According to many authors, small-scale fishers are ‘‘the poorest
of the poor,’’ and near-shore fishing is their ‘‘occupation of the
last resort’’ [cited in [14, 25–28]]; and the poor are often accused
for overexploitation natural resources, because they have no
other options. However, it has been argued that it is not so much
the fishers’ level of poverty that is a problem [28], but the fact
that they are vulnerable. Their income is highly variable, and they
are often dependent on a single source of income (fishing) and on
market access to trade the fish they catch [29]
