This paper explores the conflict between two ethnic groups in a fishery: Migrant fishermen that have settled on the shores of Lake Victoria; and resident Sukuma people. In Tanzania, changes have been made to the formal managerial structure of Lake Victoria's fisheries which have introduced so-called Beach Management Units (BMUs) to most fishing communities around Tanzania's sector of the lake. These have been seen as a way of delegating some responsibilities for the management of the resource base to communities. The BMU strategy of fisheries regulations expects fishing communities to enforce government fisheries regulations. As such, there is no community involvement in the design nor implementation of the regulations with which their BMUs are charged with enforcing. It is this external intervention that has opened up old wounds in the competing claims over the resource base.
