  • Scandal, Marae Moana, and Nation Making in the Cook Islands
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa “What Now, Fishgate?” Scandal, Marae Moana, and Nation Making in the Cook Islands Trevor J Durbin In less than two decades, large marine protected areas have become an increasingly important strategy in attempts to sustain ocean life threat- ened by climate change, overfishing, marine pollution, and other impacts (Toonen and others 2013; Wilhelm and others 2014). Proponents claim that over 80 percent of all protected marine space now exists within large areas that measure in the hundreds of thousands to millions of square kilometers (Toonen and others 2013). Pacific Island countries have been global leaders in this movement to design ocean stewardship at scale and have used these achievements as evidence that Small Island Devel- oping States are better thought of as Large Ocean States (Maclellan 2012). Pacific Island leaders such as President Anote Tong of Kiribati and Prime Minister Henry Puna of the Cook Islands have made political and moral declarations about the global significance of their nations’ exten- sive marine territorial rights and cultural heritage of sustainability. These claims are evocative of Epeli Hau‘ofa’s well-known critiques of Pacific regional development paradigms and his argument that Pacific Islands are not small or isolated by the ocean but rather connected through it and the expansive practices of its residents (Hau‘ofa 1994). However, despite the growing importance of large
