change in harmony is related to a low level of formal education (Table 16.22). Education,
however, does not explain the inter-village differences. Fishers who believe sasi is important
are more positive about the change in community harmony. The main difference between
Seri and Nolloth is in their opinion on sasi and, of course, in the very existence of the sasi
institution. These results support the conclusion of the larger performance analysis, that
harmony is greater in sasi villages.
Currently, Seri has the highest occurrence of conflicts and Nolloth the least. The present
occurrence of conflicts in Hulaliu and Haruku is linked to political instability and the
legitimacy of authority. In Seri, the drinking habits of the younger generation were mentioned
as the main cause for conflicts. In Haruku, and especially in Seri and Hutumuri, nearly all
respondents made comments on alcohol abuse. In the other villages, this was less of a problem
and in Nolloth, it was hardly ever mentioned. Nolloth fishers are also most positive about the
future. They expect no changes, while all other villages expect a further decline.
