Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Fishing is ubiquitous to spaces where human beings settle near an aquatic environment. Fisheries conflicts are highly diverse and complex arising at different levels of human interactions and in different forms. At a basic level, conflicts in fisheries can be classified according to their severity, longevity and the kind of parties involved. Conflicts involving fisheries can be violent (i.e., wars) and non-violent (i.e. street protests), span for a few years or over generations, and range from regional or transnational conflicts such as the current disputes in the South China Sea, international conflicts like the “cod wars” between Iceland and the United Kingdom, intrastate conflicts like clashes between fishers belonging to different fleets in the Philippines, and inter-personal, concerning for example one fisher and her intermediary. Research on fisheries conflicts has been criticized for its reliance and focus on simplistic approaches in which the (putative) scarcity of fisheries resources is the dominant factor. Such analyses are frequently driven by visions of fishers as “rational economic men,” a perspective that has repeatedly been proven false in fisheries social science. In this paper we adopt an alternative approach to fisheries conflicts, drawing on Bulton´s theory of Basic Human Needs. This theory rests on the premise that conflicts arise when people are denied one or more universal human needs, including needs for recognition and security. We use quantitative and qualitative empirical research with Swedish coastal fishers to demonstrate the utility of this theory in understanding coastal fisheries conflicts.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Fisheries’ supply of ecosystem services depends on recruiting, maintaining and—in cases of overfishing—preventing fishers’ participation. Participation is influenced by fishers’ levels of job satisfaction and a variety of motivations that cannot be reduced to income size. Previous research on fishers’ job satisfaction has applied Maslow’s hierarchy of basic, socio-psychological and self-actualization needs. Using these as three categories of co-existing rather than hierarchical needs, we investigate Swedish fishers’ motivations for considering fisheries exit. Our results suggest that more than half of fishers are considering exiting and that they identify conflicts with seals (31%), environmental policies (17%) and performance of government agencies (16%) as their main reasons. These motivations, we argue, impact simultaneously basic, socio-psychological and self-actualization needs. Accordingly, fishers’ motivations for participation-exit decisions are not solely, and may not be primarily, monetary. A better understanding of fishers’ motivations, particularly non-monetary ones, would improve fisheries management.

Röster från svenskt yrkesfiske: Rapport om uppföljningsintervjuer
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna rapport redovisar återkommande mönster från 24 intervjuer med svenska yrkesfiskare genomförda 2020. Yrkesfiskarna intervjuades i samband med det Formas-finansierade forskningsprojektet ”Att fiska efter lösningar: samhällsekonomi och hållbar kustutveckling i Sverige.” Syftet med intervjuerna var att skapa en djupare och mer detaljerad bild av de förutsättningar och utmaningar som svenskt yrkesfiske står inför. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer ville vi följa upp en enkät rörande yrkesfisket, som vi skickade ut under juni 2019 och sammanställde i rapporten ”Hur mår den svenska yrkesfiskaren? En enkätundersökning om fiskelicensinnehavare, 2019” (http://hdl.handle.net/2077/64062). Utöver fördjupande frågor i relation till enkätstudiens resultat inkluderade intervjuerna frågor inspirerade av den samhällsvetenskapliga litteraturen om yrkesfiskare i Europa och Nordamerika, för att se hur fisket i Sverige skiljer sig från, eller liknar, fiske på andra platser som präglas av liknande utmaningar.
