AbstractThis article contributes to a recent and growing body of literature exploring the nature fieldwork in human geography. Specifically, we critically examine role gatekeepers providing access "the field," based on existing conceptualizations our own experiences with gatekeepers. We argue that concept has been oversimplified, relationships between researchers are often assumed be unidirectional—with controlling or by researchers—and predominantly static form time. Although accept...
This article examines the recent convergence of community‐based and transboundary natural resource management in Africa. We suggest that both approaches have potential application to common‐pool resources such as floodplain fisheries. However, a merging may reinforce oversimplifications about heterogeneity resources, users, institutions. A scalar mismatch between ecosystem concern local management, well different colonial post‐colonial histories contribute this heterogeneity. describe...
This case study of a fish market near the border Namibia and Zambia examines how economic environmental changes have affected marketing channels associated with fishery in southern Africa. We monitored volume origin entering Katima Mulilo, Namibia, between 2007 2012, conducted semi-structured interviews committee members vendors. Prior to 2010, for had simple commodity chain, involving local producers consumers. Since then, nearby lake has refilled, providing new source fish. The expanded...
Environmental and limnological monitoring is of interest to government agencies, researchers, the general public. In communities that rely on are heavily affected by lakes their watersheds, accessible intuitive presentation lake properties influences aids decision-making, interventions, formulation environmentally sound policies. this paper, interactive web-based visualizations employed as a mechanism communicate environmental information collected from commercial cruise vessel. A pilot...
