    The fisheries sector is vulnerable to poverty and marginalization, income variability, limited access to finance and savings, social and economic risks, gender inequality, and substandard working conditions. These conditions reduce the sector’s adaptive capacity, often leading to negative coping strategies to protect short-term well-being and consumption. Such strategies include removing children from school, selling productive assets, and engaging in Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. These short-term “solutions” result in long-term detriment for households and fisheries resources. The “Social Protection for the Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector” (SocPro4Fish) project seeks to enhance adequate social protection coverage in the fisheries sector to address these risks, vulnerabilities, and challenges. In doing so, it addresses practical challenges in the implementation of social protection programs in the fisheries sector, including coherence between fisheries management and social policies, inter-institutional coordination, and limited evidence. This infographic captures the main results of the SocPro4Fish project in Tunisia.
