The Rural Context of Giant Clam Mariculture in Solomon Islands

An Anthropological Study

Document format: pdf

Publisher: International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management

Creation date: 1993

This study, based on field research in a number of locations throughout Solomon Islands and supplemented by reviews of published and unpublished literature and other documentary sources, examines important elements of the context of village-based giant clam mariculure in the Pacific Islands region. With the increased feasibility of and interest in the development of mariculture in the South Pacific, particularly of giant clams, but also of algae and other marine products, important social, economic and legal challenges arise. This study of Solomon Islands examines social and cultural parameters typically relevant for mariculture development throughout the Pacific Islands region.
