En todo el mundo, los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos, como las tormentas, las sequías y las inundaciones, son cada vez más fuertes y frecuentes. En su lucha por superar los impactos de estos desastres, los usuarios de los recursos naturales (pescadores, agricultores) dependen de los conocimientos y del apoyo que les llega tanto desde dentro como fuera de sus comunidades. Para responder a la pregunta "¿cómo afrontar las crisis?", hay que saber «a quién acudir en caso de catástrofe». Aportamos información sobre dos ejemplos de investigaciones en curso que estudian el rol de las redes sociales de pescadores y agricultores a la hora de afrontar y recuperarse de catástrofes medioambientales que provocaron cambios drásticos en sus respectivas comunidades en Perú y Bangladesh. Nuestras conclusiones indican que el número y la diversidad de las conexiones son cruciales para afrontar las crisis, y sugieren la necesidad de seguir investigando sobre las formas en que las redes sociales configuran las respuestas individuales y comunitarias a los impactos ambientales.

Around the globe, extreme weather events like storms, droughts and floods get stronger and hit more often. In their struggle to overcome the impacts of such disasters, natural resource users (fishers, farmers) depend on knowledge and support coming from both within and outside their communities. To answer the question 'how to cope with crises?', we therefore have to find out 'whom to turn to when disasters hit'. We provide insights into two examples of ongoing research that investigate the role of fishers and farmers' social networks when dealing with and recovering from environmental disasters that brought drastic change to their respective communities in Peru and Bangladesh. Our findings indicate that the number and diversity of connections is crucial for coping with crises, and suggest the need for further research on the ways social networks are shaping individual and community responses to environmental impacts.

Weltweit werden extreme Wetterereignisse wie Stürme, Dürren und Überschwemmungen immer stärker und treten häufiger auf. Bei der Bewältigung der Auswirkungen solcher Katastrophen sind die Nutzerinnen und Nutzer natürlicher Ressourcen (Fischer*innen, Landwirte und Landwirtinnen) auf Wissen und Unterstützung sowohl von innerhalb und als auch außerhalb ihrer Gemeinschaften angewiesen. Um die Frage zu beantworten, wie man Umweltkatastrophen am Besten übersteht, müssen wir daher herausfinden, welche Verbindungen im Krisenfall besonders hilfreich sind. Wir geben Einblicke in zwei Beispiele laufender Forschungsarbeiten, welche die Rolle sozialer Netzwerke bei der Bewältigung von Naturkatastrophen in Peru und Bangladesch untersuchen. Unsere Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Anzahl und die Vielfalt der Verbindungen für die Krisenbewältigung entscheidend sind. Dies macht deutlich, dass die Art und Weise, wie soziale Netzwerke
die individuellen und gemeinschaftlichen Reaktionen auf Umweltauswirkungen beeinflussen, weiter erforscht werden muss.
Marine coastal governance encompasses the formal and informal processes of interaction and decision-making of actors involved in any issue of public interest regarding the marine and coastal environment. This report focuses primarily on summarizing and describing the main state-driven processes related to the governance of the coastal fisheries and (marine) aquaculture sectors (i.e. mariculture) in Peru. However, we also explain the predominant tensions between resource-based development regulations and key user groups. These tensions include strategies of contestation and adaptation of users which can involve or relate to informal and illegal processes in marine and coastal resource management. In a short introduction we will first provide context to the described processes by framing them with broader debates about the ways in which resource-based development is organized in Peru, namely privately owned and centralized, and discursively naturalized through narratives that prioritize economic growth over sustainability. The following second section provides the broader institutional background of fisheries and aquaculture governance by sketching the cornerstones of the Peruvian legal and political systems. The third section of the report is dedicated to the governance of fisheries, especially artisanal and small-scale fisheries, paying special attention to the mech-anisms of different fishing access regimes. Peruvian artisanal and small-scale fishing is one of the most relevant economic activities of the Humboldt Current Upwelling System (HCUS) as it provides the majority of fish for domestic human consumption, targeting more than 300 species, and employing four times more people than the industrial fisheries. The fourth and last section then focuses on the governance of mariculture following the same structure as the previous one. In this section, the information presented is being related to the specific case of the Peruvian bay scallop [Argopecten purpuratus]. Together with the whiteleg shrimp [Litopenaeus vannamei], this species makes up for more than 99 percent of commercial mariculture in Peru over the last decades, and it is of particular importance in the two main research areas of our study. The fifth and sixth subsectionsof the governance of fisheries (i.e. third section) and mariculture (i.e. fourth section) describe the limits of current governance and important lines of conflicts respectively.
