  • Assessing Indicators and Limitations of Food Security Objectives in Coral Reef Restoration

    Open AccessJessica M Vandenberg, Jessica Vandenberg et al.ARTICLEConservation and Society2021

    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 …

    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 …

  • Thresholds of Danger

    Richard Β Pollnac, Richard Pollnac et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization1998

    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

    Richard Β Pollnac, Richard Pollnac et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization1995Cited by: 2References: 1

    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

    Richard Β Pollnac, Richard Pollnac et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization1991Cited by: 4References: 11

    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…
