Abstract

 This paper is an interpretative approach of a conflicting state of affairs in the Danube   Delta, Romania, where local communities of Russian and Ukrainian fishermen claim   their “rights” of wetland management in the context of (and sometimes against) the   government policies of “conserving biodiversity”. My general assumption is that   divergences acting between fishermen and the authorities in the Danube Delta are   essentially rooted in a kind of “generalized (but not insurmountable) incongruity” of   two such occupational and institutional “worlds” and, moreover “worldviews”.
