There are some exciting examples for us to explore. In this body of work there are fascinating glimpses of connections between Maori traditional knowledge and the knowledge systems and practice of the Pacific and particularly the Polynesian cultural groups with which Maori share ancestral ties.

Government-supported, Village-based Management of Marine Resources in Vanuatu [truncated title]
Author(s): R E Johannes

Full title: In-Depth Solution Coverage - Government-supported, Village-based Management of Marine Resources in Vanuatu.
This paper looks at traditional village-based marine management which has been occuring in Vanuatu, independent of the largely ineffective management by central government. The paper explores the benefits and success of traditional management, whilst acknowledging the shortcomings of it (largely the shortage of scientific knowledge). It also looks at the potential for traditional management to be supported within the national framework.
