Catherine Ann Hair 8 February 2020 vi Acknowledgements My sincere gratitude goes to Professor Paul Southgate, my primary advisor, who convinced me that this PhD was a good idea and then stuck with me through many ups and downs. Thank you for your confidence in me, your humour and, always, your wise and constructive guidance. Associate Professor Simon Foale ended up with a larger role than bargained for and I thank him most sincerely for guiding me through the intersecting worlds of anthropology, social science and fisheries. I appreciate the many in-depth conversations and his endless patience as I discovered the ‘already known’. My co-supervisor, Dr David Mills provided excellent support and advice to many aspects of this study. Valuable knowledge, inspiration and assistance also came from close colleagues; Dr Jeff Kinch, Dr Steven Purcell, Dr Georgi Robinson, Professor Paige West, Dr Mike Rimmer, Dr Chris Barlow and Dr Paul Nelson. A big thank-you to Dr Peter Wood for his ‘above and beyond’ contribution to the GIS aspects of this study. Thanks are also due to Jen Whan, Terry Miller and Susan Jacups at James Cook University, my fellow students, Duy and Ravinesh, and others at the Cairns JCU Postgraduate Centre. I would also like to acknowledge the valuable feedback obtained from anonymous reviewers of journal articles produced during this study and the final thesis. I wish to acknowledge the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research who funded the Papua New Guinea mariculture projects on which I was employed while completing this thesis. This thesis could not have been completed without enormous support with field and hatchery work in New Ireland. A sincere thank you to Rowan McIntyre who was instrumental in early research efforts, he was a friend and source of fun during many hours of field work. To my Lavongai brother, John Aini, kalaro lui for your friendship, assistance, cultural guidance and a quiet haven at the Solwara Skul. Special thanks to Thane Militz for keeping things on track on many occasions. My gratitude is extended to all staff (past and present) of the Nago Island Mariculture and Research Facility for assistance with hatchery work, field experiments and gear construction, most especially Bitalen Peni, Nicholas Daniels, Esther Leini, Steven Namangan, Warren Pingo, Bradley Saesaria and Posolok Kanawi. A big thanks to Peter Minimulu and Jacob Wani for their personal and administrative support, and officers of the National Fisheries Authority in Port Moresby who facilitated aspects of my study. I am very grateful for the assistance and hospitality of many people from the Limanak, Ungakum and Enuk communities. I cannot list everyone but make special mention of: Valentine Konga, Elizabeth and Barol, Esther and Robert Passingan, John and Judy Benga, Stanley and Nangkos (Limanak); Jackson Solo and family, Mandiu Junius and family, and Stanley (Ungakum); and Lembang, Sarah and Lesley Suri, Obed Piskaut, Esau, Pastor Samson and Vivianne (Enuk). Thank you all for welcoming me into your communities and teaching me so much about your culture, lives and livelihoods. You enabled this thesis and enriched me personally. Giro panaliu! vii So many people have been a source of encouragement and support. I am forever grateful to my family: David, Fay, Robert, Karen, Mark, Sue and Lee, and my wonderful nieces and nephews. And to my friends, huge thanks to Bev, Bronwyn, Evizel, Hugh, Jackie, Jan, Julie, Kristi, Lydia, Mary, Phil, Richard and Sue. Thank-you all for motivation, laughs, meals, walks, and simply being there. A very special debt is owed to Sally, Neil and the girls; your thoughtfulness and generosity mean more than you know. I dedicate this thesis to my parents, Gleeson and Aileen Hair, who have accompanied me in spirit on every step of this journey—to Dad, who would be elated to have a ‘Dr’ in the family, and to Mum who knew that education is never wasted. Cathy viii Statement of contributions by others This study was conducted within the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research projects FIS/2010/054 ‘Mariculture Development in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea’ (for which James Cook University was the commissioned organisation) and FIS/2014/061 ‘Improving technical and institutional capacity to support development of mariculture based livelihoods and industry in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea’ (for which the University of the Sunshine Coast was the commissioned organisation).

    SPC Beche-de-mer Information Bulletin #34 – May 2014 3 The IUCN Red List assessment of aspidochirotid sea cucumbers and its implications Chantal Conand1,*, Beth Polidoro2, Annie Mercier3, Ruth Gamboa4, Jean-François Hamel5 and Steve Purcell6 Abstract This article presents the results from the assessment of sea cucumbers in the order Aspidochirotida for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of threatened species. The results were published by IUCN in June 2013. Of 377 species examined, 16 were classified as threatened with extinction (7 as endangered, 9 as vulnerable) based on standard IUCN methodology. We also summarise findings from a recent publication about the drivers of extinction risk in these sea cucumbers. The IUCN listing sends a stern message to resource managers for the conservation of threatened species. The IUCN Red List may also serve to guide future evaluation by CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) for listing some of the species on Appendix II or III in order to set conditions on the trade of those species. We discuss some issues of CITES listing for the Philippines, as a “hotspot” country, and recommend that sea cucumbers should be re-evaluated for listing on CITES Appendix II and III. Introduction accepted system for classifying extinction risk at the species level. This article explains the IUCN Sea cucumbers were once considered a marginal Red List categories and the process of conducting invertebrate marine resource and only recently species assessments, as well as presents the species shown to be significant to global trade, livelihoods now listed as threatened and the implications of and marine ecosystems.

  • Status and Management of the Sea Cucumber Fishery of La Grande Terre, New Caledonia
    Status and management of the sea cucumber fishery of La Grande Terre, New Caledonia From October 2006 to May 2008, The WorldFish Center coordinated a ZoNéCo project to provide support to the Southern and Northern Provinces for decisions about how best to manage the sea cucumber fishery around La Grande Terre. We collected data during underwater population surveys, questionnaire-based interviews with fishers and processors, and landing catch surveys. A core aim was to furnish the Provinces with ‘ballpark’ estimates of the abundance and density of commercially important sea cucumbers on 50 lagoon and barrier reefs. Analysis and synthesis of the ecological and sociological data provide the basis for informed recommendations for fisheries management. Counts of trochus and giant clams on the reefs allow us to also describe the general status of those resources. We propose 13 recommendations for management actions and fishery regulations and advocate an adaptive management approach. This multi- disciplinary study should serve as a useful template for assessing other fisheries, and we provide a series of generic ‘lessons learnt’ to aid future programmes.
