The SSF Guidelines are simply one of the most significant landmarks for small-scale fisheries around the world. They are comprehensive in terms of topics covered and very progressive with their foundation on human rights and other key principles. It can be anticipated that implementing the guidelines, whether at local, national or regional levels, will not be easy. Thus, research on implementation challenges in various contexts will be an important contribution from TBTI SSF Guidelines Cluster. At this time, we’re issuing a call for contribution to anyone interested in writing about this topic to send us their case study description by July 31st. Depending on what kind of submission we receive, we will decide on what product(s) we will deliver. They could be an e-book of collected case studies, an edited book volume, or journal special issue. The tentative deadline for the first draft of the writing is January 1, 2016, for the launching and presentation of the next Mare conference in 2017.
