who are in favor of bending rules have a more positive perception of the equity in the distribution
of gears as do fishers who say that in their village, decision-making is by the majority.

Currently, the distribution is significantly fairer in Seri than in the other villages and they

of the lift net and seiner baitfishery and associated infrastructure. Larger numbers of modern
