  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Oregon's coastal marine recreational fishing community : the state of communication with the fisheries management community Author: Opsommer, Laura The Pacific Northwest and Oregon in particular, have a rich fishing history. There are several fishing communities that rely on the resources found within Oregon waters. This research project explores communication in one particular fishing community, the coastal marine recreational fishing community (CMRFC) and the fisheries management community (FMC). Objectives of the project included: * characterizing formal and informal existing communication methods used by the FMC and the CMRFC, * identifying the current state of communication between the FMC and CMRFC, * determining each communities perceived effectiveness of the current communication methods, * Identifying barriers to communication between the FMC and the CMRFC, and * identifying ways to improve the current state of communication between the communities.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Rural community quotas - intentions and impacts Author: Dreyer, Bent, Hermansen, Oystein In many fisheries, the harvesting pattern shows considerable intra-year variation. These fluctuations give challenges for downstream firms in value chains where predictability and continuity in the flow of production are important. Seasonal harvesting may well be rational from an economic perspective, as migration patterns can give huge variations in catch per unit effort. With limited quotas, profit can be maximized through fishing intensively in short periods. This strategy is particularly present in the Norwegian cod fisheries, where approx. 80 per cent is landed from January to April. During the lean season, fish-processing firms have low capacity utilization, and employees are often laid-off. In order to ease these problems, several schemes have been employed, all aiming at changing the harvesting pattern towards more landings of cod during the autumn. In 2006 and 2007, rural community quotas (RCQs) were re-introduced to improve supplies of raw material to particularly exposed communities in the lean season. An exclusive quota was allocated to an autumn fishery. This was allotted to vessels through a lottery among applicants. Quotas were to be delivered fresh to a specified geographical area. This paper describes and analyses the implementation and impacts of this quota system. The empirical findings reported focuses on the selection of vessels and communities and impact on harvesting pattern and processing.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Community Perception Towards a Set Back Area : A Case Study in Galle District, Sri Lanka Author: Koralagama, Dilanthi In view of the coastal areas, vulnerability to natural hazards particularly tsunami, earthquakes, etc, are rather increasing. The tsunami, giant tidal waves struck on 26th of December 2004 caused severe damage to people and their livelihood. It is now felt that the country should enforce a regulation procedure to manage the coastal zone. This addresses the concept of a set back area in order to mitigate the severity of natural disasters. But, the promulgation of set back area should be account for community perception. Hence, this study was aimed to assess the community perception, possible constraints, and to extract criteria to demarcate a set back area in the littoral. The study was carried out in Galle district, in Southern Sri Lanka, which is one of the districts greatly affected by the tsunami. Three divisional secretariat (DS) divisions viz; Habaraduwa, Hikkaduwa and Galle were selected. Simple random sampling was used to select 120 households. Primary data were gleaned using a pre-tested questionnaire. Informal discussions were held with coastal dwellers, government officers, &etc. The data were analyzed and evaluated to assess the objectives. Accordingly, 54 percent of the community is involved in activities based on fisheries and tourism. The rest 46 percent are engaged in other activities, which are non-stationed in the coastal zone. More than 80 percent households of the area are vulnerable for natural disasters. In consequence, 66 percent were fully damaged and 34 percent were partially damaged. Totally 76 percent of the villagers are willing to have a set back area. But, only 48 percent from 100 m boundary, agreed to have a buffer zone and majority (52%) did not want to leave the place. The reason is that their livelihood activities are adhered to the shore. Further, the buffer zone would reduce the land use efficiency since, it requires 0.25 percent land area. Hence, it is advisable to maintain a buffer zone with a green belt, which is most effective to abate the sea waves. The demarcation of a set back area should consider the geomorphology, natural vegetation cover, &etc. Moreover, government incentives, concessionary loans, permits &etc are tools to promote settlements in inland. Since, the community is in uncertainty and unsecured, willing to have more secured land strip as a buffer zone. Ipso facto, a set back area is a community-blessed concept to mitigate dreadful natural destructions and also to assure the sustainability of the area.
