Introduction of New Outrigger Canoes in Indonesia - BOBP/REP/57
This report gives an account of the successful attempts to develop and introduce a new type of outrigger canoe for the benefit of small-scale fisherfolk in Nias Island, North Sumatera, Indonesia. It summarizes the activities of canoe construction, training of carpenters, demonstration and long-term fishing trials and discusses the impact and prospects for further development. The work was undertaken from late 1988 till early 1993 as a subproject under BOBP’s “Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communit ies” project GCP/RAS/118/MUL. The subproject was channelled through the Provincial Fisheries Service (PFS) of North Sumatera but was, to a very large extent, an autonomous unit in Nias with a Field Assistant, Tafonaha Gulo, as the only staff. The Boatbuilder Consultant assisting in construction of prototype canoes and training of carpenters was M Savins, from Australia.
