Social and temporal dynamics mediate the distribution of ecosystem service benefits from a small-scale fishery

R. Grantham et al.

Summary: Small-scale fisheries play a crucial role in the livelihoods and food security of millions of people in low-income countries. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding of how these fisheries contribute to ecosystem benefits. This study investigates the allocation of seafood landings by households in relation to supply and season, revealing that households shape the pathways through which seafood contributes to food security. The findings highlight the importance of considering the seasonal context and livelihood priorities in sustainable management of small-scale fisheries.
