Small-Scale Fisheries for Blue Transformation

On the last day of the 3rd World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress, held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 2018, ‘Blue Justice’ came up as the main take-home message from the congress. Since then, TBTI has been promoting the concept, arguing for careful consideration for small-scale fisheries, that they should not be disadvantaged or marginalized by Blue Economy initiatives. Rather, small-scale fisheries should be well integrated in a just and equitable process, including in the context of Blue Transformation, promoted by FAO, in line with the principles and recommendations in the SSF Guidelines.Ratana Chuenpagdee, TBTI Global Foundation, ThailandSvein Jentoft, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway, NorwayJewel Das, University of Bremen, Germany / University of Chittagong, BangladeshJaime Ramón Bruquetas, University of La Laguna (Tenerife), SpainYinji Li, Tokai University, Japan
