2.2. Mismatch of Scales in Climate Change Causes

But here in the present conditions one has to understand that many migrated fishermen have understood that a lot of fish available here and they started migrating to these places and they had adopted different various advanced fishing techniques.

In many regions, fishermen from other areas have come in search of plentiful fish. They've learned to use advanced fishing techniques that improve their catch. However, these techniques are not environment-friendly. For example, they might use dynamite, fine nets that trap very small fry, or damage coral reefs to drive fish into nets. These methods lead to overfishing and destruction of the environment, significantly affecting the ecosystems where the fish breed and live.

Think of a family moving into a new neighborhood and taking advantage of shared resources, like parks. They might use up these resources quickly without concern for how it affects the long-standing residents, ultimately altering the community's balance.

With the fish gone, they move on to another Island that is what so these Tagbanwa myths were no relevance to the fearless migrant, and in fact with these migrated fishermen coming into the picture even this Tagbanwa learned new fishing techniques that did not go against their beliefs.

As fishermen deplete fish populations, they often leave for new areas, which makes local cultural beliefs and myths about sustainability irrelevant to them. Meanwhile, the Tagbanwa people, the original inhabitants of these regions, face changes as they adapt and may even adopt new, harmful techniques that conflict with their traditional values. This cultural disconnection can undermine traditional practices that help protect the environment.

Imagine a group of gardeners who have sustainably tended to a community garden for years, teaching one another about the best ways to grow crops. Now, if a new set of gardeners comes in with a different mindset that focuses only on quick profits, the original gardeners may start to abandon their sustainable practices.

So now one can see them, one can witness how it has an impact on the coral reefs you know one certain coral reef has been damaged and obviously it affects the marine system, the marine system is affected when aqua system is affected.

The damage to coral reefs caused by harmful fishing methods leads to a ripple effect throughout the marine ecosystem. Coral reefs support diverse marine life, and when they are harmed, the fish populations also decline. The health of the aquatic environment is closely linked to human systems since it affects food sources and livelihoods, creating a cycle of repercussions that affect both nature and people.

Think of coral reefs like the roots of a tree; if the roots are damaged, the entire tree (and the ecosystem it supports) suffers. If one part of an ecosystem is compromised, the effects can be felt far and wide, similar to how cutting down a tree can disrupt local wildlife and water cycles.

So there is a spatial scale challenges when we talk about the climate change it talks about its very it talks up to much bigger scales, larger scales whereas the disaster it talks about much more to the pointed affected areas.

Climate change issues often occur at global scales, while the disasters it causes can impact specific local regions, making it difficult to connect these problems. For example, a flood caused by climate change in India might be influenced by actions taken in another country, such as a dam built far away. Understanding these connections is crucial for addressing the root causes of environmental issues.

It's similar to a chain reaction where someone’s action at one end of a country (like turning off a dam) can cause flooding in a completely different area. Just like how a ripple from a stone thrown in a pond can spread far from the splash point.

Also, the temporal and functional challenges; when we talk about the temporal and functional challenges, it is also about the role of different agencies whether it is an NGO or a government sector or quasi-government which whoever are coming so especially the NGOs who are coming the agencies to do the disaster recovery projects.

Different organizations, including NGOs and government agencies, often get involved in disaster recovery. However, their operations are usually short-term and project-based, which means they might not stay long enough to address the long-term impacts of their work. Once their contract ends, they leave without ensuring sustainable adjustments are made for the affected communities, leading to potential gaps in recovery and development.

Imagine a group of volunteers who come into a community to help rebuild after a natural disaster. They work hard to set everything up, but once their time is up, they leave without teaching the locals how to maintain those improvements. This can lead to the rebuilt structures falling into disrepair quickly.
