Résumé (en anglais)

Stone tidal weir is a traditional kind of stone trap made for fishing. Its prototype was a curved U or V-shaped underwater stonewall laid within the intertidal zone. Sea animals could be brought into the trap when the tide came up and left inside the trap as tide dropped. It’s a specific kind of human landscape which could be found only if stones could be easily obtained at some shingle or coral reef beaches. In Asia, the stone tidal weirs just existed in some parts of Korea, Thailand and western Kyushu, Okinawa, Yaeyama, Quanzhou, and Taiwan. At Taiwan, this way of fishing was assumed practiced by the Docas family of the Pinghu people of early Taiwan. As it was bearing wave erosions twice a day, its construction deserved more efforts in regular maintenance than any other similar stone-laid walls like terraced fields. Not just inexhaustible stones in hand, but sufficient labour which could spontaneously be obtained by tacit understanding are key factors for these kinds of construction to be built and sustained. Consequently, the sharing of the trapped-fishing was based on each household’s contribution in initial construction and sustaining maintenance, the consensus in sweat-equity. Therefore, anywhere if the tidal stone weir existed and could still function well, it could be regarded as a kind of human landscape which manifested the genuine social production of fishing. At Penghu Islands and Houlung, the shingle coast section of Taiwan some stone tidal weirs still existed and functioned-well under regular maintenance by the government. Their existences witnessed the sweat-equity consensus associated with segmentedownership, periodical fishing right, maintenance-responsibility and the labour contribution during initial construction. Even existing, they are all under severe risk and sustainable management planning is urgent and necessary. This paper proposed to make a brief introduction about Taiwan’s tidal weirs’ restoration and maintenance which is trying to keep the real illustration of continuity of local fishing/hunting cultures.
