“…This paper also adds to the existing literature by engaging children's voices to promote intergenerational justice, and calls for increased efforts in the realization of such intents in sustainable development. This also supports what Fache et al (2022b) have asserted that "children's drawings therefore represent an unconventional but promising way for more inter-and transdisciplinary approaches to marine social-ecological studies" (p. 758). It is hoped that this paper draws attention to the importance of including children's voices and their participations in initiatives and efforts to achieve a sustainable marine future at the local level.…”

“…Therefore, a standard interview guide was used. The drawing interview guide (Table 1) was adapted for the Indonesian workshop series from the timely research by Fache et al (2022b) in Fiji and New Caledonia. The six questions related to the drawings were mainly to record all the items on the drawings and the activities of animals and/or people, and to understand why the children drew in such ways in response to the questions.…”

Ocean tourism is a primary source of income for many small-island and coastal communities. Participatory processes have been advocated to develop and implement community-based management plans to address various problems induced from tourism development and achieve the desired and sustainable futures. One debate over such processes is the under-representation of children. Using drawing workshops with children, this paper aims to explore children's representations and temporal orientations toward the future of the marine environment of a tourist destination – Gili Trawangan in Indonesia. A total of 91 children participated in four drawing workshops in January 2023. They were asked to make two drawings based on the following broad questions: (1) What do you see/do at the sea and coast now? and (2) What do you want to see/do at the sea and coast 5 years later? They also attended a short interview to describe and explain what they had drawn. The children have represented uses of the sea and coast by themselves, other users as well as the marine animals. They have also expressed various temporal orientations through their drawings and interview, including anticipation, hope, expectation, concern, anxiety and despair. These temporal orientations offer a very strong set of information to be included in decision-making workshops and policy recommendations. This paper has reiterated that children do have a stake in such decision-making processes for their sustainable futures and thus their voices need to be heard. This paper is one of the attempts to provide opportunities for children to actively engage in research and have their voices heard through innovative methodologies. It is also the first attempt to explore children's orientations toward the marine futures with the intent to include such information in the subsequent decision-making process. It adds to the existing literature by engaging children's voices to promote inter-generational justice, and calls for increased efforts in the realization of such component in sustainable development.

“…In particular, verbal language is not necessarily the best entry point to emotions for certain categories of persons or cultures (Crapanzano 1994). Art (e.g., drawing, painting, photography, lm, theatre) could be an alternative that could help reveal things that are hardly said (Pagezy et al 2010;Fache et al 2022).…”

Human representations, attitudes and behaviors are influenced by a range of cognitive biases increasingly understood by neuroscience, psychology and economics. Similarly, how cognitive biases affect people’s relationships with non-human livings is an emerging research topic in conservation biology. Yet, assessing cognitive biases remain a methodological challenge in this field of research that mostly rely on in-vivo methods. This study presents an interview-based approach that links cognitive salience and people’s attitudes and emotions to assess positivity and negativity biases. The approach was tested in the Cevennes National Park in France where we investigated how animal cognitive salience was influenced by people’s attitudes and emotions towards animals. Interviews conducted with 100 respondents combined free-listing tasks of the fauna to assess animal cognitive salience and questions to inform people’s attitudes and emotions towards listed animals. Relationships between cognitive salience and attitudes and emotions were analyzed through multi- and bivariate analyses. Respondents listed a total of 154 animals and mainly associated them with positive attitudes and emotions. A significant relationship was found between animal cognitive salience and people’s attitudes and emotions (ANOVA, p < 0.0001): animals associated with positive emotions were more salient in people’s minds than others, and disliked and negative animals had the second highest cognitive salience score. Aligning with neuroscience advances, results suggested the coexistence of a positivity bias and, to a lesser extent, of a negativity bias. We finally discuss the limitations and transferability potential of this approach for further investigating how cognitive biases may influence biodiversity conservation efforts.

“Draw the sea…”: Children’s representations of ocean connectivity in Fiji and New Caledonia

In the South Pacific region, marine territories and resources play a crucial role for local communities. Children engage with these territories and resources from an early age onwards. As the next ocean stewards, they are a stakeholder group whose understandings of ocean connectivity and fisheries should be given serious consideration in decision-making processes towards the sustainable use and management of coastal seas. This paper analyses 290 children’s drawings from Fiji and New Caledonia, created in 2019 in spontaneous response to the instruction: “Draw the sea and what you and others do in the sea”. Exploring the webs of connections with and within the sea revealed by these children’s drawings and their own interpretations leads us to discuss children’s representations of the sea: (1) beyond a land-sea compartmentation, (2) as a locus of both exploitation and conservation of marine life, and (3) as a ‘place-full’ space connecting human and more-than-human realms.
