4. Impact of Migrated Fishing Techniques
The chapter discusses the environmental impacts of advanced fishing techniques employed by migrated fishermen and the consequences of these actions on local ecosystems, particularly coral reefs and marine life. It emphasizes the disconnection of migrant communities from the territories they exploit, leading to overfishing and environmental degradation. The text also addresses challenges of addressing climate change, including spatial and temporal mismatches in understanding environmental impacts.

What we have learnt
- Migrated fishermen use advanced but harmful fishing techniques that destroy local ecosystems.
- Cultural ties to the land are essential for sustainable fishing practices.
- Addressing climate change requires understanding the spatial and temporal scales of environmental impacts.
Key Concepts
- -- Overfishing
- A condition where fish are caught at a faster rate than they can reproduce, leading to depletion of fish populations.
- -- Environmental degradation
- The deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources, destruction of ecosystems, and loss of biodiversity.
- -- Spatial scale challenges
- The difficulty in correlating local environmental impacts with broader climate change effects that may originate from distant locations.
- -- Temporal and functional challenges
- Issues related to the time frames and responsibilities of various agencies involved in disaster recovery and environmental management.
