Summary: | "This is perhaps the best monograph on how Pacific islanders relate to their marine resources since Robert Johannes's Words of the Lagoon: Fishing and Marine Lore in the Palau District of Melanesia (1981), and it stands as a major contribution to the study of indigenous marine tenure systems that should be required reading for everyone concerned with the issue of allocating marine resources." --American Anthropologist |
