Control over the fishery

Control of fishers over access to the fishery compared to 15 years ago increased significantly
in Nolloth and Haruku, whilst in other villages it remained static (Table 16.19). In the past,
the degree of control over the fishery was comparable for all villages. In Haruku and Nolloth,
where fishers felt the increase in the control over resources, the kewang is controlling the
resource. There was no significant difference amongst the villages.

Perceptions on control over access were related to gear type in that fishers with more expensive
gears were more positive (Table 16.17). Fishers in villages having communal fishing activities
are also more positive, whereas fishers seeking change in fisheries rules have more negative
