Fish in multifunctional landscapes

FISH research addresses how fisheries in estuaries, rivers, wetlands, man-made water bodies and rice fields can be sustained in landscapes where natural variability, land-use changes, hydropower development and climate change are major challenges. Additional localized challenges include access rights, power dynamics and decision-making, and distribution of benefits in terms of gender and social equity among poor and marginalized people.

FISH takes an interdisciplinary approach to interventions, combining ecological, hydrological and governance research and providing an understanding of how poor women, men and youth manage risks and realize opportunities. Tools to negotiate tradeoffs and synergies between fish production and alternative landscape uses will also be considered.

Research cuts across scales, linking with and informing national as well as regional development and policy processes. This research is focused on Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar and Zambia.
