Financial strain |
Higher levels of financial strain would increase
stakeholders’ discount rates, making long-term payoffs less attractive;

Income from fishery (%) |
A high reliance on the fishery, assessed as a proportion of

2001); or restrict an individual’s capacity to incur short-term costs
(Gelcich et al. 2005). |
