Fishers’ migration in the small pelagic fishery of Ghana: A case of small-scale fisheries management

Abstract

Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This study investigates the migration patterns of fishers within the small pelagic fishery of Ghana, focusing on the socio-economic and environmental factors influencing their movements. Utilizing a combination of field surveys and interviews, the research identifies key drivers of migration, including resource availability and market access. The findings reveal significant seasonal variations in fishers’ migration, which are closely linked to the dynamics of fish stocks and local economic conditions. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of the socio-ecological interactions in Ghana’s fisheries and highlights the need for adaptive management strategies to support sustainable fishing practices.
