Abstract

This paper is about the efforts being made by communities of coastal fisherfolk in South India to build artificial reefs as a means of rejuvenating the ecosystem of their coastal waters damaged by indiscriminate trawling.This paper adds to the evidence that collective action by the laboring massess in the developing world--peasants,fisherfolk and forest dwellers to mention a few-to revive and rejuvenate their common pool resources calls to question the undiscriminating policy prescriptions which continue to see only"market or state"interventions to solve issues relating to environmental degradation.
