Rural Cornish coastal fishing communities express, and have expressed, varying degrees of ability to develop and retain social resilience capacity, or the ability to withstand ‘shock’ over both ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ onset events in social, political, economic and natural domain terms (Wilson, 2012a). Endogenous and exogenous influences may include natural changes in resources and resource dependency resulting in the loss or depletion of community livelihoods associated with a decline in fishing activities (Brookfield, 2005; Marshall, 2007a), issues of tourism driven change and notions of ‘community’. Four capitals are initially conceptually considered, those of natural, political, social and economic capitals driving institutional change and individual-community behaviour within fishing communities. This is considered for fishing activities and cross-community aspirational or extant forms of resilience building with a particular focus on social memory, community-personal identity (Wilson, 2012b; Wilson, 2013; Wilson, 2014) and critically, power (Chaskin, 2001). This research frames community resilience within a resilience framework on local, national and EU scales. The initial capital approach is further developed and articulated into a novel resilience status and process framework, the community resilience and vulnerability index, or the CRVI. The research fieldwork observes social resilience through empirical qualitative methods supported by an anthropological lens, especially in regard to social issues, trust, confidence, power and agency within fishing communities and trajectories that have been guided by internal and external influences and adaptive change to social networks. One of the research challenges was the building of the CRVI using coupled approaches to coping strategies that may have value both across the Cornish case study communities and into wider community usage.

nÃo hà / Redonda, comunidade pesqueira distante 200 km de Fortaleza, capital do estado do Cearà - Brasil, està localizada nas coordenadas geogrÃficas 04Â25Â28,79â S e 037Â54Â17,97â W. A Praia de Redonda tem o segundo maior contingente populacional do municÃpio a que pertence â IcapuÃ, com 3.000 habitantes, com um total de aproximadamente 610 famÃlias, e tem o segundo maior nÃmero de embarcaÃÃes à vela destinadas à pesca de lagosta, atrÃs somente da capital Fortaleza. O estudo propÃe a construÃÃo de um modelo de gestÃo participativa â co- gestÃo â que pode promover a conservaÃÃo da pesca e dos recursos pesqueiros em grande escala, a partir da implementaÃÃo de modelo piloto em comunidades pesqueiras, integrando o elemento humano (usuÃrio) ao manejo pesqueiro. O objetivo geral dessa proposta foi realizar um levantamento do estado da arte do setor pesqueiro na comunidade de Redonda e estabelecer um marco de trabalho para o desenho dos planos de gestÃo dos recursos pesqueiros. Os planos de gestÃo incorporam princÃpios de sustentabilidade utilizando uma aproximaÃÃo de gestÃo integrada das Ãreas costeiras. O modelo de gestÃo foi baseado na participaÃÃo de todos os agentes envolvidos no setor pesqueiro, local ou nÃo, participando no processo de desenho, elaboraÃÃo e implementaÃÃo do plano de co-gestÃo. O estudo comeÃou a partir da aceitaÃÃo da necessidade de um novo modelo de gerenciamento pesqueiro cooperativo na Comunidade objeto do estudo, passando pela compreensÃo de que o sucesso da co-gestÃo pesqueira nÃo à somente dependente da boa implementaÃÃo do programa, mas tambÃm sobre o modo de como a idÃia foi concebida. Nosso foco no estÃgio da prÃ- implementaÃÃo nos levou a examinar a origem da idÃia e de que maneira, ou circunstÃncias, esse processo comeÃou na Comunidade para, a partir desse ponto, ter inÃcio a fase de levantamento de dados. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre 2007 e 2010 e esteve baseada na coleta de dados primÃrios e dados secundÃrios. O principal conflito relatado por moradores na Praia de Redonda à a luta de seus pescadores contra a presenÃa de mergulhadores na Ãrea de pesca de Redonda. A soluÃÃo da crise apresentada pela populaÃÃo à a criaÃÃo de uma AMP - Ãrea Marinha Protegida, com 2.200 kmÂ, dentro do que preconiza a lei do SNUC â Sistema Nacional de Unidades de ConservaÃÃo, beneficiando 13 comunidades pesqueiras pertencentes aos municÃpios de Aracati e Icapuà e aproximadamente 1930 pescadores. Foram contabilizadas 229 embarcaÃÃes pesqueiras somente em Redonda e, dessas, 180 unidades sÃo denominadas bote de casco e representam 78,6% da frota local. As principais artes de pesca utilizadas em Redonda sÃo as cangalhas para a captura de lagosta, enquanto que para a captura de peixe sÃo utilizadas as redes de espera, espinhel e linha de mÃo. A produÃÃo mÃdia de lagosta viva desembarcada em Redonda, no perÃodo de 2004 a 2009 foi 47,8 kg/barco/dia. AlÃm de lagosta, os peixes mais pescados sÃo: guaiÃba, cioba, dentÃo, sirigado, guarajuba, cavala, dourado, agulhÃo e albacora. O estudo demonstra a necessidade da implementaÃÃo do sistema de co-gestÃo pesqueira para a pesca artesanal na regiÃo leste do Estado como forma de propiciar a sustentabilidade da atividade pesqueira. / Redonda, a fishing village that is 200 km away from Fortaleza, capital of Cearà State - Brazil, located at geographical coordinates 04 25â 28,79â S and 037 54â 17,97â W. Redonda Beach has the second largest population in the city, to which it belongs - IcapuÃ, with 3,000 inhabitants, with a total of about 610 families and a large number of sailing lobster boats, second only to the State capital, Fortaleza. The purpose of this study is the building of a model of participative management â co-management â which can promote the conservation of fisheries and fishery resources in a large scale, through the implementation of a pilot model in artisanal fisheries villages, integrating the human element (user) to fisheries management. The overall objective of this proposal was to survey the state of the art of the fishing sector in the Redonda community and establish a frame of work for the design of management plans for fishery resources. Management plans incorporate principles of sustainability using an approximation of integrated management of coastal zones. The management model was based on the participation of all stakeholders in the local fishing industry or not, participating in the process of designing, developing and implementing the plan of co-management. The study began by accepting the need for a new model of cooperative fishery management in the Community object of study, and realizing that the success of fisheries co-management is not only dependent on the successful implementation of the program, but also how the idea was conceived. Our focus at the pre-implementation stage led us to examine the origin of the idea and in what manner, or circumstances, this process began in the Community, and from there, began the data collection phase. Data was collected between 2007 and 2010 and was based on primary and secondary data. The main conflict reported by residents in Redonda Beach is its fishermenâs struggle against the presence of divers in the fishing area of Redonda. The solution presented by the population was the creation of an AMP - Marine Protected Area, with 2,200 square kilometers, in accordance with SNUC - National System of Conservation Units, benefiting 13 fishing communities belonging to the municipalities of Aracati and Icapuà and about 1,930 fishermen. In Redonda, alone, 229 fishing boats were accounted for out of which 180 are called boat hull and represent 78.6% of the local fleet. The main fishing gear used are cangalhas to catch lobster and fish is caught through the use of gill nets, longlines and hand line. The average landing of live lobsters in Redonda, from 2004 through 2009 was 47.8 kg/boat/day. Other than lobster, some important landed species are: yellowtail snapper, red snapper, dentÃo, sirigado, guarajuba, mackerel, dourado, marlin and yellowfin tuna. The study demonstrates the need of implementation of a fisheries co- management system for artisanal fisheries in the eastern coast of the State as a means to provide the sustainability of the fishing activity.
