The Small Island Agricultural Support Services (SMISLE) programme is a joint project of the Government of the Philippines and the European Union, working towards accelerating development on several small islands in the Visayas. Many small island communities face the problem of over-utilization of their local marine resource. The pressure on the marine resource can be alternative sources of income. In order to present local fisher communities with ideas as to alternative sources of income, SMISLE itself requires information on alternative livelihood options. For this reason, SMISLE is pleased to be able to join with the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction to publish this book.
