protocol for examining perceptions of justice related to small-scale fisheries (SSF) in the context of the blue economy in coastal areas. Specifically, we designed the survey instrument and sampling protocol to assess whether decisions about the use of the coastal zone over the last five years have i) followed principles of good governance, ii) recognized fishers’ knowledge, culture and rights and iii) been attentive to impacts of changed coastal zone use on fisheries. The survey will engage coastal planners (N = app. 120) and fishers (N = app. 4300) in all the coastal municipalities (N = 81) in Northern-Norway. The sampling protocol is designed to ensure representation of different sectors of society, including those defined by gender, age, ethnicity and occupation (e.g., small-scale fishers, large-scale fishers, coastal planners).

Coastal fishing in the Moroccan Mediterranean plays a key role in the fishing industry's economy. This activity is an important source of jobs and income for many coastal communities in the Al Hoceima region of the north-western Mediterranean. This study aims to investigate the state of socio-economic knowledge of the fishermen of the coastal fleet in the region of Al Hoceima, using a diagnosis based on the analysis of socio-economic indicators. The data were obtained by a structured questionnaire with 90 fishermen, 30 captains, and 15 ship owners. The analysis of the data collected revealed, from a social level, a high rate of illiteracy and a low level of education among the fishermen. The economic weight and value of trawlers are significant. Despite the high commercial value of the species, the net income is not satisfactory, so the wealth produced by these fisheries does not have a real impact on the quality of life of the fishers, which does not guarantee the sustainable development of this activity.
