Abstract

Abstract This study examines the knowledge, perceptions, and compliance of fisheries stakeholders with the seasonal fishery closure implemented in the Visayan Sea, Philippines. We interviewed 235 municipal fisheries stakeholders composed of municipal fishers, fish dryers, fish traders/fish brokers (regulated group) and local government units, Philippine National Police-Maritime Group/Philippine Coast Guard, and fish wardens (regulator group) in 12 coastal towns surrounding the Visayan Sea. Data from interviews were complemented by focus group discussions. Overall, municipal fisheries stakeholders have a fair knowledge about the SFC. The regulated group in the municipalities within Panay Island are more knowledgeable about the SFC compared to their counterparts in other areas. There is a positive correlation between the regulated group’s knowledge and perceptions about, and compliance, with the SFC. The lack of alternative livelihoods, uneven implementation of the SFC and poverty also influence compliance. Given our findings, addressing these factors is crucial to effective fisheries management.

地方观点很重要:菲律宾维萨扬海季节性渔业关闭的案例

摘要本研究考察了渔业利益相关者对菲律宾维沙延海季节性渔业关闭的了解、看法和遵守情况。我们采访了235名市政渔业利益相关者，包括市政渔民、鱼类烘干机、鱼类贸易商/鱼类经纪人（受监管小组）和地方政府单位、菲律宾国家警察海事小组/菲律宾海岸警卫队，以及维萨扬海周围12个沿海城镇的鱼类管理员（监管小组）。访谈数据得到重点小组讨论的补充。总的来说，市政渔业利益相关者对证监会有相当的了解。与其他地区的同行相比，帕奈岛市政的受监管团体对证监会的了解更为深入。受监管群体对证监会的了解和看法与合规性之间存在正相关关系。缺乏替代生计、证监会实施不均衡以及贫困也会影响合规性。鉴于我们的调查结果，解决这些因素对于有效的渔业管理至关重要。

期刊介绍： Society and Natural Resources publishes cutting edge social science research that advances understanding of the interaction between society and natural resources.Social science research is extensive and comes from a number of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, political science, communications, planning, education, and anthropology. We welcome research from all of these disciplines and interdisciplinary social science research that transcends the boundaries of any single social science discipline. We define natural resources broadly to include water, air, wildlife, fisheries, forests, natural lands, urban ecosystems, and intensively managed lands. While we welcome all papers that fit within this broad scope, we especially welcome papers in the following four important and broad areas in the field: 1. Protected area management and governance 2. Stakeholder analysis, consultation and engagement; deliberation processes; governance; conflict resolution; social learning; social impact assessment 3. Theoretical frameworks, epistemological issues, and methodological perspectives 4. Multiscalar character of social implications of natural resource management
