Fishery Livelihoods and Food Security

Bijay Manti

The complex and interconnected relationship between fishery livelihoods and food security is the focus of this abstract. Fisheries, both large-scale and small-scale, have been the lifeblood of coastal communities for generations, providing not only a source of income but also a critical supply of protein and essential nutrients. This abstract explores the fundamental role fisheries play in sustaining livelihoods and addressing food security concerns, while acknowledging the challenges and opportunities inherent in this dynamic connection. Fishery livelihoods are the backbone of many coastal communities, supporting not only fishers and their families but also associated businesses, thereby stimulating local economies. These livelihoods are especially crucial in low-income countries, where they often represent the primary source of income for communities.
