This paper documents a changing CPR management institution and the reactions of the local fishing society to those changes. The paper starts with a description of the Padu system as it operates at Pulicat lake, and its dual role in conflict reduction and sustainable fishing practice. The Padu system at Pulicat lake is caste and gear specific, and historically, Padu has included only the traditional fishing caste `Pattinaver' communities. The third part of the paper illustrates how the Padu system is changing. Changes in state fisheries policies and global markets for prawn export, have affected both fishing behaviour, and the breakdown of caste specificity as a determinant to accessing superior fishing grounds. The fourth part of this paper discusses how people are responding to the increasing instability of the Padu system, and the different reactions shown by traditional and non traditional fishers. The paper concludes with some thoughts for management, and a discussion on the future outlook for the Padu system.
