The health of marine ecosystems and associated biodiversity are a fundamental basis not
only for the livelihoods security of the coastal fisherfolk but also for the capacity of the sector to
contribute to its well being (FA0.2014). A durable fishery depends on a well-functioning
ecosystem which in turn calls for effective management systems that ensure its conservation.
There is no need to reiterate the fact that there can not be fish without the ecosystem that
produce them. There is increasing recognition that fisheries management should integrate the
Convention on Biodiversity. Article 7.2,2 of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries
dem ands that the management measures should provide inter alia that the biodiversity of
aquatic habitats and ecosystems is conserved and endangered species are protected. It is also
true that without a socio-political context capable of nurturing an ethos of responsible
stewardship there can not be a resilient fisheries. The notion of community as agents for
fisheries management is gaining currency (Kooiman et al 2005,), In this context it would be of
interest to find that a very unique traditional community based fisheries management
institution called Kadalkodathy has stood the test of time along the Malabar coast of Kerala.
