“…Its total population of 11,863 mainly reside in 75 villages and settlements (Kadavu Provincial Office, 2020 census, unpublished). Most economic activity is based on agriculture and fisheries, largely undertaken at subsistence level (Robertson et al 2020 ). The major cash crop for the province is yaqona (kava, Piper methysticum ), from the roots of which a ceremonial drink is made, also popularly consumed as part of various types of social gatherings (Sofer 2007 in Robertson et al 2020 ), and which is sold (and sometimes exported) in its dried or powdered forms.…”

Recognition of the multiple types of value of marine resources is crucial to help design locally meaningful and sustainable management approaches for marine and coastal habitats. There is a lack of information on the amount of living marine resources harvested by coastal communities in many Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs), as well as on their economic and non-economic value. This paper explores the monetary, subsistence, and sociocultural value of selected marine resources (finfish and invertebrates) in Kadavu province, Fiji, based on a household survey and semi-structured interviews conducted in 2019 within one specific district. The paper provides estimates of the annual catch and monetary value of marine resources harvested by local communities at both the district and provincial levels, derived from catch and effort information collected from fishers and gleaners in situ. It also highlights the importance of integrating the sociocultural significance of marine resources into future value assessments.

“…Consequently, Pacific coastal communities have often appropriated inshore areas as part of their land-sea territories (e.g., Fiji’s customary fishing rights areas or iqoliqoli ). Since the ‘renaissance of community-based marine resource management’ at the turn of the twenty-first century (Johannes 2002 ), dynamic and flexible tools have been developed to manage these inshore areas, 5 such as ‘taboo areas’ (e.g., Foale et al 2011 ; Fache and Breckwoldt 2018 ) and Locally Managed Marine Areas (LMMAs; Govan 2009 ; Robertson et al 2020 ). This connectivity between land and sea becomes apparent in the work by Fache et al ( 2022 ), which highlights school-children’s views on their inseparability.…”
