Abstract

“There are too many people chasing too few fish” is the often-repeated description of coastal fisheries in the Southeast Asian region. And indeed, even during a short visit to the coastlines of the region, we are confronted with numerous issues and problems that appear to stem from the over-exploitation of coastal aquatic resources. Everywhere in the region, fishermen are struggling to cope with decreasing catches and the consequences of deteriorating coastal ecosystems. And while both the quantity and the quality of catches are decreasing, the number of fishermen apparently continues to grow, as fishing is widely seen as an opportunity to provide employment and income, or at least some basic element of the daily dietary needs. Fishers’ common reaction to the mounting problems they face is to increase their effort to catch fish.
