Relational research to elevate cultural dimensions of marine organisms in Hawaiʻi
With the increasing focus on elevating local and Indigenous Knowledge and culture in marine management, there has been a growing desire for methods that identify cultural attributes of marine species. We piloted one method to initiate discussion about how cultural connections to marine organisms in Hawaiʻi might be operationalized in conventional marine management systems. We first compared the taxonomic groups mentioned in NOAA management docume…
Examining the seascape of compliance in U.S. Pacific island fisheries
Noncompliance is a major threat to marine social-ecological systems. Recent noncompliance research has focused on illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fisheries and capacity shortfalls in marine protected areas (MPAs), but less work has assessed other aspects of noncompliance. Although there is wide recognition of the role of noncompliance in governance failures, the academic literature on compliance rarely acknowledges the connections betw…
Try, try again
Participatory Modeling (PM) is becoming increasingly common in environmental planning and conservation, due in part to advances in cyberinfrastructure as well as to greater recognition of the importance of engaging a diverse array of stakeholders in decision making. We provide lessons learned, based on over 200 years of the authors’ cumulative and diverse experience, about PM processes. These include successful and, perhaps more importantly, not-…
Rearticulating the myth of human–wildlife conflict
Human–wildlife conflict has emerged as the central vocabulary for cases requiring balance between resource demands of humans and wildlife. This phrase is problematic because, given traditional definitions of conflict, it positions wildlife as conscious human antagonists. We used content analysis of wildlife conservation publications and professional meeting presentations to explore the use of the phrase, human–wildlife conflict, and compared comp…
Zoonotic Disease Risk Perception and Use of Personal Protective Measures among Wildlife Biologists
In November 2007, a National Park Service (NPS) wildlife biologist died from pneumonic plague after unprotected contact with an infected mountain lion. To begin to assess perceptions of zoonotic disease risk and attitudes toward personal protective measures among NPS biologists, two focus-group discussions were held in September 2008 with 12 biologists from 10 parks. Each facilitator-led discussion lasted approximately 75 minutes. Common themes w…
