Abstract

Rumours of the destroyed huts were rife in the air as the businessmen hustled all morning, frantic to negotiate and strike a deal with village leaders in an attempt to stop the upsurge of violent protest against the jellyfish industry. Some villagers were angry, some were pleased; all were talking about the ‘jellyfish men’ and, in the background, a lady complained bitterly that despite yielding an ample prawn catch that morning, nobody was interested.
