| contents | <p><em><span>This study examined indigenous adaptation strategies for promoting sustainable fishing practices among fisherfolks in Kalabari kingdom of Rivers State. Three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted the analytic descriptive survey research design. The population of the study was 7000, comprising of 6,983 fisher folks from 28 fishing settlements in Kalabari Kingdom and 17 Agricultural Extension Officers from the three Local Government Areas in Kalabari Kingdom. The sample size of this study was 367 respondents consisting of 350 Fisherfolks and 17 Agricultural Extension Officers in Rivers State. The study used a self-designed questionnaire for data collection. The instruments were validated by the researcher’s supervisor, one expert in Community Development and one in Measurement and Evaluation from Rivers State University. A test of internal consistency was carried out using the Cronbach Alpha method to determine the reliability of the instrument. Reliability coefficients of 0.85, 0.89 and 0.93 were obtained for the three sections of the instrument respectively. From the quantitative data analyzed, the findings of the study, among others revealed that to a high extent, community-based resource management promote sustainable fishing practices among fisherfolks in coastal communities in Kalabari kingdom of Rivers State. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among other things that traditional authorities and government agencies in Kalabari kingdom should formally recognize and strengthen existing community-based resource management systems. This should include establishing legal frameworks that support traditional fishing councils and their decision-making powers over local fishing grounds</span></em></p> |
