"A process of dispossession and disruption of indigenous fishing cultures is a matter of historic record in many parts of Papua New Guinea. Customary Marine Tenure (CMT) is only now being acknowledged and documented, especially compared to the extensive ethnographic record on land tenure. Mixtures of communal and exclusive individual tenure, or public access traditions may overlap. CMT are viable, if fragile and still incompletely understood, limited entry solutions to managing living marine resources in response to degradation of environment and legislation of commons status for inshore fisheries used as a convenient maneuver to displace or nullify CMT claims of indigenous Melanesians." |
