E-book: Small in Scale, Big in Contributions – Advancing Knowledge of Small-Scale Fisheries in Bangladesh
This book is a comprehensive guide for small-scale fisheries in Bangladesh for those interested in learning more about this vital sector. It provides an overview of the importance of small-scale fisheries, the challenges they face, and the opportunities they offer. This edited volume includes contributions from academics, researchers, NGO representatives, and practitioners who have a stake in Bangladesh's small-scale fisheries. The book is designed to provide a thorough introduction to small-scale fisheries in Bangladesh and help readers understand the importance of preserving this valuable resource. We hope this book will be of great use to those interested in learning more about the country’s small-scale fisheries and in supporting the sustainable management of this important resource. We also hope it will raise public awareness and inform policymakers of the need to protect these valuable fisheries and the livelihoods of the people who depend on them.
