This collection deals with an ancient institution in Eastern Polynesia called the rahui, a form of restricting access to resources and/or territories. While tapu had been extensively discussed scientific literature on Oceanian anthropology, rahui is quite absent from secondary modern literature. situation all more problematic because individual actors, societies, and states Pacific are readapting such concepts their current needs, as environment regulation or cultural legitimacy. book...
Our contribution will present the methods and results of first international project (POLYCONE, supported by Belmont Forum, CRA Ocean) in sustainability science, aimed at establishing a sustainable, fair ethical management plan for marine cones French Polynesia. After four years interdisciplinary work dialogue with local communities authorities, we levers obstacles to sustainable use retribution genetic resources, focusing on socio-ecological governance as transformative effective solution...
This presentation provides an overview of the importance Indigenous marine areas around world. Critical to implementation several global conservation and climate agreements is understanding scale, location, values oceans over which Peoples exercise traditional rights. However, spatial information on waters, lagoon has never been aggregated at a scale. Thus, using publicly available geospatial resources, we show Peoples’ management or tenure rights ocean various seascapes. It concludes that...
Resource sustainability requires recognising and developing pathways to integrate local Indigenous knowledges alongside conservation sciences within management practices governance. However, knowledge never occurs in a vacuum, is always mediated by the beliefs, values, or stances towards its possession use particular contexts.

Cet article étudie les dynamiques territoriales liées à la mise en place d'aires marines protégées dans le lagon de Moorea. L'instauration ces zones spécifiques implique un double processus, « déterritorialisation » (consistant quitter espace lagonaire avec cadre analytique ou mental référence qui lui est associé, qu'il soit écologique, technologique social) et reterritorialisation aménager nouveau rapport territoire marin intérioriser nouvelles références culturelles pratiques découlent)...
Coral reef preservation is a challenge for the whole of humanity, not just estimated three billion people that directly depend upon coral reefs their livelihoods and food security. Ocean acidification combined with rising sea surface temperatures, an array other anthropogenic influences such as pollution, sedimentation, over fishing, mining represent key threats currently facing survival. Here we summarize list agreements, policies, socio-economic tools instruments can be used by global,...
