| Abstract | This paper is a documentation of knowledge gained during the first phase of implementation of a development project by a research institution. The data reported here were gathered through individual and group interviews of village elders, Barangay officials, women, and fishers. Like the San Antonio fishermen along Laguna de Bay, the islanders of the Torres Strait, and the raft fishermen and shore dwellers of Brazil, Malalison fishers also differentiate sea space through specific names and practice a system of triangulation for marking fishing spots. |
