| Summary: | The sea urchin fishery in Grenada: A case study of social-ecological networks ROXY NAYAR, IAIN DAVIDSON-HUNT, PATRICK McCONNEY AND BRIAN DAVY This paper examines the white sea urchin (Tripneustes ventricosus) or the “sea egg ” fishery in Grenada prior to its closure in 1995. It is a case study examining the social-ecological networks of the fishery, to identify the participants and their networks with consideration for the multitude of challenges and issues facing small-scale fisheries and their management. Improving governance and using social network analysis to understand social structure and features may improve the likelihood that an alternative to the prevailing centrally-controlled management strategies can be found and be more effective. The sea egg in Grenada is most commonly found in near shore habitats along the east and southeast coasts from River Antoine to Calliste. The sea egg fishery was closed in 1995 after it collapsed following a period of increasing harvest aimed at meeting local and export demand. The research was undertaken in Grenada during the summer of 2008 for the research f a Masters degree at the Natural Resources Institute at the University of Manitoba, Canada. Methodology |
