This paper describes and analyzes the results of anthropological fieldwork carried out to determine the degree and patterns of residential mobility of commercial fishermen based in a small, southeastern US community undergoing rapid transformations. While the study was conducted to directly aid in understanding the issue of mobility for the Census Bureau, the findings are also applicable to the job of improving federal fishery management by making it more responsive to the needs of fishing communities. Such communities, however defined, are currently experiencing great stress from the exogenous forces of tourism, land redevelopment, globalization of seafood markets, increasing property taxes, and environmental degradation. How different groupings in the community respond to or resist such stress is conditioned by the role and class each grouping occupies. In the case of this small grouping of snapper-grouper fishermen, their extremely marginalized position in the community did not afford them the ability to resist being forced out of business and their fish house being closed down in December 2003. This paper explores the marginalization of commercial fishermen in the southeastern United States, and submits that the process and outcome of federal fisheries management can be improved by better understanding the social and cultural context of fishermen’s day-to-day lives
