“…This may require a higher level of organization of the recreational sector and collaboration between the sectors to fight poaching in fisheries. It is important to consider what is happening in the United States (Boucquey, 2017) and Southwest Australia (Brown, 2016;Voyer et al, 2017), where public policies are favoring recreational over commercial fisheries, leading to undesired loss of valuable provisioning ecosystem services to local populations.…”

Assessing Knowledge Gaps and Management Needs to Cope With Barriers for Environmental, Economic, and Social Sustainability of Marine Recreational Fisheries: The Case of Spain

The European Parliament is concerned about the lack of information on the relevance of nine million Europeans engaged in marine recreational fishing (MRF), committing Member States to encourage environmental and socioeconomic sustainability of the sector. The objective of this paper is to provide recommendations to guide research actions and management policies, based on the case of Spain, a key country because its complex administrative regimen and the intensive use of its coasts, including 900,000 recreational fishers. A review of the state of the knowledge was performed to identify research gaps, while governance challenges were identified in an International Symposium on MRF. In the last two decades research on MRF was remarkable (139 publications). However, public investment in research (€2.44 million in the same period) should be improved to cover knowledge gaps on socioeconomic relevance, on impacts on vulnerable species and on implications of global warming. The license system should be standardized to allow estimation of effort, catch and expenditure. Social networks, mobile applications, fisher ecological knowledge, and citizen science programs could help to develop cost-effective research and management. Sciencebased, adaptive policies should improve the allocation of resources between MRF and other stakeholders, introducing co-management to reduce conflicts.

“…Yet, there are alternative meanings of rural places shaped by outdoor recreation and values of environmental conservation. These experiences and values provide alternative meanings of place and foster emotional ties to land and nonhuman nature that can motivate support for conservation and opposition to extractive industries (Boucquey 2017; Farrell 2015; Ulrich‐Schad and Hua 2018). Industrial development can be interpreted as a threat when it creates risks to public health (Wulfhorst 2000) or risks to wilderness aesthetics and ecosystems that are salient in the cultural frameworks of environmentalists and outdoor recreation enthusiasts (Farrell 2015).…”

Who Speaks for the Place? Cultural Dynamics of Conflicts Over Hazardous Industrial Development

Research in environmental sociology typically focuses on how communities mobilize against polluting industries in “not in my backyard” (NIMBY) reactions or accept industrial pollution. Instead, I explore how different groups react to the same proposed development with divergent NIMBY and “place it in my backyard” (PIMBY) demands. I use the emblematic case of controversial proposed copper mines in the rural Iron Range region of Minnesota to examine how different social actors use cultural repertoires to interpret development and assert legitimacy in making decisions about the place. Through interviews, ethnographic observation, and discourse analysis, I find that decisions about mining development become controversial because of how the projects resonate, or conflict, with people’s emotional meanings of place, not simply material benefits or scientific assessments of pollution. Pro‐mining mobilization from rural, white, and working‐class residents is justified by the right to defend a way of life. Opposition from environmentalists is framed as protecting a cherished place understood through experiences of outdoor recreation and wilderness that is now threatened by development. I advance environmental sociology by using concepts of cultural repertoires and place to examine cultural dynamics of environmental conflicts and how groups construct meanings of justice and assert legitimacy.

“…Here, gear hunters bond over a shared mastery of technology (Littlefield & Ozanne, 2011) and may be poised in greater opposition to "bare bones hunters," just as paying clients seeking the wild boar hunting experience at large estate may be profoundly contrasted to the everyday rural hunter who tends to his game and feeds his wild boars locally. Certainly, animosity the other way around is clear in rural communities today, where "those that do it for fun" are resented by locals (Boucquey, 2017). Research indicates that as hunting becomes subject to new forces, people, and trends, one's identity in relation to others is given greater importance (Bye, 2003;von Essen, 2017).…”

Sport hunting has been shaped by modernization processes such as commoditization and rationalization. But these processes have also precipitated counterreactions seeking to return hunting to a state of authenticity. This is manifested in the rise of atavism such as bowhunting and exemplified in an embodied turn that involves a more intimate and care-based relationship with wildlife. Many hunters today are demarcated into "communities of practice" on the basis of how they are positioned in relation to these contradicting trends. In this article, I investigate what happens when such trends and leisure communities of practice collide, using a case study of wild boar hunting. I show how the wild boar becomes a nexus for the contradictions of modernization. This is discussed, first, as to what this means for wild boar welfare and, second, as to what sorts of identities, values, and ethics the wild boar brings about among hunters.
