Internal migration constitutes a major source of steady flow of population in India, and reports published by the World Economic Forum (WEF),1 2017 state that interstate migration in the country has doubled during 2001–2011, compared to the previous decade.2 In developing countries, such migration is often considered to be an effective way for income diversification for the economically marginalised sections of the society, even though its effect on ‘human development’ is oft debated. This article would engage with this debate and bring out how migration from the Indian part of the Sundarbans to other parts of the country is not only changing the demography of the region but is also having a strong impact on the local perception and attachment towards the deltaic landscape. By bringing in ethnographic details from a village in the Indian Sundarbans, which was predominately inhabited by the fishing community earlier, this article would bring out how traditional occupations like fishing are slowly losing their popularity in the face of the lure of out-migration, as the very identity of the ‘indigenous’ Sundarban fisher folks—who were once rightfully considered to be the true conservator of the forests—is changing. From there, this article would engage with the broader debate of rethinking whether migration can be considered as a positive indicator of development in such ecologically fragile areas like the Sundarban deltas, which used to indeed have a distinct economic, social and cultural life of its own.

History Of

Charting the course: The world of alternative livelihood research brings a heavy history of paternalistic colonial intervention and moralising. In particular, subsistence fishers in South East Asia are cyclical attractors of project funding to help them exit poverty and not ‘further degrade the marine ecosystem’ (Cinner et al. 2011), through leaving their boats behind and embarking on non-oceanic careers. What happens, then, when we turn an autoethnographic eye on the livelihood of the alternative livelihood researcher? What lexicons of lack and luck may we borrow from the fishers in order to ‘render articulate and more systematic those feelings of dissatisfaction’ (Young 2002) of an academic’s life’s work and our work-life? What might we learn from comparing small-scale fishers to small-scale scholars about how to successfully ‘navigate’ the casualised waters of the modern university? Does this unlikely course bring any ideas of ‘possibilities glimmering’ (Young 2002) for ‘exiting’ poverty in Academia?

Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi sumberdaya alam dan profil SDM yang terdapatdi TWP Laut Banda dan menentukan Mata Pencarian Alternatif (MPA) di TWP Laut banda dengan tetapmempertimbangkan keberlanjutan ekosistem dan sumberdaya perairan dalam mendukung pengelolaankawasan konservasi untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi masyarakat setempat. Penelitianini menggunakan tiga pendekatan yaitu: studi kepustakaan, observasi dan survei serta ParticipatoryRural Appraisal (PRA). Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis rating scale, analisisstudi kelayakan dan analisis SWOT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan mata pencaharian alternatif yangsangat layak dikembangkan (Prioritas 1) adalah budidaya rumput laut sedangkan layak dikembangkan(Prioritas 2) adalah home industry, kerupuk ikan dan bertanam sayur. Saran dan strategi yang perludiperhatikan antara lain melakukan sosialiasi, penyuluhan dan pelatihan teknis usaha pada prioritas1 dan prioritas 2 dengan harapan masyarakat terutama nelayan saat tidak melaut tetap meningkatkanpendapatan ekonomi namun tidak melakukan kegiatan destruktif. Selain itu perlu dibentuk kelembagaanpengelolaan (kelompok) mata pencaharian alternatif di TWP Laut Banda sebagai pelopor yang akanmenularkan kemampuannya dalam usaha kepada masyarakat lainnya. Perlu mendapatkan dukungandan fasilitasi dari pemerintah, terkait dengan mata pencaharian alternatif yang akan dikembangkanseperti pendampingan teknis dan membangun pola kemitraan bisnis untuk memperoleh penyediaanmodal dan akses pasar yang lebih luas mengingat sangat sulit akses transportasi di TWP Laut Banda.Title: Identification and Development Strategy of Alternative Livelihoodfor Welfare Society in Water Park of Banda SeaThis study aims to assess the potential of natural resources and human resource profile in TWPBanda Sea and then determine the Alternative Livelihood (MPA) in TWP Banda Sea.

This was done in the hope of people especially fishermen, when they are notfishing, they still earn money, but did not do destructive activities. Addition it is necessary be formedinstitutional management (group) of alternative livelihood in TWP Banda Sea as a pioneer who willtransmit capability in order to other societies.
