Sustainability Of Small-scale Fishing Communities In Jaffna Peninsula Of Sri Lanka: A Multidimensional Analysis On Vulnerability

Transboundary fishing between India and Sri Lanka is one of many issues that leads to vulnerabilities (classified as domains and drivers of vulnerability in the present study) in the human and natural environments of small-scale fishing (SSF) communities in Sri Lanka. Therefore, this qualitative stu...
