Cultural Diversity and Marine Biodiversity
Islands are disproportionate drivers of both cultural and ecological diversity. Yet, both forms of diversity face accelerating and compounding pressures and decline under the effects of globalization, climate change, and inflexible governance regimes. This paper argues that cultural diversity and marine biodiversity on islands are not merely co-located but fundamentally co-constitutive and bidirectional — each sustaining, shaping, and reinforcing…
Women's Active Engagement with the Sea Through Fishing in Fiji
International audience
Rapport de projet
Conceptualiser les pêcheries du Pacifique Sud comme enchâssées dans « un océan de connexions » permet de mettre en lumière les multiples significations, dimensions et expressions de la connectivité en Océanie. Entre mai 2018 et octobre 2022, le projet soc Pacific ( soc pour Sea Of Connections) a exploré le vaste réseau de connexions socioculturelles, politiques et géopolitiques au sein duquel les pratiques de pêche et de gestion des pêcheries se …
Encouraging Drawing in Research with Children on Marine Environments
As part of an interdisciplinary research project on South Pacific fisheries, we recognized children as one of the relevant categories of stakeholders whose perspectives on fishing and fisheries management need to be considered. We used drawings to explore how, in Fiji and New Caledonia, children perceive their marine environment, including the fishing practices and the connections between these and local ways of ‘being-in-the-world.’ Our methodol…
“Draw the sea…”
In the South Pacific region, marine territories and resources play a crucial role for local communities. Children engage with these territories and resources from an early age onwards. As the next ocean stewards, they are a stakeholder group whose understandings of ocean connectivity and fisheries should be given serious consideration in decision-making processes towards the sustainable use and management of coastal seas. This paper analyses 290 …
A social-ecological engagement with reef passages in New Caledonia
Healthy and protected coral reefs help island systems in the tropics thrive and survive. Reef passages link the open ocean to lagoon and coastal areas in these ecosystems and are home to an exceptionally diverse and abundant marine life, hosting emblematic species and fish spawning aggregations. Their multiple benefits for the islands and their peoples (e.g., for transport, fishing, socio-cultural aspects) remain yet understudied. Drawing from qu…
Marine resources and their value in Kadavu, Fiji
Recognition of the multiple types of value of marine resources is crucial to help design locally meaningful and sustainable management approaches for marine and coastal habitats. There is a lack of information on the amount of living marine resources harvested by coastal communities in many Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs), as well as on their economic and non-economic value. This paper explores the monetary, subsistence, and soci…
