| Abstract: | The use of explosives and poisons in fishing is illegal and punishable with stiff fines and prison terms. Nevertheless, the use persists in a number of coastal villages in the Lingayen Gulf area. This paper gives the results of ethnographic studies in two fishing villages in the gulf area based on data/interviews covering the period May 1987 to April 1988. It describes: (1) how blast fishing and sodium cyanide fishing are practised in the villages; (2) the factors which affect their continued use; (3) the level of perception of village residents regarding these illegal practices; and (4) the need for edu- cation campaigns to increase awareness of the destructive effects of these illegal practices. |
