Analysis
The Tagbanua’s way of life is under pressure with residual discrimination by the local government and its citizens, competition over fishing grounds with the migrants who use destructive fishing methods like cyanide and dynamite, and disrespect by the local tourism industry.
The presence of community-wide norms can enable resource management both by preventing certain behaviours and encouraging others. The term “indigenous resource management system” includes local strategies, institutions, and technologies of farming, gathering, and fishing often embodied in the local language and learned from relatives and neighbours.
