Non-sas/ fisheries rules |
Notes |
ÏÔ Porto |
Harvest rights in sasi area sold for top shells, sea cucumbers, giant clams, bia piling (shellfish) and batu laga. Locals harvest the sasi area but outsiders may share the harvest with written permission of the kewang and kepala desa. Hand line fishing is always allowed. Sasi rules are written down. Kewang has 40 members, for both land and sea. Sasi signs are set up on the beach. Sanctions by kewang. |
There is an effort being made to reinforce sasi rules with formal village regulations. Blast fishing and use of poisons prohibited. Bagans from Haria that fish in the territory must have permission and pay a fee. |
Proceeds of resource rental divided between village government and kewang. Drop in clove price forced many people to intensify fishing effort and sasi broke down. Theft of top shells is a problem. |
