Poverty and Reefs. Volume 2, Case Studies / edited by Emma Whittingham , Jock Campbell, Philip Townsley

Exeter, UK :IMM Ltd ,c2003


xiv, 232 p. ,ill. (some col.) ; 28 cm

Volume 2 is intended as a background and support document for the overview and discussion in Volume 1. Many examples from the case studies are included in Volume 1, alongside other examples from around the world taken from the literature. In the current document these examples are placed in the wider context of the study areas and communities, focusing on the different social, ecological, economic and administrative factors which affect livelihood opportunities at those locations. Each case study also outlines the local perceptions and extent of poverty and using the framework of the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach outlines the key benefit flows from the reef to the poor reef-dependent stakeholders in the study communities. Changes to reef-derived livelihoods in the study communities are also briefly reviewed.
