The complex lives of fishermen are generally not understood outside of the fishing community. The Pedro Bank, the island’s primary fishing area is 80 km south of Jamaica and is source to the largest export of Queen Conch from the Caribbean. Using 154 structured interviews, the mechanisms by which the Pedro fishers, construct their livelihoods derived on the Banks were examined. For the estimated 150 to 1200 Fishers, decision to settle on respective Cays, method of fishing and use of resources from Pedro Bank fishing were all determined by place of origin on mainland Jamaica. 85% of fishers on North East Cay were from rural communities while 65% of Fishers on Middle Cay were from urban communities. 56% of rural fishers and 65% of urban fishers had never fished before arriving at Pedro. Behavioral dynamics and livelihood strategies of the Pedro Bank fishers are critical in developing future management plans.
