“…Given the urgent need for management and the failure of many top-down management regimes in Oceania (Johannes 1978(Johannes , 1998Friedlander 2018), we recommend a community-based management approach to implementing these conservation actions based on local participation in the monitoring of the resource (Mcclanahan et al 1997;Wilson et al 2006;Danielsen et al 2007;Jokiel et al 2011;Ayers and Kittinger 2014;Schemmel et al 2016;Vaughan et al 2017).

Length‐Based Assessment of an Artisanal Albulid Fishery in the South Pacific: a Data‐Limited Approach for Management and Conservation

et al. 2019

Data‐limited fisheries assessment methods have great potential to help inform small island communities on the status of their fisheries resources. In this paper, we provide a length‐based assessment of an artisanal fishery that primarily targets spawning aggregations of Shortjaw Bonefish Albula glossodonta at Anaa Atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. We assessed the length‐frequency distribution of the spawning stock across a 3‐year period (2016–2018). During this time, male and female Shortjaw Bonefish were fully recruited to the fishery at age 4 and age 5, respectively. Fishing mortality was over two times the range of natural mortality for this species (i.e., 0.21–0.32), and based on these estimates of natural mortality, the annual spawning potential ratio of the population was between 7% and 20% across the sampling years. The majority of the catch was sexually mature, with 78, 95, and 95% of the annual female catch in 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively, being equal to or greater than the length of first maturity (i.e., 48 cm FL). However, every fisheries indicator and biological reference point suggested that the fishery was overexploited and in need of management intervention. To this aim, the community of Anaa (1) established an Educational Managed Marine Area, which overlaps with the Shortjaw Bonefish migratory corridor adjacent to Tukuhora village and (2) instated a temporal rahui (a traditional conservation method) inside the Educational Managed Marine Area during the peak months of the spawning season.

“…Drawing from traditional knowledge to support community-based marine resource management provides a promising path to respond to these issues and can facilitate the creation of collaborative, innovative approaches to conserve marine resources [46]. Recently, managers and practitioners in communities across Hawai a i have begun to explore formal co-management agreements, in particular those grounded in place-based cultural norms, values, and practices, between community groups and resource managers, like the State of Hawai a i [61][62][63]. These efforts are oriented around uplifting both people and place towards a vision of aā ina momona.…”

Nā Kilo ʻĀina: Visions of Biocultural Restoration through Indigenous Relationships between People and Place

et al. 2018

Within the realm of multifaceted biocultural approaches to restoring resource abundance, it is increasingly clear that resource-management strategies must account for equitable outcomes rooted in an understanding that biological and social-ecological systems are one. Here, we present a case study of the Nā Kilo aĀ ina Program (NKA)-one approach to confront today's complex social, cultural, and biological management challenges through the lens of biocultural monitoring, community engagement, and capacity building. Through a series of initiatives, including Huli a Ia, Pilinakai, Annual Nohona Camps, and Kūka a i Laulaha International Exchange Program, NKA aims to empower communities to strengthen reciprocal pilina (relationships) between people and place, and to better understand the realistic social, cultural, and ecological needs to support aā ina momona, a state of thriving, abundant and productive people and places. After 10 years of implementation, NKA has established partnerships with communities, state/federal agencies, and local schools across the Hawaiian Islands to address broader social and cultural behavior changes needed to improve resource management. Ultimately, NKA creates a platform to innovate local management strategies and provides key contributions to guiding broader indigenous-driven approaches to conservation that restore and support resilient social-ecological systems.

“…Customarily, local-level resource management in Hawai'i supported thriving social and ecological communities (Ayers and Kittinger 2014;Friedlander et al 2013;Tanaka 2008;Vaughan and Vitousek 2013;Vaughan et al 2016). Th e term 'āina momona (literally: fat lands; fi guratively: abundant and thriving sources of sustenance that support reciprocal relationships between people and place) is used to describe healthy and productive ecological, social, and cultural communities.…”

n AbstrAct: Measuring progress toward sustainability goals is a multifaceted task. International, regional, and national organizations and agencies seek to promote resilience and capacity for adaptation at local levels. However, their measurement systems may be poorly aligned with local contexts, cultures, and needs. Understanding how to build effective, culturally grounded measurement systems is a fundamental step toward supporting adaptive management and resilience in the face of environmental, social, and economic change. To identify patterns and inform future efforts, we review seven case studies and one framework regarding the development of culturally grounded indicator sets. Additionally, we explore ways to bridge locally relevant indicators and those of use at national and international levels. The process of identifying and setting criteria for appropriate indicators of resilience in social-ecological systems needs further documentation, discussion, and refinement, particularly regarding capturing feedbacks between biological and social-cultural elements of systems.n Keywords: biocultural indicators, indicator sets, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, resilience, sustainability, well-being Indigenous and other place-based, local communities increasingly face an assortment of externally codified development and sustainability goals, regional commitments, and national policies and actions that are designed, in part, to foster adaptation and resilience at the local level. Resilience refers to the capacity of a system to absorb shocks and disturbances and to catalyze renewal, adaptation, transformation, and innovation (Béné et al. 2013). Identifying and setting criteria for the underlying factors that confer resilience to a community are the first steps toward effectively aligning external sustainability-seeking processes, often associated with resourcing mechanisms, with locally relevant and locally embraced approaches to sustaining environmental health and community well-being in the face of environmental, social, and economic change (Fazey et al. 2011;Folke et al. 2003).
