摘要

During the off-season, small-scale fishers migrate to sustain their livelihoods. Focusing on Sri Lanka’s west coast, we investigate the psychological, social, and economic motives influencing the decision-making regarding migration destinations. Our research introduces a holistic view of well-being encompassing material gains, social motives, and functional factors tied to place attachment, which are overlooked in fisheries literature. We conclude that the choice of migration sites is a complex blend of economic, social, and functional motives, each linked to different facets of human well-being. Our insights are extendable to other resource-dependent communities that engage in seasonal migration for livelihood and well-being, such as farmers and miners.
