Coral Reef Policy,” Journal of Environment and Development, vol. 11,
no. 1 (March 2002), pp. 53-78
This is the only article in political science on the global politics
of coral reefs. It provides the history of political discussions,
detailed scientific knowledge, and review of theoretical explanations
of the 'nonregime' on coral management.

Dear all,
I am interested to review literature on coastal resource management
and conservation approaches, particularly in the Pacific, but
generally or else where is also welcomed.
I am particularly interested in the question of which approach is
more effective to both improving community livelihood and marine/
reef environments. As many conservation-based projects seek to
create no-fishing zones/conservative MPAs and bring alternative
economic livelihood practices to communities, it seems they are
generally less successful as hoped. Meanwhile, approaches to reform
current fisheries/coastal management practices may lead to the same
targets envisioned though not met through conservation approaches,
e.g. biodiversity conservation, improved value/profit to
communities, improved quality of catch, health, local
empowerment...etc.
Again, these are just thoughts at the moment and I am grateful for
any suggested literature to inform this conversation.
Many thanks!
