'Transdisciplinarity and Transformation for the Future of Small-Scale Fisheries', a report from the 3rd World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress
Close to 400 researchers, practitioners, small-scale fishers, civil society organizations, environmental organizations, and government representatives gathered on 22–26 October 2018 in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to discuss transdisciplinary strategies to sustain small-scale fisheries, as part of the 3rd World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress.
The 'Transdisciplinarity and Transformation for the Future of Small-Scale Fisheries' report sums up the previous briefs and articles about the congress, offering an in-depth overview of the congress. The report opens with the highlights from the four thematic days: Science, Community, Policy and Action. Following debriefs from the thematic days are the summaries from the regional roundtables. The section about the SSF Guidelines outlines the roles of governments, CSOs, and research community in the implementation process. The last section of the report is dedicated to actions plans that indicate the paths towards the transformation of small-scale fisheries, from the perspective of innovation and transdisciplinarity.
