Documentary abstract — original language

The Buen Vivir paradigm, that inspired the Ecuadorian National Development Plan (PNBV) represents a shift in understanding development and articulates mother earth’s and human’s rights, both as subjects of legal protection. This chapter aims to disentangle contradictions between the PNBV and current practices at the small-scale fisheries sector. Theoretically grounded in the governability concept, we explore commonalities between the Buen Vivir objectives and the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines) principles. The chapter (a) illustrates how are the PNBV objectives align to the guiding principles of the SSF Guidelines; (b) explores to what extent the actions taken by the state address issues desired to achieve small-scale fisheries sustainability; and (c) identifies what elements within the Ecuadorian fishing governance system are missing in order to enhance small-scale fisheries sustainability. The study involved a comprehensive literature review and empirical work using semi-structured interviews and participant observation. Commonalities on both instruments (e.g. diversity, sustainability, and human dignity) were found but also some unique elements such as in the PNBV (e.g. rights of nature and sovereignty) or in the SSF Guidelines (e.g. gender). Additionally, initiatives addressing some threats to the fisheries occur, but still are isolated practices with low connectivity to the entire fisheries systems. Finally, mismatches between the PNBV’s rhetoric and the fisheries governance practices occur and have inordinately delayed the improvement of small-scale fisheries governability. Coherent theories and practices at the political and social realms, under innovative ontological and epistemological connotations of fisheries will help to achieve their sustainability under the Buen Vivir paradigm.
