- Description
- The paper examines factors affecting the conflict between the fishing community and the agricultural community. This dissatisfaction is due to the discharge of wastewater from the upland community into the lagoon, which caused bad effects to the lagoon environment and resources as well as the production of net enclosure aquaculture. The paper argues that the conflict is derived from multiple interacting factors, which include changes in property rights, overlapping practice of the management right, and resource characteristics. The paper shows that different property rights have been established in natural fish exploitation and aquaculture activities, which resulted in the fact that the fishing community could not prevent the lagoon water from being affected by wastewater from the agricultural community. Moreover, the management right over the lagoon resource is performed by different stakeholders including resource users, village fisheries association, and different government agencies. It is difficult to define clearly their roles and responsibilities in the cooperation for the lagoon management. Therefore, no single actor feels fully accountable for the actions of the cooperation. The management of the lagoon is mostly about specific lagoon exploitation activities and within the lagoon boundary. Meanwhile, the lagoon is not a separated system, but adjacent to agriculture system and affected by the wastewater from the system. Understanding the nature of these factors is important in finding the solutions for addressing this conflict.
