Perceptions of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (Enso) and La Niña Shape Fishers’ Adaptive Capacity and Resilience
Much research has raised concerns about how a warming planet will interact with natural cyclical climatic variations, and the implications for the resilience and vulnerability of coastal communities. As the anticipated effects of climate change will continue to intensify, it is necessary to understand the response and adaptive capacity of individuals and communities. Coastal communities in Ecuador have evolved in an environment of such cyclical c…
Understanding Factors Affecting Fishers’ Wellbeing in the U.S. Virgin Islands through the Lens of Heuristic Modelling
Ongoing efforts to improve U.S. Caribbean fisheries management include increased consideration for human dimensions data and increased stakeholder input and engagement. Given the significant pressure that the local fisheries have sustained due to environmental degradation, climate change, storms and hurricanes, and overharvesting, combined with the critical data gaps that exist in both natural and human dimensions, it becomes particularly importa…
MPAs As Protected Destinations
Over the last several decades, marine protected areas (MPAs)—including reserves, parks, sanctuaries, natural monuments, natural resource management areas, heritage areas, and the like—have proliferated throughout the world. In this conceptual and empirical paper, we explore the diversity and nature of MPAs in Puget Sound, Washington, focusing on outdoor recreational uses. Puget Sound MPAs qualify as marine protected destinations (MPDs) and—when t…

Assessing Indicators and Limitations of Food Security Objectives in Coral Reef Restoration
Coral reef restoration is often presented as a marine conservation solution that provides ‘win-win’ outcomes. However, most studies on reef restoration have focused on the biological success, while little is known about whether social objectives are ever achieved. This study investigates a reef restoration initiative in the Spermonde archipelago, Indonesia, where food security was initially presented as an intended social outcome. We utilised an …

Aspects of Fishery Management, Job Satisfaction, and Well-Being among Commercial Fishermen in the Northeast Region of the United States
The complexity and rapid changes in fishery management approaches have forced fishermen to adopt strategies that may not be congruent with the original appeal of fishing as an occupation. Changes in fish populations and resulting efforts to manage stocks can impact job characteristics that influence job satisfaction (social–psychological needs, basic needs, and self-actualization) and potentially well-being. This hypothesis is addressed through e…

Which Fishers are Satisfied in the Caribbean? A Comparative Analysis of Job Satisfaction Among Caribbean Lobster Fishers
Lobster fishing (targeting the spiny lobster Panulirus argus) is an important economic activity throughout the Wider Caribbean Region both as a source of income and employment for the local population as well as foreign exchange for national governments. Due to the high unit prices of the product, international lobster trade provides a way to improve the livelihoods of fisheries-dependent populations. The specie harvested is identical throughout …

Job Satisfaction in the Fishery in Two Southeast Alaskan Towns
Job satisfaction provides us with a window to view the psycho-cultural adaptations of individuals in communities. In this case we are looking at three maritime occupations in two highly fishing-dependent communities in Southeast Alaska. A great deal of research has linked job satisfaction to individual attributes such as mental health and longevity; and social problems such as family violence, absenteeism, and job performance. Job satisfaction, i…
Thresholds of Danger
Building on previous research published in this journal (Pollnac et al. 1995), the paper examines individual and cultural factors that influence the thresholds of danger among North Atlantic fishers from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Refined measures of perceptions of the dangers of fishing are developed and examined in terms of their relationship to individual differences such as ethnicity, age, fishing experience, onboard position, type of fishin…
Cultural Adaptation to Danger and the Safety of Commercial Oceanic Fishermen
This article describes the psycho-cultural adaptation to danger and its effect on safety practices among New England fishers. Denial and trivialization are common mechanisms used in coping with the dangers associated with their occupation. Examining concordance between Coast Guard data and fishers' accounts allows for the evaluation of the fishers' understandings about actual causes of fishing vessel accidents. Additionally, the article uses soci…
Psychocultural Adaptation and Development Policy for Small-scale Fishermen's Cooperatives in Ecuador
The two principal methods of producing marine products, mariculture and capture fishing, manifest radically different work patterns. The only similarity is the product. The paper argues that these different patterns of production influence different modes of social and psychocultural adaptation among mariculturalists and capture fishermen. Data analyzed from 48 cooperatives in Ecuador indicate that these different modes of adaptation influence fa…
The Structure of Job Satisfaction Among New England Fishermen and Its Application to Fisheries Management Policy
This article examines the structure of job satisfaction among New England fishermen using three different measures. The various measures of job satisfaction were found to be complexly related to other sociocultural variables such as age, education, years of fishing experience, type of fishing, ethnicity, and home port. The policy implications of these findings are discussed as they relate to fishery development and management

Illusion Susceptibility and Adaptation to the Marine Environment
The relatively flat and featureless marine environment makes unique perceptual demands on fishermen who must make distance judgments in order to locate themselves with respect to available resources. Past research has found that perceptual adaptation to one environment (e.g., a carpentered environment) can result in perceptual erors in another (e.g., judging line lengths on the Muller-Lyer Illusion). This paper provides a strong test of the envir…

Intra‐cultural variability in the structure of the subjective color lexicon in Buganda 1
The purpose of this paper is to describe the relationship between variability in the structure of the Luganda color lexicon and other sociocultural variables. The distribution of color in the physical and sociocultural environment in Buganda is described first in order to provide a context for the description of the color lexicon. Several psycholinguistic techniques are used to determine the range and extent of cognitive variability with respect …

Drinking Patterns and Acculturation in Rural Buganda1
Basic sociocultural changes are often reflected in changing drinking patterns. Data from rural Uganda suggests that with increasing acculturation, there is a trend toward informal drinking behavior, a preference for modern beverages, and the elaboration of drinking settings. Modern settings appear to provide important opportunities for access to the national culture. Results indicate that the marginal population, not the least or most acculturate…

Gratification Patterns and Modernization in Rural Buganda
This paper examines the nature of the relationship of various aspects of the modernization process to deferred/immediate goal gratification among rural Baganda living in Uganda. Study 1 investigates and rejects the assumption that deferred gratification (or the willingness to postpone immediate desires for more substantial future rewards) is positively and linearly related to modernization. Study 2 examines additional factors, assumes a nonlinear…

Factor Analysis and Case Selection in Complex Societies
0f major concern to anthropologists today is the viability of their traditional research procedures for comprehending large, complex societies. In a recent review of these matters, Despres has observed that: The problem involves the impending extinction of the so-called primitive societies in which anthropologists have done most of their work and the growing realization that anthropology's future as a scientific discipline depends upon the abilit…

Economic Gratification Orientations Among Small-Scale Fishermen in Panama and Puerto Rico
Economic Gratification Patterns of Fishermen and Millworkers in New England
The paper tests several hypotheses concerning the correlates of economic gratification orientations among fishermen and mill workers in southern New England. The findings indicate that economic gratification orientations are related to occupation, temporal perspective, and ethnicity. It is suggested that economic gratification patterns are influenced by periodicity of income and perceived access to the means of production, two factors intimately …

Culture and Memory Revisited
The free recall of words among several samples of Baganda schoolchildren are examined in light of recent studies conducted in Africa and elsewhere. Quantitative and qualitative differences in free recall within a specific age-education group suggest that there is interschool variability in some component of the educational process related to memory skills. It is thus suggested that years of education must be more carefully defined in cross-cultur…
