I.INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background: The social structure of fishing communities is generally characterized by strong patron-client bonds (Masyhuri and Nadjib, 2000; Satria, 2002; Kusnadi, 2000). The bond is according to Abernethy (2000) analysis that society has a traditional system to perform its functions. The bonding occurs because the mastery of resources between patrons and clients is very different. Masyhuri (2000) describes the occurrence of accounts payable by fishermen when the catch is less. Debt to patron in this case fisherman owner (skipper) done with the guarantee of work as fisherman labor which sometimes also accompanied by relationship outside arresting activity. In social interaction relations are usually characterized by a process of exchange.

The Malayan term trepang describes a variety of edible holothurians commonly known as sea cucumbers. Although found in temperate and tropical marine waters all over the world, the centre of species diversity and abundance are the shallow coastal waters of Island Southeast Asia. For at least 300 years, trepang has been a highly priced commodity in the Chinese market. Originally, its fishing and trade was a specialized business, centred on the town of Makassar in South Sulawesi (Indonesia). The rise of trepang fishing in the 17th century added valuable export merchandize to the rich shallow seas surrounding the islands of Southeast Asia. This enabled local communities to become part of large trading networks and greatly supported their economic development. In this article, we follow Makassan trepang fishing and trading from its beginning until the industrialization of the fishery and worldwide depletion of sea cucumbers in the 20th century. Thereby, we identify a number of characteristics which trepang fishing shares with the exploitation of other marine resources, including (1) a strong influence of international markets, (2) the role of patron-client relationships which heavily influence the resource selection, and (3) the roving-bandit-syndrome, where fishermen exploit local stocks of valuable resources until they are depleted, and then move to another area. We suggest that understanding the similarities and differences between historical and recent exploitation of marine resources is an important step towards effective management solutions.

This paper discusses the issue of patriotism amongst the Bugis ethnic in Sabah. As of today, there have been no scientific studies that measure and evaluate the level of patriotism of the Bugis ethnic in the state. Ironically though, most of the time, these people face the disgrace of being questioned on their level of patriotism and status. In the Ordinance of Sabah for example, the Bugis people are often sidelined where critical subjects are concerned. These include the exclusion of the people from receiving incentives as one of the native ethnics, being denied of both scholarships of the State Foundation and the Sabah government, also difficulty in attaining employment in State government offices. Although the historical records proved their migration to North Borneo (Sabah) as early as the 1880s, it was very evident that their existence was more often than not, taken for granted, as they were denied of basic privileges unlike other ethnic natives who were already residing in Sabah. Most of the prior studies omitted the core issue of the Bugis presence in Sabah and only focused on the aspects of their first and earliest voyage to Sabah, as well as cultural aspects and economic activities.

A growing number of Bugis shrimp farmers in the delta of the Mahakam River, East Kalimantan experience injustices with respect to limited redress from the oil and gas industry (Total E&P Indonesia) and the government. The redress sought relates to declining or even loss of shrimp produce that people link to environmental changes allegedly caused by the activities of Total E&P Indonesia. The social, economic and cultural background of the injustices and the grievances that they have evoked are identified in this paper. The paper also includes an overview and analysis of the role of the government to show that by neglecting the Mahakam delta in terms of planning and regulation, it allowed a frontier culture to evolve and protract. In the meantime, shrimp farmers move to other frontiers, leaving behind in poverty many of whom worked for them, while many seek compensation from Total.
