- ‘Governing the governance’ refers to the overarching values and interests on which governing institutions are built and operate relative to small-scale fisheries. Who are these values representing and how consistent are institutional settings with respect to them? How effective are existing institutions for accommodating diverse values in their governing practices? This chapter explores the governance system and experiences of small-scale fisheries in the Baltic Sea, particularly in the context of the European Union (EU) Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). We focus on the EU governing system and its relation with the values and interests of small-scale fisheries and the organizations representing them, and evaluate the scope for the governability of small-scale fisheries in the Baltic Sea. Our chapter use the case of fishers’ representation in the EU Baltic Sea Advisory Council for this purpose and discusses the consequences of a missing link between small-scale coastal fisheries’ values and the overarching EU fisheries governance system regulated by the CFP. Finally, we explore how this missing linkage might change under current regional and local initiatives to support small-scale fisheries in Europe, and conclude on the governability and transdisciplinary challenges this shift may entail.

- © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. Coastal residents and fishing families worldwide have long relied upon marine resources for their livelihoods and way of life. Fishing families have a history of relying on family members—especially female members—in related businesses, but also can combine non-fishing-related activities to build their resilience. These women and households are characterized by operating independently and showing personal autonomy for the uptake of both traditional enterprises and adapted technologies. It is also natural for women to play important roles in supporting resilience driving such activities and innovations in work and workways. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this article presents women’s activities in two coastal communities in Miyagi, Japan, and San Jose, Peru. The research highlights the importance of sociocultural and gendered contexts as a means to better understand women’s role communities. Strengthening women and fishing households’ adaptations to external pressures and challenges in uncertain environmental global change scenarios can be crucial for the resilience of the small-scale fisheries worldwide.
