TL;DR: A review of studies on MPA design and community-based marine resource management and fieldwork observations provides suggestions on how to address current socioeconomic shortcomings in marine protected area design and implementation, successfully involving local communities in order to provide a better local basis for effective larger MPA networks as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security as discussed by the authors has explicit goals and defined targets for marine biodiversity conservation, but not for the food security of the region's marine-resource dependent people, despite this being the wider aim used to justify conservation action.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the Indonesian policy framework for coastal and marine policy interventions that either directly or indirectly address different dimensions of coastal livelihood vulnerability and found that the policy environment for addressing coastal livelihood vulnerabilities is heavily based on developing adaptive capacity and to a certain extent sensitivity without adequately addressing exposure, the initial cause of vulnerability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline three ways in which the application of IUU discourse and regulation undermines small-scale fisheries and propose three strategies by which a more sensitive and ultimately more equitable incorporation of small scale fisheries can be supported in the global fight against IUU fishing.

TL;DR: In this paper, gender has been notably absent from the literature on small-scale fisheries and associated livelihood improvement programs, despite increasing evidence of the importance of gender equality and women empowerment in achieving such outcomes.
