Integration of a local fish market in Namibia with the global seafood trade: Implications for fish traders and sustainability
Rain and Copper: The Evolution of a Fish Marketing Channel in a Rapidly Changing Region of Southern Africa
This case study of a fish market near the border of Namibia and Zambia examines how economic and environmental changes have affected the marketing channels associated with fishery in southern Africa. We monitored the volume and origin of fish entering the market in Katima Mulilo, Namibia, between 2007 and 2012, and conducted semi-structured interviews with fish committee members and market vendors. Prior to 2010, the market for fish had a simple …
Rivers as resources, rivers as borders: Community and transboundary management of fisheries in the Upper Zambezi River floodplains
This article examines the recent convergence of community‐based and transboundary natural resource management in Africa. We suggest that both approaches have potential application to common‐pool resources such as floodplain fisheries. However, a merging of transboundary and community‐based management may reinforce oversimplifications about heterogeneity in resources, users, and institutions. A scalar mismatch between the ecosystem of concern in t…
Market-resource Links and Fish Vendor Livelihoods in the Upper Zambezi River Floodplains
Gatekeepers and Keymasters: Dynamic Relationships of Access in Geographical Fieldwork
This article contributes to a recent and growing body of literature exploring the nature of fieldwork in human geography. Specifically, we critically examine the role of gatekeepers in providing access to "the field," based on existing conceptualizations of gatekeepers in the literature and on our own experiences with gatekeepers. We argue that the concept of gatekeepers has been oversimplified, in that relationships between researchers and gatek…
