Abstract

Surtini Paputungan is a 40-year-old cookie-and-fishseller living in Buyat, a small village at the Buyat Bay, in a remote region of Indonesia. From Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, it takes four hours by plane and then around three hours by bus to get there. Surtini is married and has four children. She is poor, like other villagers in her community. Her family’s life depends on a small boat without motor, simple fish hooks and a net. Such tools can only be used for short-distance fishing, when the sea is calm, during October to February.
