“…However, because these ecosystem connections operate across small geographies, the health and wellbeing of island peoples are highly vulnerable to large-scale disturbances (e.g. from tropical cyclones or flooding) that disrupt ecosystem processes and functions operating across multiple realms (Griffith & Ashe 1993; Aston 1999; Jenkins & Jupiter 2015). For instance, in-stream water quality and biodiversity can be degraded following periods of high rainfall and flooding: in high island watersheds with high rates of deforestation on erosion-prone soils, researchers have documented reduced abundance and diversity of freshwater resources and increased in-stream bacteria and incidence of waterborne bacterial disease (Jenkins & Jupiter 2011; Ragosta et al 2011; Jenkins et al 2016).…”

Despite a growing body of literature on integrated land-sea management (ILSM), very little critical assessment has been conducted in order to evaluate ILSM in practice on island systems. Here we develop indicators for assessing 10 integrated island management principles and evaluate the performance of planning and implementation in four island ILSM projects from the tropical Pacific across different governance structures. We find that where customary governance is still strongly respected and enabled through national legislation, ILSM in practice can be very effective at restricting access and use according to fluctuations in resource availability. However, decision-making under customary governance systems may be vulnerable to mismanagement. Governmentled ILSM processes have the potential to design management actions that address the spatial scale of ecosystem processes and threats within the context of national policy and legislation, but may not fully capture broad stakeholder interests, and implementation may be poorly coordinated across highly dispersed island archipelagos. Private sector partnerships offer unique opportunities for resourcing island ILSM, although these are highly likely to be geared towards private sector interests that may change in the future and no longer align with community and/or national objectives. We identify consistent challenges that arise during

ABSTRACT. Management of trans‐boundary fisheries is a complicated problem with biological, legal, economic and political implications. We propose a simple stochastic differential‐equation model to describe a biopolitical consensus view of fish stock dynamics. Estimates of the drift and diffusion terms of three stochastic differential equations are obtained using data from the southern bluefin tuna (SBT) fishery with a method based on the Kolmogorov‐Smirnov statistic. We refer to these estimated equations as alternative biopolitical consensus views of SBT stock dynamics. Each of these is used to generate a time series of optimal harvest that achieves the objective of maximizing the present value of expected fishery returns. These time series of optimal harvests are then compared to actual harvests for the period 1981 1997.
