Traditional Fishing

Belford is a small (about 1.32 square miles), relatively isolated, fishing community. It is nestled between Port Monmouth and Leonardo on Route 36 in the Bayshore area of Middletown, New Jersey. It sits across the bay from New York City such that the view from the fishing port is of New York City and the Earle Naval Pier. Belford is a mix of houses and small businesses, although the primary economic focus is the Belford Seafood Cooperative and the beach/fishing access areas. Ethnographic data was collected for the Belford commercial fishing port as part of a larger effort to provide information that can be used to assess the impacts of changes in the regulatory environment on fisheries and fishing communities. The profile of Belford the follows contributes to other work done on the likely social impacts of alternative regulatory actions, as well as developing scientifically defensible criteria for determining fishery dependency. This research also contributes to our understanding of the role of gentrification on traditional fishing communities, particularly the stress gentrification puts on traditional behaviors.

Abstract The Chitwan valley situated in the inner Terai, Nepal, is endowed with a favourable sub-tropical monsoonal climate, rich soil and abundant forest resources. Livelihoods of half of the population in Chitwan depend on farming. The average size of farm holdings is small (about 0.6 ha) with the agricultural system characterized by an integration of crop and livestock sub-systems. Recognizing the possible role of small-scale aquaculture in poverty alleviation in Nepal, the project "Women in Aquaculture in Nepal" aimed at the introduction and development of backyard pond aquaculture. It has been working with small-scale farming households of the traditional fishing communities of the Darai and Tharu in the Chitwan valley. The project has successfully demonstrated the role of backyard pond aquaculture to diversify the farming systems of traditional fishing communities in the Chitwan valley. Whilst farmers operated low-input aquaculture systems, there is scope for significantly increasing fish production through intensification.

Fishing Regulations

ABSTRACTThis paper assesses the vulnerability of Arctic fishing communities. We hypothesise that climate change related trends, such as increasing temperature and altered seasonality, and shocks, such as the breakdown of the Soviet Union or new fishing regulations, increase vulnerability of local Arctic peoples and compromise the sustainability of their livelihoods. Research shows that over recent decades local people have observed environmental changes and a significant decrease in the number of fish caught. Fishing regulations introduced after the collapse of the Soviet Union burdened fishers with quotas and temporal limitations that have hindered their fishing activities. While the adaptability of traditional fishing techniques to seasonally changing conditions might indicate the potential to adapt to future conditions under climate change, fishing regulations appear to limit this potential to adapt.

The Impact

The use of trawling as a fishing tool has long been known to have a very bad impact on the environment and creates social conflict in fishing communities. Likewise, on the North-East coast of Aceh there are still fishermen who use trawlers as fishing gear. On the other hand, the use of trawling is very damaging to the environment and causes social conflicts for fishermen. The cessation of trawling operations also has an economic and social impact on fishermen who have been using trawling for their livelihood. This study tries to explore how the impact of environmental damage and social impacts or fishing conflicts that occur due to the use of trawling and how the social and economic impacts if trawling operations are stopped on the North-East coast of Aceh. The research method was carried out with an exploratory descriptive qualitative approach. The results showed that there was significant environmental damage in the research area, namely in the waters of Lhokseumawe, North Aceh, East Aceh and Langsa. This is marked by the destruction of coral reefs and the reduced population of various types of fish, some of which are even very rare. The use of trawling also has an impact on social conflicts among fishermen which often occur. Meanwhile, the prohibition of trawling also has an impact on the loss of income for trawler fishermen and those who depend on trawling operations for their livelihoods. This study recommends stopping trawling permanently to preserve the aquatic environment and avoid social conflicts with fishing communities. Furthermore, to save trawler fishermen, the government must try to convert trawler fishing gear to fishing gear that is more economical and environmentally friendly.

Traditional Fishing

The purpose of this study was to determine the business conditions of fishing communities in Ngalipaeng II village. This research is a type of qualitative research. In coastal communities, traditional fishermen are the most suffering, poor and often the victims of the marginalization process due to fisheries modernization policies. In general, the so-called traditional fishermen are fishermen who utilize fishery resources with traditional fishing equipment, small business capital, and relatively simple fishing organizations. In general, fishermen still experience limited fishing technology. With a simple fishing gear, the operational area becomes limited, only around the coastal waters. Another problem is that access to markets is often not owned by fishermen, especially fishermen who live on small islands. Meanwhile, the condition of fish that easily rot, is a big problem faced by traditional fishermen. The income earned by these fishermen is generally used to fulfill the basic needs of family members. The basic needs that are intended in this case are food, clothing and housing as basic needs that are very important for survival, as well as social needs such as activities for merry, thanksgiving and others. Many fishing communities have not been able to meet the needs of household life, education, and other needs. Because given the results of fishing businesses that are so low / less because of limited costs and working capital.

Constitutional Regime

In the article the constitutional arrangements of territorial structure of India are discussed in the context of ethnic, linguistic and religious fragmentation of Indian society. The author highlights the three main approaches to territorial structurization of a plural multiethnic state: federalism, territorial autonomy, and creation of territories with special constitutional regime and reveals the mechanism of each of them on the example of India. Pluralism in approaches to territorial organization of India is stipulated by complex and extremely mosaic ethnic and cultural structure of population of the state. Federalism is applied in India mainly for accommodation of concentrated linguistic groups. Now federalism is also applied for reducing militant separatism in the Indian North-East. At the same time, federalism aims at integration of different ethnic groups into a common political and legal space. Accommodation of a range of tribes in the North-East is achieved through territorial autonomy as well. But tribal peoples living in the central part of India don’t enjoy autonomy. The lands occupied by them have a special constitutional regime (so-called “scheduled territories”) instead. It is emphasized that the choice of a certain solution for an ethnic group is often “situational” and depends on a degree of separatism. From the author’s opinion sometimes territorial solutions are implemented as compromises between the Indian government and political leaders of ethnic separatist movements. Also the article briefly describes ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity of Indian society and its territorial fragmentation. It contains examples connected with creation of Indian States such as Tamil Nadu, Punjab and Nagaland. The information and conclusions in the article rely on materials gathered by the author during the research trip to India in summer 2016.

Traditional Fishing

Fish is one of the best sources of animal protein of the food. Fishing and hunting are the oldest profession of all mankind since man began his search of food. Traditional fishing catching devices which were operated in River Siang, Arunachal Pradesh have been studied with respect to its operation, structure and productivity. The small depicted work highlight 13 different types fish catching devices, which have been classified into 5 different types viz., (i) Encircling Gear (Khewali Jal, Angtha Jal and Ber Jal or Jeng Jal) (ii) Entangling Gear (Langi or Current Jal and Phansi Jal) (iii) Scooping Gear (Sip Jal and Thela Jal) (iv) Hooks and Line fishing (Nal Barshi and Doogabanshi) (v) Traps (Chepa, Dingora, Polo, and Kholaha). The present study was carried out from June 2012 to July 2013 in a 58km stretch of River Siang in East Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh. Some methods can be considered as traditional as well as non-traditional since they are well known in some other states of North-East as well as also in the country with some different kind of variation. Various fishing techniques depend on various behavioral pattern and microhabitat type of fishes.
