Abstract

Fair Trade USA Capture Fisheries Standard (CFS) requires small-scale fishers to be organized in groups before getting certified against its voluntary sustainability standard. This raises questions about what groups (can) do to enable individual fishers to participate in and benefit from certification. This study uses a capabilities framework to understand this dynamic. We use a case study of handline tuna fishery in Maluku, Indonesia. Three clusters of groups are included: the groups in Buru Island that have been certified by Fair Trade USA Capture Fisheries Standard and Marine Stewardship Council, the groups in Seram Island that have been certified by Fair Trade USA, and the groups in Buru and Seram Islands that have been excluded from Fair Trade USA certification. The results show how group capabilities play an essential role in group and individual fisher certification. We conclude that there is a need to support group certification as a mechanism to govern sustainability in small-scale fisheries. To achieve group certification policy interventions beyond the certification stakeholders are needed to provide conditions supportive for group capabilities.

了解印度尼西亚小型金枪鱼渔业认证的团体能力
美国公平贸易捕捞渔业标准(CFS)要求小规模渔民在根据其自愿可持续性标准获得认证前必须组织起来。这就提出了一个问题,即团体(能)做什么来帮助个体渔民参与认证并从中受益。本研究采用能力框架来了解这一动态。我们以印度尼西亚马鲁古的金枪鱼手钓渔业为例进行研究。研究对象包括三个群体:已通过美国公平贸易捕捞渔业标准和海洋管理委员会认证的布鲁岛群体、已通过美国公平贸易认证的塞拉姆岛群体,以及被排除在美国公平贸易认证之外的布鲁岛和塞拉姆岛群体。研究结果表明,群体能力在群体和个体渔民认证中发挥着至关重要的作用。我们的结论是,有必要支持团体认证,将其作为管理小型渔业可持续性的机制。为了实现团体认证,需要在认证利益相关者之外进行政策干预,为团体能力提供支持条件。

期刊介绍: Maritime Studies is an international peer-reviewed journal on the social dimensions of coastal and marine issues throughout the world. The journal is a venue for theoretical and empirical research relevant to a wide range of academic social science disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, geography, history and political science. Space is especially given to develop academic concepts and debate. We invite original research papers, reviews and viewpoints and welcome proposals for special issues that make a distinctive contribution to contemporary discussion around maritime and coastal use, development and governance. The journal provides a rigorous but constructive review process and rapid publication, and is accessible to new researchers, including postgraduate students and early career academics.
