Small-Scale Artisanal Fishers and Socio-environmental Conflicts in Estuarine and Coastal Wetlands

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Bahía Blanca Estuary

Abstract

This chapter aims to build different ways of thinking the marine and estuarine spaces from an ontological perspective. Due to the extractive activities (i.e., petrochemical activities, large and industrial fisheries, among others) that often occur in coastal and estuarine systems, small-scale artisanal fishers are among the most damaged and vulnerable collective. We propose that the Bahía Blanca Estuary is a sacrificial territory and there are three territorial moments that could help us to explain the environmental conflicts that arise in this coastal area. These conflicts involve three different territorial moments: the ria, the port-petrochemical complex, and the protected areas. Each of them has different actors with different conservation paradigms that tend to clash, making difficult to achieve consensual management goals for this complex ecosystem. Finally, we suggest to rethink the actual management and conservation strategies that seem to have failed in conceiving locals’ livelihoods and their knowledge. Specifically, we aim to build bridges in knowledge with small-scale artisanal fishers, toward the implementation of dialogic strategies.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Descola (2005) studied indigenous societies (jíbaros) in the Amazonas describing their relationships with nature and was able to identify different forms of inhabitants in the world: human and nonhuman beings. In a reductionist and vague explanation, nonhuman beings are rocks, plants, animals, and spirits, and humans are also able to establish a relationship or a way to socialize with them. Thus, the relations are not only conceived as human-human like the occidental world perceives but also as humans-nonhumans. This was also observed in other local communities, such as fishers and hunters by Pálsson (2003).

  2. 2.

    Small-scale artisanal fishers of the Bahía Blanca Estuary are fully described in the following point 18.2.2.
