Sumario:Small-scale fisheries (SSF) provide essential contributions to food security and livelihoods, yet they remain marginalized and face significant challenges in securing equitable and sustainable futures. This thesis aims to explore the concept of transformation in SSF and to stimulate deliberate actions toward fostering more just and resilient spaces for this subsector, with a focus on Uruguay. Through a transdisciplinary and multiscale approach, this work integrates global perspectives with local processes, engaging a diverse network of academic and non-academic collaborators to drive both theoretical insights and practical outcomes. The thesis follows a sequence structured around three interconnected phases: charting, envisioning, and enabling of transformations. Charting presents a systematic review of literature on transformations in SSF, analyzing key drivers, enablers, triggers, agents of change and resistance, and strategies that facilitate transformation.
