Experienced a culture extremely different from my own through home-stays and Independent Study Projects. Gained perspective and identified assumptions made in the US relating to daily resource needs and the systems that dissociate us from the consequences of this consumption.

Artisanal Fisheries Management in Southern Unguja

Management strategies are difficult to implement in Zanzibar’s fisheries because the local people depend upon these resources for basic subsistence. This difficulty epitomizes the vital need for sustainable management: the more people need a fishery, the harder it is to limit fishing to allow regeneration. Comparing fisheries management strategies in two coastal villages in Unguja (largest island of Zanzibar), Tanzania, this paper confirms the results of existing scholarship that…
Management strategies are difficult to implement in Zanzibar’s fisheries because the local people depend upon these resources for basic subsistence. This difficulty epitomizes the vital need for sustainable management: the more people need a fishery, the harder it is to limit fishing to allow regeneration. Comparing fisheries management strategies in two coastal villages in Unguja (largest island of Zanzibar), Tanzania, this paper confirms the results of existing scholarship that community-based strategies provide the most promising solutions to this challenge. Interviews with officials from the Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Village Fishermen Committees, and fifty-one fishermen in the villages of Kizimkazi Dimbani and Jambiani reveal the efficacy of strategies where local fishermen are centrally involved. The fishermen interviews reveal ignorance of existing fishing regulations and a lack of enforcement while fishermen at both sites noted that many illegal methods of fishing are still in use and expressed concern that such methods damage fish stocks. The Village Fishermen Committees, a recently implemented community-based initiative, are well attended by fishermen, and constitute a management strength that this paper concludes should be the foundation of future policy. These Committees need additional educational and financial resources.
