- W2214610721 abstract "Vulnerability research in coastal and marine social-ecological systems (CM-SES) to date has focused primarily on conceptual analyses of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Meanwhile the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA) has been utilized mainly in natural resource management or poverty alleviation strategies. The present thesis combines these two frameworks in order to investigate the relationships between marine resource dependence and vulnerability within the CMSES, using the SLA as a point of departure for analysis. Using a case study approach, questionnaires, key informant interviews, focus groups and participant observation were carried out in two regions, Zanzibar, Tanzania and the Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesia. The thesis begins by asking whether the SLA is an appropriate tool for evaluating CM-SES (Chapter 1). After identifying the strengths and weaknesses of this framework, research then moves onto using the lessons learned in Chapter 1 to analyse the effect of patron-client systems on coastal household vulnerability through the lens of the first two sections of the SLA (Chapter 2). Patrons are found to be drivers of and influential actors in relation to marine resource dependence. Using the example of Indonesia, the thesis then asks to what degree the second part of the SLA, the vulnerability context, is influenced by national policy frameworks on vulnerability mitigation (Chapter 3). Although a focus on adaptive capacity is favourable, in this case ignoring issues of exposure and sensitivity to coastal vulnerability is tantamount to treating just the symptoms of a disease, rather than the cause. The final two parts of the SLA, livelihood strategies and outcomes, are the focus of Chapter 4. This chapter empirically tests the idea that livelihood diversity is directly related to food security, a factor used to gauge coastal vulnerability. In both regions, the links between these three factors were found to be weak, at best, indicating that current vulnerability mitigating strategies may need to focus their investigations at a higher resolution at the cost of generalizability. The findings demonstrate that marine resource dependence in the form it takes in either research region may not be able to mitigate vulnerability. Rather, the key to addressing marine ecosystem degradation and decline and poverty lies in understanding and appreciating the finer details that drive marine resource dependence. Furthermore, strategies such as livelihood diversification may not lead coastal communities into a state of lesser vulnerability as is often presumed. These findings have profound implications for conservation and development, highlighting that scientists, decision-makers and practitioners need to embrace vulnerability as an integrated, interdisciplinary and intricate concept." @default.
