“…The study of maritime communities is then essential to carry out a complete analysis of the complex relationships established between people, culture and the natural environment over time. The concept 'maritime community' (Ransley, 2011) allows us to overcome many of the geographical, biologic, technicist and economistic viewpoints traditionally applied in the study of maritime societies and their management of the environment. This concept focuses on an anthropological perspective that addresses identity and cultural, political and social phenomena embedded into the different groups linked to the sea (Florido del Corral, 2008;Galván, 1999;Galván & Pascual, 1996;Rubio-Ardanaz, 2014).…”

In this research, we address the relationship that exists between the development of certain unsustainable fishing practices among professional small‐scale fishery, industrial fishery and recreational fishing and the historical and social changes observed in the configuration of maritime fishing communities in Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). We also explore the impact that European, Spanish and regional policies have had on the strategies of exploitation of the marine environment and the forms of social organisation of these communities. To do this, we apply a multiproxy approach that includes several kinds of data: field research, photographic archives, oral interviews, local newspapers, legislation, official reports and published literature. The anthropological and historic viewpoints applied in the research delve into how the disappearance of traditional professional small‐scale fishing and the surge of both a bottom‐trawl fleet and recreational marine fishing have not only promoted a loss of sustainability and environmental balance in such coastal environments but have also led to a significant loss regarding key cultural and identity assets.

The archaeological study of maritime industries can potentially encompass a bewildering array of artefacts, sites, structures, landscapes, vessels, mechanisms, processes, and communities on land, in intertidal zones, on and in the water, and on submerged land surfaces. This chapter presents whaling as a case study, focusing on the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. During this period whaling emerged as a global industry operating at different scales from pelagic fleets roaming the oceans of the world, to small seasonal shore stations. In particular this section reviews recent work by Australian archaeologists towards a systematic approach to studying whaling at a national level.

The dugout canoe from São Tomé and Príncipe Islands: from the tree to the sea

The aim of this article and the research mission that originated the work described here is to evaluate the scientific potential of the maritime cultural heritage of São Tomé and Príncipe. Based on the available data, only one article on the archaeological potential of the islands has been published, in 2022. The work presented here focuses on the study of São Toméan canoes, documenting and understanding their manufacturing process from the cutting of the tree to their use on the water. Therefore, this work has more to do with ethnography than with nautical and maritime archaeology in its genesis. The symbiosis between these disciplines arises from the necessity to document traditions, ways of life, and vessels that are rapidly disappearing on a daily basis. The tradition of crafting crafts from trees is disappearing due to the loss of forests and the difficulty in finding suitable trees and species. Additionally, younger generations lack interest in this tradition, and fibreglass has been introduced as an alternative. This study aims to analyze and compare an almost forgotten island reality that struggles to survive.
