Abstract:
"When developing a working model for measuring resilience of Caribbean and Pacific island communities, many factors were intentionally omitted. Contextual factors are among those that were set aside, yet their importance is undeniable. Historical conditions, legal codes, and sociocultural institutions are linked to the resilience of island communities. However, their measurement and inclusion in quantitative models requires a creative approach. Fishing communities provide an example of the value of contextual factors in shaping present and future conditions for communities and their resources. This presentation will explore the inclusion of contextual factors in resilience models and applications to fishery management planning."
