International Resources Management Institution, 2009. 311pp. A4. Printed copy with CD . New. R. E. Johannes was a tropical marine ecologist who, from the mid-1970s, pioneered the idea of integrating for resource conservation the specialized ecological knowledge and traditional marine resource management systems of Pacific Island fishing communities with Western concepts of scientific management. In so doing he highlighted the importance of indigenous knowledge and community based systems as key factors in marine conservation.Aware that the rapid disappearance of traditional knowledge and the lack of interest of younger people in acquiring it was a serious constraint on implementing his approach, Johannes sought to create a widespread awareness of this often encyclopedic knowledge base. He advocated a reawakening of traditional environmental ethics among youth and hereditary chiefs related to their exclusive reef and lagoon tenure, an ancient form of marine protection which, he contended, provides a practical and time-tested model of "limited entry" that Western fisheries biologists and economists were only then hitting on as an innovative way to manage their own fisheries.Reprinted here in chronological order are 24 of Robert Johannes’ contributions in marine traditional knowledge and management that extend the ideas expressed in his renowned book, Words of the Lagoon.. |
International Resources Management Institution, 2009. 236pp. A4. Printed copy with CD . New. 97 figures, 21 tables and 100colour photographs. Although fermented fish products are of major importance in East Asia, and particularly in Southeast Asia, studies of them remain few, limited, fragmented, and often highly specialized. Most contributions deal with chemical analyses of these products, a description of the processing, the chemical changes that occur during processing, and fermentation within the general context of fish processing.In contrast, this comprehensive and highly detailed study is based on a 6-month field survey conducted jointly by the authors on the entire range of the fermented fish industry, from the catching of the raw materials through processing, to the culinary use and cultural-ecological context. The survey was conducted in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.. |

New. 55 photographs, 5 figures, 8 tables. Time-tested, non-Western systems of marine resource and community management are widely used in small-scale, nearshore fisheries throughout the world. In Vietnam, the more than 300-year-old van chai offers an outstanding example of such a system.The van chai is a system of community fisheries management rooted in spiritual beliefs. Its main principles are the veneration of deities and ancestors, combined with the sacred obligations of mutual assistance within the community. At the heart of the system is the veneration of "whales" (a generic term for cetaceans) and community ancestors as deities. Based on that sacred core, the van chai is a comprehensive management institution that addresses several basic and interrelated resource and community issues simultaneously. These are: (1) assuring mutual assistance among fishers; (2) controlling the behavior, rights and obligations of fisheries stakeholders; (3) regulating the disposal of the catch and profit-sharing; and (4) regulating fishing operations by enforcing rules made by the local community regarding the eligibility and seasonality of the main gear types, conciliating fisheries conflicts, and meting out punishment. Only relatively recently has it been acknowledged that such pre-existing rights-based systems can provide potentially important alternative approaches for managing modern fisheries. Indeed, all contributors to this volume stress the future importance of the indigenous van chai in providing a foundation for organizing viable local management of the nearshore fisheries and fishing communities of Vietnam. Such a system, based on Vietnamese cultural roots, would be more politically acceptable and culturally satisfying than one constructed on the abstract and unproven imported concepts currently being promoted.Organized by the editors of this volume, a "Special Session" devoted to studies on the van chai by Vietnamese researchers was included in the "IFFET 2008" conference of the International Institute of Fisheries Economics & Trade, held at Nha Trang University, July 22-25, 2008. Preliminary drafts of some of the chapters included in this volume were presented at that event. . |
