Ihamahu |
Sasi rules prohibit harvest of corals, sea cucumbers, top
shells and giant clams in the territory. Small mesh karolo
nets, poison and blast fishing, bubus and other traps
prohibited. Catch of schooling pelagic fish on the
sea grass bed is regulated: season open 1-2 x a year.
Mangroves protected. No taking sand or stones without
permit. No littering on the shore. Written sasi rules.
Patrolled by kewang with help from fishers. Sanctions by
kewang unless it is a police matter (destructive gears or
mangrove rules). |
Ban on catching ornamental fish (?). |
Territory in two parts: Tuhaha Bay and
eastern shore. No sasi signs in the
sea because area is known. Thefts of
top shells from eastern shore area by
outsiders is a problem. Both land
and sea kewang under one hereditary
kepala kewang. Village in process of
strengthening sasi. Sasi fish catches used
to support community celebrations.
Adat ceremonies supported by prayer.
Perceptions of fishers' role in decision-
making are varied. Compliance seen
as high. |

Siri sori |
Sasi area auctioned by village government for harvest of
top shells and sea cucumbers. Harvest rights currently
held by government research institute (LIPI). Season
opened every one or two years. Income shared by
mosque (5%), kewang (10%) and village government (85%)
Written sasi rules. Sanctions applied by kewang. Kewang
members selected from each RT. |
LKMD has developed fisheries rules.
Blast fishing prohibited. |
Control over access seen as strong
and stable; fishers cooperate
with kewang. Perception among fishers
is that they have increasing role
in decision-making. |

Itawaka |
Sasi on entire territory. Harvest rights auctioned to
locals for all species including top shells, sea cucum-
bers and japing-japing (shellfish). Season opens every
one or two years, as agreed by kewang and kepala desa.
Size of top shells harvested must exceed 8 cm. Kewang
has 30 members and is official village government body
as of 1995. Villagers help patrol the sasi area. No diving
permitted in sasi area. No net fishing by outsiders. No
removal or sale of ornamental fish. Rules are written
down. Sanctions from kewang include fines and
hard labor. |
LKMD has recently developed fisheries
rules. Blast fishing and use
of poisons prohibited. |
In past (1970s), Butonese, Makassars and
people from Tuhaha purchased access
rights but this has been prohibited since
1980 in the belief that locals would
take better care of the resource and
also to keep profits in the village.
Perceptions mixed regarding
participation in decision-making.
Sasi products marketed in Saparua.
Sasi ceremony includes prayers. |

Paperu |
In theory, there is sasi on sea cucumbers in a small
sasi area but recently this has not been enforced.
Rules are written down. Kewang not functional. |
LKMD in 1996 drafted new village
fisheries rules modeled on old
sasi rules. Still called sasi. Blast
fishing and use of poisons prohibited.
Net fishing by outsiders requires permit.
Villagers report infractions; sanctions by
LKMD. |
Perception of fishers' role in decision-
making is mixed; depends on the
person'sstatus. Village cooperative may
have role as intermediary. |
