High Level

Artisanal fishing communities include some of the ‘poorest of the poor’. Using data from gill net fishers in Malaysia, the paper presents the first technical efficiency study of an artisanal fishery and finds that artisanal fishers are poor, but enjoy a high level of technical efficiency. If the relatively high levels of technical efficiency found in the Malaysian gill net fishery existed in other artisanal fisheries, it suggests that targeted development assistance that has traditionally been focussed on the harvesting sector may be better directed to other priorities in artisanal fishing communities.

The Subject

Considerado a principal política destinada à pesca artesanal brasileira nas últimas décadas, o Seguro-Defeso (SD) garante aos pescadores renda mínima no período de Defeso, quando ocorre interrupção forçada do trabalho. Este artigo busca realizar uma análise das contradições relacionados ao SD, abordando sua importância frente às características socioeconômicas dos pescadores, ao mesmo tempo em que problematiza a ação estatal restrita a esse benefício, entendendo-o como incapaz de fortalecer as comunidades pesqueiras nos conflitos socioambientais que enfrentam em seu dia a dia. A metodologia deste trabalho envolveu uma revisão de literatura sobre o tema, o uso dos dados do pagamento do SD e dos microdados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua (PNADC) do ano de 2018. Os resultados apontam para a importância do benefício, mas reiteram o preterimento da dimensão sociopolítica.Palavras-chave: Seguro-Defeso. Pesca artesanal. Conflitos socioambientais.PUBLIC POLICIES AND SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICTS: problematizing artisanal fishing insuranceAbstractConsidered the main policy intended to support the Brazilian artisanal fishing in recent decades, the Seguro-Defeso (SD) grants fishermen a minimum income during the Defeso season, when forced interruption of work occurs. This paperobjective is to analyze the contradictions related to SD policy, analyzing its importance in relation to the socioeconomic characteristics of fishermen, while questioning the efficiency of the state action restricted to this benefit, understanding it as unable to strengthen fishing communities in the socio-environmental conflicts that they face. The methodology of this workinvolved literature review on the subject, the use of the SD payment data and the microdata of the National Continuous Household Sample Survey (PNADC) of the 2018 year. The results of this paper point to the importance of the benefit, but reiterate the neglect of the socio-political dimension.Keywords: Seguro-Defeso. Artisanal fishing.

Vital Resource

Fishing communities often face similar challenges that include overfishing, lack of food security, and unenforced sustainability policies. Tárcoles, mid-Pacific coast of Costa Rica, generates the majority of its income through fishing. A local cooperative aids families with direct marketing, lowering middleman power and generally benefitting the community. To understand the role of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, we interviewed 47 women and youth (aged 13-72) and 41 young students (17-24) at the University of Costa Rica. We found that shrimp is a vital resource used both for food security and to improve economic situations of fishermen and women. People who have been fishing for more years perceive more positively the success of conservation efforts (P=0,05). Fishermen who have fished in more recent years also perceived greater success in shrimp recuperation in the town (P=0,03). At the University of Costa Rica, many students had at least a basic awareness of social and economic realities in rural fishing communities. Knowledge about artisanal fishing from UCR students was found to be very limited, with many respondents believing that artisanal fishing communities have no impact on large cities in Costa Rica. They should receive more education on this subject.
