{"pk":41022,"title":"Tonnare\n in Italy: Science, History and Culture of Sardinian Tuna Fishing","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Through a case study of a Sardinian \ntonnara\n, this article provides an interdisciplinary look at the science, culture, and history of fishing in the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean Sea and the crystalline waters of Sardinia, in particular, are currently confronting a paradox of marine preservation. On the one hand, Italian coastal resources are prized nationally and internationally for their natural beauty as well as economic and recreational uses. On the other hand, deep-seated Italian cultural values and traditions, such as the desire for high-quality fresh fish in local cuisines and the continuity of ancient fishing communities, as well as the demands of tourist and real-estate industries, are contributing to the destruction of marine ecosystems. The synthesis presented here offers a unique perspective combining historical, scientific, and cultural factors important to one Sardinian \ntonnara\n in the context of a larger global debate about Atlantic bluefin tuna conservation.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Italy in the Modern and Contemporary Mediterranean","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2nm2b772","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Katherine","middle_name":"B","last_name":"Emery","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Santa Barbara","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2009-02-09T00:00:00-08:00","date_accepted":"2009-02-09T00:00:00-08:00","date_published":"2010-02-17T00:00:00-08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cisj/article/41022/galley/30697/download/"}]}
