Stamatopoulos 74 L Ope ng of theIL eeting Following a recommendation of the Twelfth session of CECAF (Accra, Ghana April- May 1992) a special Working Group on Artisanal Fisheries Statistics for the Western Gulf of Guinea, Nigeria and Cameroon was held in Cotonou, Benin, jointly by the FAO Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic (CECAF) and the programme for the Integrated Development of Artisanal Fisheries (IDAF) from 3 to 7 May 1993. Experts from Benin, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and FAO participated (Annex 1). In his introductory remarks, Dr. B.P. Satia, Coordinator of IDAF welcomed the participants and stressed the need for the Working Group to suggest ways and means of improving the data collection systems in the subregion to enhance the development of the sub-sector. Adoption of the agenda The Agenda for the meeting which appears as Annex 2 was adopted. Documents presented to the Working Group are listed in Annex 3. Ms Amélie Gbaguidi-Aziable (Benin) and M.O. Okpanefe (Nigeria) were unanimously chosen as chairpersons. Mr. C. Stamatopoulos of FAO was the resource person for the Working Group. Mr. K.A. Koranteng (Ghana) and Ms. H. Stokholm (IDAF Programme) were chosen as raporteurs assisted by Mr M. Ansa-Emmim (FAO). General discussion or. statisticaul sureys with specific iiefenrnce to fishing effort and associated basic data The Working Group noted that expertise in methodology and operation of fisheries surveys existed in several African countries due to technical assistance programmes (CECAF and national projects) and intensive training received locally and abroad. A major problem facing all fisheries statistical programmes, established with external funding, is the sustainability of data collection after a project has ended. This problem he noted, is particularly acute in African countries where some governments have had difficulties to continue with such programmes. In the life of the projects sufficient funding was made available to supply all needs and to pay salaries and unless the recipient government in continuing to provide regular funds to meet these needs, the system immediately broke down when the project functionally ceased. In some cases the projects established systems that were too complex to maintain when external funding ceased, or when foreign experts were withdrawn. Another cause was that sometimes inadequate training was given to national experts to be able to continue the programme. Often, provisions were not made for a smooth IDAF Technical Report N° 49 transition and running of the programme. For example national experts were often not sufficiently involved in the management of the project and programmes. Experiences gained in this area in Nigeria and Benin were presented. In Nigeria,a statistical and economic data collection system was put in place about 10 years ago through an externally funded project. Good results were obtained but after the end of the project, the system collapsed mainly because of lack of funds to retain field staff or to maintain vehicles and equipment. Consequently the institution that took over the programme was forced to drastically reduce the operation. In the case of Benin, the Working Group noted that staff was not the problem but that of lack of materials and funds to continue data collection after the operational phase of the proj ects. In the discussion that followed, it became evident that several governments do not give fisheries statistics the priority it deserves and therefore do not see the need to finance fisheries data collection from national budgets. Some participants were of the opinion that before a project ended, recommendations could be made on minimum levels at which data collection systems could be operated and still be able to produce statistically valuable results when the project functionally come toan end. Furthermore, in many countries Fisheries is only a Department or Division within the Ministry of Agriculture and sometimes does not receive the attention that it deserves. Participants felt that the creation of possibly imperfect but robust self-sustaining systems would offer more advantages than the introduction of complex systems that could not be sustained. The Working Group finally stressed the necessity for governments to endeavour to support data collection programmes. It noted the efforts made in the past and difficulties faced by governments in the subregion in implementing structural adjustment programmes, but underscored the need to accord priority to statistical data collection. In view of these difficulties the Working Group recommended that all future fisheries development projects or programmes should have as part of its immediate objectives the improvement of fishery information systems. 40 Defition, level if detail 0id psi se in tIeastuing fishing effort The Working Group was informed of basic estimation process by means of which total catch is estimated. The process involves determining the Catch Per Unit of Effort (CPUE) (from sample data) and then multiplying it by the effort (obtained through a census). A clear distinction was made between the weighted CPUE, a magnitude resulting from dividing total sampled catch by total sample effort and mean catch rate, which is the arithmetic mean of individual CPUEs associated with fishing units. Several numerical examples were presented and discussion focused on: measuring fishing effort in standard units by gear type, variability in CPUE and effort and, application of the approach of weighted averages in other cases such as prices and unit values of fish production. 2 IDAF Technical Report N° 49 5. Cwnnt status of national fishery statistical sweys Mr K.A. Koranteng presented the results of his mission which was aimed at examining the systems for statistical data collection on artisanal fisheries in the four countries of the Western Gulf of Guinea, Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Togo. The report is given in Annex 4. After the presentation, the Working Group commended Mr Koranteng for the work undertaken. National reports for Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Benin and Nigeria were also presented. The participant from Benin complemented the information already in Mr Koranteng's report. She noted that since 1991, the total landings have reduced. For example it was only 6,800 mt in 1991 as against the previous average landings of 8,000-9,000 mt. This was partly due to the fact that the fishermen had abandoned fishing and using their canoes for non fishery activities which they find to be more profitable business than fishing. On catch assessment at the port of Cotonou, she noted that the sampling system recommended by CECAF is used except that canoes for examination are not selected in accordance with any pre-determined order. Recorders are instructed to sample five canoes per fishing gear with 50% of the sample to be taken from canoes with high catches and the other 50% from those with low catches.

Iceland, promoted by some as a successful international model of this approach, has been the site – for nearly thirty years – of fierce debate and controversy regarding the system’s effects on regional development, social justice and wealth disparity.

  • Imagining the Fishing: Artists and Fishermen in Late Nineteenth Century Cornwall1
    Rural History (2001) 12, 2, 159-178. © 2001 Cambridge University Press 159 Printed in the United Kingdom Imagining the Fishing: Artists and Fishermen in Late Nineteenth Century Cornwall1 BERNARD DEACON Department of Lifelong Learning, University of Exeter, Exeter, UK. Abstract The focus of postmodernist historians on language and representation clashes with the more traditional approach of the social historian to material structures and processes. This article adopts the suggestion of Wahrman that a 'space of possibilities' exists where these apparently competing perspectives might be connected. The concept of a 'space of possibilities' is pursued through a case study of a marginal group, the fishing communities of west Cornwall in the late nineteenth century. The article explores points of contact and contrast between the artistic and the fishing communities, between the painterly gaze and the subjects of that gaze. It is proposed that, while the artistic colonies and their representations might be explained as a result of discourses reproduced in the centre, their specific choice of location in Cornwall can also be related to the local economic and social history that granted them a space of possibilities. Researchers in the social and human sciences have increasingly looked towards the 'margins' over the past two decades. The 'othering' of people and places in the margins and the deconstruction of that 'othering' has been explored with a growing fascination.2 This interest in the 'margins' has been vigorously fanned by the winds of

Introduction Challenges in marine cultural heritage settings Looking at UNESCO’s definition, “Heritage is the legacy that we receive from the past, that we experience in the present and that we will pass on to future generations.” However, cultural heritage is not limited to monuments and collections of objects. It also includes lived expressions inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants. These include oral traditions, performing arts, social manners, rituals, celebrations, practices and knowledge and techniques related to traditional handcrafts. Despite its fragility, intangible cultural heritage or living heritage is an important factor in maintaining cultural diversity. Cultural heritage provides a sense of place, unity, and belonging. Rooted upon history in specific landscapes, seascapes, buildings, stories, traditions, language, and cultural practices. One can add that cultural heritage is a fundamental part of every society. It connects people to each other and to the past and helps guide the future.

  • Transmissions of Knowledge in Cornish Fishing Villages
    LIVELIHOODS, CRAFT AND HERITAGE: Transmissions of Knowledge in Cornish Fishing Villages Tim Martindale Thesis submitted to the Department of Anthropology of Goldsmiths, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, October 2012. Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of Goldsmiths, University of London, is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 2 Abstract In response to a sense of ‘crisis’ in global fisheries, contemporary policies and social science accounts have tended to approach fishery ‘problems’ in terms of models derived from biology and resource-economics. Through a study of the fishing industry in Cornwall, UK, this thesis contributes an alternative perspective – examining how knowledges and meanings attached to the work of fishing are reproduced in the context of wider social relations and economies. Processes of European rural re-structuring, increasing costs and restricted access, have recently exacerbated more long-term trends of decline in Cornish fisheries. However social change and new media for knowledge transmission also contribute to the remaking and reinvention of fishing livelihoods and ideologies.

Its production has however never met up with demand resulting in high market cost and the fishery subsector's inability to significantly improve the nutritional standard of the diet of the average Nigerian. Federal and State Governments concur that a modernization of the means of production through technological improvement and concomitant change in fishing location and attitude of the artisanal fishermen were solutions to the problem. These efforts have not improved the situation. It is against this backdrop that this study aimed generally at analysing the constraints to the transfer of technology and productivity of artisanal fishermen users and non-users of Yamaha 25 Horse power outboard engine in three Nigerian coastal States was carried out.
