There are four main types of social conflicts that exist within fishers' societies: class conflict, orientation conflict, primordial conflict, and territorial conflict. Class conflict occurs between traditional and commercial fishers over power and resource utilization. Orientation conflict arises from different views on short-term versus long-term resource use. Primordial conflict stems from ethnic, origin, or identity differences. Territorial conflict disputes fishing grounds between fishers or other parties. Each type of traditional and commercial fisher can experience different combinations of these four social conflicts.
