Towards improved compliance in small-scale fisheries in South Africa
In South Africa, the problem of fisheries non-compliance has been highlighted as a priority issue for management authorities.
|
However, there is a lack of understanding of the underlying factors that lead to non-compliance and appropriate strategies that could be used to enhance resource sustainability at the same time as protecting livelihoods. The main aim of this 3 year research project is to develop and apply an analytical framework for understanding, analysing and addressing compliance issues in small-scale fisheries in South Africa.
