Urban life is crisscrossed and affected by events and matter in various scales, of which the microscopic has been only partly addressed in scholarship and policymaking. In this article, I propose that it is urgent to incorporate new materialist ethics for a better urban governance of technomolecular flows, that is the multiple ways anthropogenically induced microscopic elements are affecting cities. Chemicals, minerals, fungi, viruses, bacteria, and other forms of life and matter affect human and environmental health as well as the shape and materials of the built environment. Coastal cities are particularly prone to such flows of chemical-, mineral- and bio-materials because of their location between sea and land. Existing legal and institutional frameworks tend to lag behind the uses of microscopic elements by industry and urban dwellers. A new materialist ethics would help rethink institutional architectures and responses to existing entanglements and the emerging risks they pose.

城市生活纵横交错,受到各种尺度的事件和物质的影响,其中微观尺度的事件和物质在学术研究和政策制定中只得到了部分关注。在这篇文章中,我提出当务之急是纳入新唯物主义伦理学,以更好地治理城市的技术分子流,即人类活动引起的微观要素影响城市的多种方式。化学品、矿物质、真菌、病毒、细菌以及其他形式的生命和物质影响着人类和环境的健康,也影响着建筑环境的形状和材料。沿海城市由于地处海陆之间,尤其容易受到化学、矿物和生物材料流动的影响。现有的法律和制度框架往往落后于工业和城市居民对微观元素的使用。新的唯物主义伦理学将有助于重新思考体制结构和应对现有的纠葛及其带来的新风险。

Understanding the informal institutions arising from cultural norms, taboos, and beliefs can improve conservation efforts and resource management in Africa. However, little is known of their potential for governing the management of artisanal gillnet fisheries, as well as, the practices and activities of fishers in Ghana. Here, we explore the practices of artisanal gillnet fishers landing shark and ray as their major components and the informal institutions governing the management of these fisheries. We interviewed 33 active and retired fishers in five fishing communities in Western Ghana, complemented with participant observations to collect data for the study. While fishing effort and the financing of fishing trips vary between fishers using drift gillnets and bottomset gillnets, the sharing systems and payment of crew members are relatively uniform in both fisheries and across the study communities. Despite the absence of state regulation, the species-specific taboos recorded offer protection for Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus) and whales (Cetacea), which are considered threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The role of modern religions (like Christianity and Islam) and the influx of different people with different values, beliefs, and cultures explain the erosion of some resource management taboos and beliefs. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of officially recognizing these informal institutions as legitimate institutions for the effective management of imperiled marine species targeted by gillnet fishers at the local level.

了解由文化规范、禁忌和信仰产生的非正式制度可以改善非洲的保护工作和资源管理。然而,人们对它们在管理个体刺网渔业方面的潜力以及加纳渔民的做法和活动知之甚少。在此,我们探讨了以鲨鱼和鳐鱼为主要捕捞对象的个体刺网渔民的做法,以及管理这些渔业的非正式机构。我们采访了加纳西部五个渔业社区的 33 名在业渔民和退休渔民,并辅以参与观察来收集研究数据。虽然使用流刺网和底层刺网的渔民的捕鱼量和出海捕鱼的资金来源各不相同,但在两种渔业和研究社区中,船员的分享制度和报酬相对统一。尽管没有国家法规,但所记录的针对特定物种的禁忌为鲸鲨(Rhincodon typus)和鲸鱼(Cetacea)提供了保护,国际自然保护联盟认为鲸鲨和鲸鱼已受到威胁。现代宗教(如基督教和伊斯兰教)的作用以及具有不同价值观、信仰和文化的不同人群的涌入,解释了一些资源管理禁忌和信仰受到侵蚀的原因。这项研究的结果表明,必须正式承认这些非正式机构为合法机构,以便在地方一级有效管理刺网捕鱼者捕捞的濒危海洋物种。

Are targets really SMART-er? Challenging assumptions behind global environmental policy goals to realize ocean equity 目标真的更有 SMART 吗?挑战全球环境政策目标背后的假设,实现海洋公平

Unpacking the dynamics of policy mobility is critical to understanding what happens when global environmental policies are implemented, including why equity goals remain unmet. In this paper, we ‘follow the policy’ focusing on two policies with ocean equity goals, the Aichi Biodiversity Target for protected areas and the Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines. Through case studies of national-level implementation of these instruments in Mexico and Tanzania, we demonstrate how flexibility to determine implementation actions and indicators can benefit equity, in particular understudied recognitional and procedural dimensions of equity. Recently, the Convention on Biological Diversity negotiated new biodiversity targets for 2030. During this multi-year process, negotiators debated whether or not to include difficult-to-measure equity elements within the protected areas target, given the commitment to making all targets “SMART” (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound) as policymakers ‘doubled down on targets’ and the underlying metrological regime despite their failings. Based on our analysis, we outline alternative strategies to ‘double down on equity’ instead.

要了解全球环境政策在实施过程中会发生什么,包括为什么公平目标仍未实现,了解政策流动的动态至关重要。在本文中,我们 "跟踪政策",重点关注两项具有海洋公平目标的政策,即保护区爱知生物多样性目标和小型渔业准则。通过对墨西哥和坦桑尼亚在国家层面实施这些文书的案例研究,我们展示了确定实施行动和指标的灵活性如何有利于公平,特别是公平的认可和程序层面。最近,《生物多样性公约》就 2030 年新的生物多样性目标进行了谈判。在这一多年进程中,谈判者就是否在保护区目标中纳入难以衡量的公平要素展开了辩论,因为政策制定者 "加倍努力实现目标",并承诺所有目标都要 "SMART"(具体、可衡量、可实现、现实、有时限),尽管基本计量制度存在缺陷。根据我们的分析,我们概述了 "加倍注重公平 "的替代战略。

Local environmental stewardship supports resilience of social-ecological systems through a wide range of actions that benefit both environmental and human wellbeing. Stewardship actions of harvesters have been recognized as an important component in building adaptive capacity of coastal fisheries undergoing change. In Southeast Alaska, where commercial fishing plays a key role in cultures and economies, concerns for local fisheries have arisen from declines in salmon returns, high price variability, and barriers to participation, among other issues. Here, we aimed to understand existing and potential pathways for stewardship actions of small-boat commercial fishers in Juneau, Alaska. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 22 commercial fishers, agency staff, and leaders of seafood associations to document fisher-led stewardship actions and ways that small-boat commercial fishers engage formally and informally with local management, explore the role of fishery management agencies in facilitating collaboration and communication with fishers in the Juneau area, and understand local perspectives on how the stewardship capacities of the fishery system can be better supported. We found that multiple pathways for stewardship exist in commercial salmon and shellfish fisheries, including formal and informal interactions with state fishery management staff and decision-makers, participation in fishing associations and advocacy organizations, knowledge sharing among fishers, and taking personal conservation actions to care for fisheries. We identified areas of relatively low social, financial, and institutional capital that may limit the effectiveness of these stewardship actions. Our findings highlight diverse perspectives of fishery participants on how these stewardship actions might be better supported through policy, advocacy, and collaboration.

地方环境管理通过一系列有利于环境和人类福祉的行动,支持社会生态系统的恢复能力。人们已经认识到,捕捞者的管理行动是建设经历变化的沿海渔业适应能力的重要组成部分。在阿拉斯加东南部,商业捕鱼在文化和经济中扮演着重要角色,当地渔业因鲑鱼产量下降、价格变化大、参与障碍等问题而备受关注。在此,我们旨在了解阿拉斯加朱诺市小型商业渔船渔民现有和潜在的管理行动途径。我们对 22 名商业渔民、机构工作人员和海产品协会领导进行了半结构化访谈,以记录渔民主导的监管行动以及小船商业渔民正式和非正式参与当地管理的方式,探讨渔业管理机构在促进与朱诺地区渔民合作和沟通方面的作用,并了解当地对如何更好地支持渔业系统监管能力的看法。我们发现,商业鲑鱼和贝类渔业中存在多种管理途径,包括与州渔业管理工作人员和决策者的正式和非正式互动、参与渔业协会和宣传组织、渔民之间的知识共享以及采取个人保护行动保护渔业。我们发现,社会、金融和机构资本相对较低的领域可能会限制这些管理行动的有效性。我们的发现强调了渔业参与者对如何通过政策、宣传和合作更好地支持这些管理行动的不同观点。

Local fish markets play a crucial role in meeting local and regional demand for seafood. However, the underlying social and local processes determining price formation in these markets still need to be clarified. Through ethnographic research of an artisanal fishing community in central Chile focused on the common hake catching (Merluccius gayi gayi), we found that mutual observation and negotiation are the two key social processes of the local economic order. These processes produce two local structures: (a) the fishers’ maritime cliques in the sea and (b) the chain structure in the cove, which combines commercial and community relationships to determine market prices.

地方水产品市场在满足地方和区域海产品需求方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而,决定这些市场价格形成的基本社会和地方过程仍有待澄清。通过对智利中部一个手工捕鱼社区的人种学研究,我们发现,相互观察和协商是当地经济秩序的两个关键社会过程。这些过程产生了两种地方结构:(a) 海上的渔民小集团,(b) 海湾中的连锁结构,这种结构将商业关系和社区关系结合在一起,以决定市场价格。

Rediscovery of small-scale fisheries in the era of crises 在危机时代重新发现小型渔业
IF 3.4 Q3 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-04-03 DOI: 10.1007/s40152-024-00360-6

Abstract

This article analyses the role of small-scale fisheries in the era of crises that increase fisheries’ vulnerability. Crises may also trigger a reconsideration of the value of small-scale fisheries. Thus, our main research questions are twofold: 1) How do the recent crises directly affect small-scale fisheries? and 2) What are the opportunities for reinventing the societal and environmental benefits of small-scale fisheries? Answers to the research questions are based on a selection of interviews, email inquiry, research articles and reports in the context of Finnish small-scale fisheries. By focusing on these fisheries, operated in a Northern European welfare state, we study the potential that the new turbulent and uncertain circumstances could lead to acknowledgement of the multifunctional character of small-scale fisheries. The results show that climate change, Covid-19 pandemic and Russian invasion of Ukraine have challenged the resilience of Finnish small-scale fishing livelihood, albeit moderately. The prospects for new policies triggered by these crises stem from acknowledgement of small-scale fisheries’ contribution to food security, environmental benefits and short supply chains. The best way to secure fish-based food security and sustainability during crises, is to keep the fishing sector and the production and distribution chains vital in normal conditions. We conclude that in a society like Finland the rediscovery of small-scale fisheries’ future necessitates wide societal and political discussion about the pros and cons of the livelihood, together with inclusive governance that recognizes the multifunctional roles of small-scale fisheries in the era of crises.

摘要 本文分析了小型渔业在危机时代的作用,危机增加了渔业的脆弱性。危机也可能引发对小型渔业价值的重新思考。因此,我们的主要研究问题有两个方面:1)近期的危机如何直接影响小型渔业?对这些研究问题的回答是基于对芬兰小型渔业的访谈、电子邮件调查、研究文章和报告的选择。通过关注这些在北欧福利国家经营的渔业,我们研究了新的动荡和不确定环境可能导致对小型渔业多功能特性的认可。研究结果表明,气候变化、"Covid-19 "大流行病和俄罗斯入侵乌克兰对芬兰小型渔业生计的恢复能力提出了挑战,尽管程度不大。承认小型渔业对粮食安全、环境效益和短供应链的贡献,是这些危机引发的新政策的前景所在。在危机期间确保以鱼类为基础的粮食安全和可持续性的最佳途径,是在正常情况下保持渔业部门以及生产和销售链的活力。我们的结论是,在芬兰这样的社会中,要重新发现小型渔业的未来,就必须就这一生计的利弊进行广泛的社会和政治讨论,同时进行包容性治理,承认小型渔业在危机时代的多功能作用。

This paper discusses a case study located on the northern shore of the Gulf of Kutch in the western Indian state of Gujarat. Specifically the paper explores the major characteristics of small scale fisheries practiced by the Muslim Wagher community and investigate the challenges and dilemmas faced by them in their pursuit of a livelihood in fisheries. Wagher fishers have occupied the lowest rungs in local continuums of social and economic status historically. Their livelihoods and conditions of living have become particularly precarious since the early 2000s when the government of Gujarat embarked on an ambitious plan for port-based industrialisation and privatisation of vast tracts of wastelands, grasslands and coast line. Given this context, the paper focuses attention on the relations of exchange like market-tying informal credit contracts widely used by traders to consolidate their control over marketing processes and their impact on the lives and livelihoods of Wagher fishers. It is argued that the unfreedom that arises from the embeddedness of market transactions in social interactions constrains the ability of Wagher fishers to effectively resist ongoing processes of economic exploitation and coastal expropriation, or to advocate for their fair inclusion in social and economic development.

本文讨论了位于印度西部古吉拉特邦卡奇湾北岸的一个案例研究。本文特别探讨了穆斯林瓦格社区从事小规模渔业的主要特点,并调查了他们在追求渔业生计时所面临的挑战和困境。瓦格尔渔民历来处于当地社会和经济地位的最低层。21 世纪初,古吉拉特邦政府开始实施一项雄心勃勃的港口工业化计划,并将大片荒地、草地和海岸线私有化,自此以后,他们的生计和生活条件变得岌岌可危。在此背景下,本文重点关注贸易商为巩固其对营销过程的控制而广泛使用的市场绑定非正式信贷合同等交换关系及其对瓦格渔民生活和生计的影响。本文认为,市场交易嵌入社会互动所产生的不自由限制了瓦格河渔民有效抵制正在进行的经济剥削和海岸征用过程的能力,或倡导将其公平纳入社会和经济发展的能力。

Recentering the commons: assessing citizen mapping as an environmental practice 重新定位公域:将公民制图作为一种环境实践进行评估
IF 3.4 Q3 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-03-13 DOI: 10.1007/s40152-024-00353-5

The last three decades have seen waves of coastal development paradigms, the most recent being that of ‘blue economy’ and ‘blue growth’ — terms used in conjunction with sustainable development. The blue economy paradigm has its share of discontents across Indian Ocean nations who resist further commodification of coastal spaces and its perverse outcomes in the garb of sustainability. Community-based conservation, citizen mapping of traditional tenure arrangements over coastal commons are emerging counter-strategies in India, to prevent land alienation, and coastal and oceanic ‘grab’. The paper does a reflexive assessment of a case of citizen mapping of coastal commons as a legal pluralistic conservation engagement from India. It examines the effectiveness of such localised collaborative civil society exercises against systemic shifts in coastal protection regimes.

在过去的三十年里,沿海发展范式层出不穷,最近的范式是 "蓝色经济 "和 "蓝色增长"--与可持续发展并用的术语。蓝色经济范式在印度洋各国都有一些不满者,他们抵制进一步将沿海地区商品化,抵制在可持续发展的外衣下产生的不良后果。在印度,以社区为基础的保护、公民对沿海公域传统使用权安排的测绘是新兴的反策略,以防止土地异化以及沿海和海洋 "被攫取"。本文对印度公民绘制沿海公地地图的案例进行了反思性评估,认为这是一种法律多元化的保护参与方式。论文探讨了民间社会针对沿海保护制度的系统性转变所开展的本地化合作活动的有效性。报告详细介绍了此类公民绘图活动所产生的有益做法和知识,并为公民社会行动者提供了反思性见解。论文还批判性地探讨了民间社会在固定的海岸治理框架下所做努力的局限性。本文认为,印度海岸管理法的内在缺陷激励并限制了民间社会为实现海岸管理民主化所做的努力。地方行动者的能力和社会地位本身进一步限制了法律选择的效用,使得新自由主义环境治理下的公地异化司空见惯。

Advancing ocean ecosystem conservation via property rights, rather than marine protected areas (MPAs) 通过产权而非海洋保护区(MPAs)推进海洋生态系统保护

There is demand to protect at-risk fish species and ecosystems. Property rights regimes can be superior to spatial controls via Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) for doing so. Empirical cases from Australia and the US indicate that MPAs are inequitable, too large and restrictive, and controversial. These conditions lead to resistance and political pushback, threatening long-term budgets and conservation goals. A critique of MPAs is presented along with a range of property rights arrangements–common, community, private—and Coasean bargaining as alternatives. Outlined benefits are a.) Rights holders have a stake in conservation and are central in its design. They are more than respondents. b). Costs/benefits can be more equally distributed, including direct payments that include both costs of transition and contribution to public goods provision. c.) Spatial set-asides confront tradeoffs and hence, are more apt to be economically sited and designed. d.) Modifications can occur more smoothly through market exchange than through the political process. Durable global conservation efforts can be enhanced.

人们需要保护濒危鱼类物种和生态系统。在这方面,产权制度可能优于通过海洋保护区(MPAs)进行的空间控制。澳大利亚和美国的经验案例表明,海洋保护区不公平、面积过大、限制性过强,而且存在争议。这些情况导致了抵制和政治反弹,威胁到长期预算和保护目标。本文对海洋保护区进行了批判,并提出了一系列产权安排--共同产权、社区产权、私有产权--以及科斯讨价还价法作为替代方案。概述的益处有 a) 权利持有人与保护工作息息相关,是保护设计的核心。他们不仅仅是回应者。)成本/收益可以更平等地分配,包括直接付款,其中包括过渡成本和对提供公共产品的贡献。 c) 空间预留面临权衡,因此更有可能以经济的方式选址和设计。)与政治程序相比,通过市场交换可以更顺利地进行修改。可以加强持久的全球保护工作。

In 2001, one of the first initiatives in Galapagos promoting the sustainable use of marine resources with the participation of women in the fisheries sector was launched. This case study tells the story of Pescado Azul (‘Blue Fish’ in Spanish), an association formed by a group of women, mostly wives of fishers, from Isabela Island, Galapagos Archipelago. Pescado Azul was created as a development-focused intervention to market processed products such as smoked fish, croquettes and albacore pate from local small-scale, artisanal fisheries. This study illustrates the origin, development and management of the initiative within Isabela´s context, explores its achievements and limitations. Some of the lessons learned and pitfalls by individual members of the association and institutional actors linked to the initiative are presented and analysed. Main findings show four as key reasons for the discontinuity of Pescado Azul after some years of success: a) the different visions that were the driving forces of the initiative by both the members and supporting institutions, b) the potential negative consequences of an inadequate planning of welfare actions, c) the importance of promoting initiatives with bottom-up rather than top-down approaches, and d) the gender-based strategies, which were not adequately developed at the time the project was implemented. Our findings contribute to better understand gender-focused interventions within small-scale fisheries as a way to illustrate strengths and threats to these types of initiatives, including the need for improvement in the planning and execution of similar development projects in Galapagos or in other places with similar social contexts.

2001 年,加拉帕戈斯启动了首批促进海洋资源可持续利用的倡议之一,妇女参与了渔业部门。本案例研究讲述了 Pescado Azul(西班牙语 "蓝鱼")的故事,这是一个由加拉帕戈斯群岛伊莎贝拉岛的一群妇女(大多是渔民的妻子)组成的协会。Pescado Azul 的创立是一项以发展为重点的干预措施,旨在销售来自当地小型手工渔业的加工产品,如熏鱼、炸丸子和长鳍鱼肉酱。本研究阐述了该倡议在伊莎贝拉背景下的起源、发展和管理,探讨了其成就和局限性。还介绍并分析了协会成员个人以及与该倡议相关的机构参与者所吸取的一些经验教训和存在的缺陷。主要研究结果表明,"蓝色澎湖 "项目在取得成功数年后中断的主要原因有四:a) 成员和支持机构对推动该项目发展的愿景不同;b) 福利行动规划不足可能带来的负面影响;c) 以自下而上而非自上而下的方式推动项目发展的重要性;d) 基于性别的战略在项目实施时没有得到充分发展。我们的研究结果有助于更好地理解小型渔业中以性别为重点的干预措施,以此来说明这类措施的优势和威胁,包括在加拉帕戈斯或其他具有类似社会背景的地方规划和实施类似发展项目时需要改进的地方。
