Abstract People living in poverty depend directly on local ecosystems for food and income, yet the coastal dimension of this poverty–environment nexus remains poorly understood. We examine seagrass-associated fishing and household poverty using household socio-economic data from 156 Indo-Pacific communities, linked to estimates of seagrass-proximate populations. Fishing households were consistently poorer than non-fishers, and seagrass-dependent households earned ~23% less than other fishers.
