In Mali, among the fishermen of the inner delta of the river Niger in Mali, territorial limits do exist, but they are flexible and temporary, with very versatile features. Much more than division, they imply agreement, and are carefully governed, in much the same way as are the fishing places themselves. Temporal limits are more clear. Here, three levels of spatial organisation are tackled. A modern and nowadays democratic decentralized territorial management establishes standardized and functional divisions of space which may, once again, disrupt the balance of the rather unique social running of this continental halieutic area.
