The Study Of Fisherman Group Differentiation Under The Marine Environment Changes

This study is from the perspective of system theory: the marine environment system, fishermen groups, economy system. The three systems are related, any one system of the three changing will cause the changes of other two systems. Changes in the marine environment will inevitably lead to changes in fisheries economic activity. Changes in economic activity will lead to further groups of fishermen both horizontal and vertical changes. This study investigates the influence from marine environment changes to fishermen occupational differentiation, and the situation of marine environment changes, the path by which different elements influence the differentiation of fishermen groups. They analysis methods is history and space compare. The analysis software includes: EXCEL, SPSS. The conclusion is based on the description, comparison, correlation analysis of the data from questionnaire and literature collection.The contents of this paper includes six chapters: the first chapter is introduction, including research background, research purpose, research significance, research methods, the feasibility of study and the innovations of study; the second chapter This chapter outlines the history and current situation of marine environment changing of Country and Long Island County. the third chapter is about the impaction of marine environment changing on fishermen communities. We try to do a correlation analysis between changes in marine environment and lifestyle in fishermen groups. And provide a realistic and theoretical premise to further study of marine environment changing to fishermen groups differentiation; the forth chapter is about the differentiation status of fishermen communities. This chapter introduces the occupational differentiation status of fishermen groups in Long Island County: coastal fishing, ocean fishing, marine transportation, aquaculture, recreational fisheries, aquatic processing fishermen and so on. The fifth chapter is about the reason and the path of fishermen division. This chapter analyses how do marine environment changes affect the differentiation of fishermen groups and the degree of impact. And to make research more comprehensive and objective, this chapter also analyses how dose other factors based on marine environment changes affect onto the differentiation of fishermen groups. The sixth chapter is the conclusion of this research. This chapter explains the main theoretical model of the conclusions on the basis of the previous chapters about the impact of marine environment changing (including the marine environment and marine ecology) onto fishermen group differentiation. On the foundation of marine environment changes, how do other variety social and personal factors (including policy, family factors, individual age, sex, educational level, power factor) lead to the division of fishermen groups. However, the social and personal factors have to adapt to the changes in the marine environment in order to win in the competition of fishermen group division and get into a higher income level. And individuals whose factors dose not adapt to the changes of marine environment changes will have a comparative disadvantage status and is in a low income level relatively.
