Abstract

One of the suggestions made to protect the livelihoods of small-scale fishermen throughout the world is the installation of special artisanal fishing zones. Such zones would make inshore fishing areas off-limit to industrial fishermen and, correspondingly, reserve them for small-scale operators. The experiences of Tamil Nadu’s zoning from the 1970s onward point out potential hazards as well as conditions necessary for the success of such arrangements.
