Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is an historical study of small-scale fisheries in
Okinawa's rich and diverse inshore environment. The warm northward flowing Kuroshio Current
supports an extensive system of coral reefs off of Okinawa's West Coast, which is home to
many fish species. The authors examine the changes over time in ecology, regulations,
markets, technology, and sea tenure. Since Japan's annexation of Okinawa in 1879, the
fisheries have been tightly regulated and the authors focus on the key regulatory
institutions, the Fisheries Co-operative Associations (FCA). On the plus side the localized
FCAs permit micro-adjustments to change, on the downside, they preclude any regional
fisheries policy, which could regulate the potentially adverse impact of one FCA policy on
another.
