“…Spatial analysis to understand effort by artisanal fishing is limited (see however [ 71 – 74 ]) but takes on new urgency as fishers adopt more effective fishing gear such as FADs. High quality information concerning how fishers use fish aggregating devices is important for setting policy and management goals with regard to fish aggregating devices and their impact on fisheries in the Caribbean and other regions [ 10 , 75 , 76 ].…”

Using a Partial Sum Method and GPS Tracking Data to Identify Area Restricted Search by Artisanal Fishers at Moored Fish Aggregating Devices in the Commonwealth of Dominica

Foragers must often travel from a central place to exploit aggregations of prey. These patches can be identified behaviorally when a forager shifts from travel to area restricted search, identified by a decrease in speed and an increase in sinuosity of movement. Faster, more directed movement is associated with travel. Differentiating foraging behavior at patches from travel to patches is important for a variety of research questions and has now been made easier by the advent of small, GPS devices that can track forager movement with high resolution. In the summer and fall of 2012, movement data were collected from GPS devices placed on foraging trips originating in the artisanal fishing village of Desa Ikan (pseudonym), on the east coast of the Caribbean island nation of the Commonwealth Dominica. Moored FADs are human-made structures anchored to the ocean floor with fish attraction material on or near the surface designed to effectively create a resource patch. The ultimate goal of the research is to understand how property rights are emerging after the introduction of fish aggregating device (FAD) technology at the site in 1999. This paper reports on research to identify area-restricted search foraging behavior at FAD patches. For 22 foraging trips simultaneous behavioral observations were made to ground-truth the GPS movement data. Using a cumulative sum method, area restricted search was identified as negative deviations from the mean travel speed and the method was able to correctly identify FAD patches in every case.

“…This research uses the desk study method. Research Desk is commonly referred to as secondary research; it refers to research where no such original data is collected but uses the existing source of data instead [15].

Tuna Fisheries Sustainable Management: Assessing of Indonesia Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) Fisheries

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper aims to describe the Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) fisheries in Indonesia and its relation to sustainable fisheries management. On tuna fishing, FADs are widely used as a tool to attract fish. FADs uncontrolled development is feared to have an impact on the sustainability of fish resources. We found that most of the fish caught around FADs are still juvenile. Deployment FADs can also interfere with the swimming pattern of tuna resources. This is negatively affecting the sustainability of tuna resources. However, from the social and economic aspects, FADs provide significant benefits for fishing communities. The Government has imposed regulations on FADs but not yet implemented. The objective of SDG's in the management of tuna fisheries associated with FADs can be implemented through the application of RFMO regulations. Findings from this paper can be used for policy recommendations for the management of sustainable FADsfisheries. , 0 (2018) E3S Web of Conferences

“…The definition of spatial boundaries through this process then enables specific actors to assert control over a geographic area, including flows of people, activities and nature itself (Sack 1986). Though the territorialisation of nature conservation requires keeping people and nature in place within defined spatial boundaries (Lowe 2003), protected areas can be also considered as fluid spaces shaped by the intersection of different types of socio-material mobilities (see Lund and Jóhannesson 2014;Bush and Mol 2015). By socio-material mobilities, we are not merely referring to the movement of people, materials, species and information in an already taken for granted physical space.…”

Governing nature-based tourism mobility in National Park Torres del Paine, Chilean Southern Patagonia

Nature-based tourism is a mobile activity shaped by the capacity of tourists for displacement and the socio-material infrastructure allowing flows. However, the literature has scarcely addressed aspects of mobility in governing nature-based tourism. Taking the case of the National Park Torres del Paine we explore three aspects of mobility in nature-based tourism using the concepts of routes, frictions, and rhythms. Our findings show that the movement of tourists challenges spatially bounded forms of governance. Instead, we argue, new mobility-sensitive forms of nature-based tourism governance are needed that can complement the use of fixed-boundary conservation enclosures.
